Lucky me! I got to work with some Remix fabric from Ann Kelle. I adore these fabrics, since they’re just the perfect modern kids fabric! They’re so bright and fun, yet not just for the kids either.
I added a few solids and a couple other prints to the boyish bundle she sent me, and used some simple patchwork squares again. I decided to try tying again, instead of quilting. This technique, together with the flannel on the back, add up to one of the softest quilts ever!
And I’m really liking the look of it too! I used up the last of the Remix fat quarters to make a scrappy binding. I think my favorite print is those green and blue dots in rows. Such a cool look for a binding!
Ann Kelle fabrics are manufactured by Robert Kaufman, so just search for “remix”, or “Ann Kelle” and you should find them! I know that Hawthorne Threads and FatQuarterShop both have these prints in stock.
I also received a bundle of similar prints in girl colors, which is already a quilt, and I’ll be showing you soon!

They say, cool colors as you have, along with black and whites stimulate memory longer. Not only looks nice, but our brains think so too.

Love this color combo. I've been reading under a tie quilt my Grandma made and it sure IS soft and snugly!

I've never tried tying a quilt but I do have a new baby on the way which is the perfect excuse to try it out!

Beautiful! I love the color combo: blues, greens, black and white, and the measuring tape (cute!) We have a family quilt that is tied, it's over 80 years old and still looks great! Love your quilt!

So nice! It looks super soft and cuddly. Do you know what that royal blue cross-hatch fabric is? It goes so well with the collection but I can't find it for some reason.
