Cheer Up Quilt + Wanderings Fabrics

Cheer Up quilt by Andy of A Bright Corner - using Wanderings fabrics from Poppie Cotton

 I'm happy to be able to share with you today a stack of new, pretty fabrics along with another finished quilt.  It's been a couple of busy weeks around here at A Bright Corner!

 Wanderings is the newest line from Poppie Cotton and is shipping to stores this week!  And today is my stop on the Wanderings fabric tour.

 Wanderings is filled with sweet pinks, soft blues, and a whole bunch of really lovely low volume prints.

 I'm writing up a new version of my Cheerful pattern.  This one will have smaller blocks and a different layout -- and I knew these soft, floral Wanderings prints would be perfect for this new pattern.

 I'd say that a good 80% of the time I tend to use bright, primary colors for my quilt projects - so it's been a refreshing change to work with this new, softer color palette.  

 It's just SO lovely - that wildflower print on white is my favorite from the line, followed closely by the sweet pink butterflies!

 I love clicking through these fabric tours and seeing the variety of projects all made with the same line.  You really get a feel for how the prints play together, and how they might work in whatever project you're dreaming up.  

 You can find the full list of creators that are participating here on the Poppie Cotton blog.  

 We've seen some pretty things so far, and I've seen sneak peeks of some of the upcoming stuff and they're gooood!

    I'd love to see a closeup of what appears to be a family tree-ish photo collage above the chair & quilt. Nifty concept!

    I like your new version of Cheerful, but I like the old one too. It's going to be hard to decide which one to buy.

    It is delightful! I’m also working with a soft palette at the moment and enjoying it. I love this pattern and how almost any fabric bundle would work with it.
