Fabric Focus: Darla by Tanya Wheelan

I don't normally go for the soft romantic girly fabrics, but this line just jumped out at me. I'm currently using fabrics form this line to design a quilt around my "Love Birds" embroidery pattern. The fabrics are of a great quality and feel so wonderful. The colors are just gorgeous and blend so well together. I love the aquas in this line. The "reds" in this line are not true reds but more of a darker deeper shade of pink. I know it's hard to show fabrics on a computer and I wish I had known this when I bought my fabrics. Nonetheless, the colors are beautiful together.

I bought my fabrics from Quilt Taffy's eBay store. They had a fat quarter package that I ordered, giving me a good assortment of the fabric line. They also shipped very quickly and had great customer service.

On to the inspirational projects:

First up is a baby quilt form the Quilt Taffy Blog

Fabric Focus: Neptune by Tula Pink

Introducing "Fabric Focus." A new feature to my blog where I will pick a fabric I love and post projects made with those fabrics to help inspire you on your sewing journey!

First my first Fabric Focus I have picked my very favorite line (at the moment) "Neptune" by Tula Pink for Moda.


Every time I see this fabric I get little butterfly's and can't help but let out a little sigh of contentment! Something about this line just hits a spot with me. The blues, teals, greens, and pinks are so soothing and go well together.

I Just ordered a bunch of charm packs from Hancock's of Paducah for $3.98 each! Be still my heart! I'll be stalking the mailman as soon as I get the "order shipped" email. Go get your own before they sell out, and trust me they go quickly a this price!

So here are some projects I ran across that use this fabric line, maybe they will inspire you to create something too!

Pinwheel Baby quilt by Little Legwarmers

I love the pinwheel on this little quilt. This quilt is available through her Etsy store. I might just have to make a quilt like this with my charm packs! I think I want lots more pinwheels though!

Stacked Coin Quilt by My Three Sons

All I can say is "WOW!" I love the simplicity of this quilt, yet the impact is anything but simple!

Here is another Stacked Coins quilt by Inspired by Aubergine

I'm loving the pieced back on this quilt!

I Here is a Backporch Rainbow Block Quilt by alobsiger

I just love the circles. It's almost like a circle version of the Bento Box Quilt pattern.
