This pretty line is called Something Borrowed and it will be arriving in shops this month! You can see more of it here on the Riley Blake website.
So here's a fun fact about me. I decided in the 5th grade that my favorite color was blue and it's been that way ever since.
Every blue. All blues. Love them all. On top of that, blue has been one of the school colors at EVERY school I've ever attended. Crazy, huh?
I was just meant to be a blue fan. And this line is SO right up my alley.
To show off these lovely blue prints, I decided to re-make my Split Stars quilt - it was originally in Love Patchwork and Quilting magazine a couple of years ago.
But don't worry about trying to dig up the magazine...I'll be making a new version of the pattern available in my shop on Monday - with 3 new sizes added in!
I just love the combination of florals and geometric prints in this line. And Christopher did a great job at finding the perfect soft grays that complement both the navy and the light blue prints.
And I have to give him a big ol' high five for including a bias stripe in his line - my#1 choice for a quilt binding. Isn't it great?
You can find Something Borrowed here at the Fat Quarter Shop and look for it in your local quilt shops soon!
Happy sewing, and I'll see you on Monday with more information about the Split Stars new pattern.

ReplyDeleteI love the pattern and the fabrics you have chosen are just perfect for it!
ReplyDeleteThis quilt is gorgeous!!! Love everything about it!!!
ReplyDeleteAndy, it’s just so pretty! The perfect quilt pattern to showcase this new line.
ReplyDeleteWhat fabric did you use for the background? Was it true white or off white?
ReplyDeletecurious about this too!
DeleteI'd like to know if the background white fabric was a solid or a tone on tone, can't tell by the picture!
DeleteI believe I used Moda Bella 97 - it's not a white-white, but a softer white. I don't have any off-white solids here to hold up to the Something Borrowed fabric to see how it would look, sorry!
DeleteBrowsing through Pinterest for blue quilt inspiration and stumbled across your blog. It is the PERFECT combination of fabric and pattern. I ordered all the supplies to make this for my mom--who like you--has loved blue her entire life!
ReplyDeleteI had this fabric and couldn't decide for the longest time what pattern I wanted to use. I chose something different than this. I REALLY wish I had come across this one before I started cutting my layer cake. Love this one.
ReplyDeleteHi Andy! This is a beautiful quilt. Which fabric did you use for the backing?
ReplyDeleteIt was just a solid blue fabric that I found at my local quilt shop - sorry that I don't have more info about it for you!
