Hi Sweet Quilty Friends! We had some unseasonably cool weather last week. It only lasted a couple of days but it was long enough to get the love of Autumn kick started. Well going shopping at Hobby Lobby was also a big help. The fall decor this year is loaded with black gingham. Yeah gingham! You all know my love of gingham....ANY COLOR! The starts of a new series of quilt patterns has begun. Inspiration is a funny thing, you just never know when or where it will happen or where it will lead once it strikes.
While prepping my fabrics for cutting I had to stop for a bit to read every word on this fat quarter from the Autumn Love collection by Riley Blake. It brought a smile to my face and a calming in my heart. Not every fabric has this overwhelming effect, especially fabrics in gray and black...colors I rarely use. Of course fabric makes me happy but blacks and grays?...not so much.
It really is the little things that make the difference. Could this be the start of a new love affair with darker colors? Or is it just a quick fling? Only time will tell. For now I'm loving where this inspiration is headed.
