I’m finding that a lot of these patterns need a large chunk of one type of fabric for the background. I don’t have a lot of pieces that are more than 2 yards, so that’s gonna be a fun challenge to find fabrics that work! Anyways for this one I’m going with an unusual choice. I think it is Andover Chambray in Bluegrass, but I bought it in an actual store and now when I look at the swatch online it looks more blue, whereas this fabric I’ve got here is fairly green. One thing I’ve learned though is that trying to choose solid fabrics online by the way the swatches look on your screen is not a wise thing to do!
After choosing this fabric as my background, I decided these two fabrics (above) from my stack just weren’t working the best. I stuffed them into my stash pile and imagined I heard their sigh of relief at having escaped the chopping block!
I chose these two (above) to replace them. Just looking at the photo above it doesn’t make much sense, but I wanted to add a bit more purple and blue.
And so here’s my stack for now! I hope to start cutting tonight, although I do need to put the binding on my last one…
Also, Fabric Spark is having a back to school sale this weekend! 20% off all kids fabric with coupon code “coolkids”. And lucky for us, ‘kids’ fabric apparantly includes lots of stripes and geometric prints as well!

It's designed by Monaluna, the collection is called Haiku.
There is just something about this color palette that draws me in… definitely a keeper!!!

ewww so pretty. The colors in the bundle are really nice. The blue fabric does look more green but in the picture you can see the blue coming thru.
Can't wait to see the finish product.
