Show Off Tablerunner!

Originally, I designed "Show Off! Tablerunner" to showcase some bright, fun contemporary prints.

It took me awhile to figure out how to put the four patch between the on-point squares. It's a bit of an optical illusion that requires some simple assembly tricks. I liked it in these fabrics.

But then I found this POPPY print by Laura Gunn for Michael Miller fabrics -- and I LOVED it in these fabrics!

Enjoy, Lori

Color Splash Conclusion!

I know you've been dying to know what I made with those fabrics posted LAST YEAR on July 4th! Blooming Patchwork. Kits are available for this quilt at www.the-sampler.com Enjoy.

How Yummy Are These Fabrics?

I just LOVE the Kaffe Fassett stripes and shot cottons. They are a little primitive compared to the smooth high quality cottons that we typically see in quilt shops BUT, and this is a big BUT, they are yarn dyed wovens from India that have a particularly warm, earthy appeal.

What do you suppose I should make with these?

I have a little something in mind that my friends at DCSQ suggested that I name "TV Test Pattern!" Stay tuned.
