to say that i am excited about today's giveaway is an understatement. i bit the bullet and pre-ordered yardage of bella by the amazingly talented lotta jansdotter a few weeks ago and have been stalking my mailbox ever since. it was simply a no brainer. i'm a HUGE fan of hers and loved her previous line echo. i decided that you all should have some bella too! my awesome sponsor fat quarter shop has generously offered up some of this gorgeous new line for a giveaway today! thank you fat quarter shop <3

the new line bella doesn't disappoint either. with fresh colors, a touch of whimsy and some great new staples i will definitely be using this collection in everything. i had a very, very hard time deciding what color and what prints to order first. i wish i could have bought the whole line in yardage but this momma is on a budget peeps :P i can easily see these prints lending themselves from quilts, home decor to clothing. it's going to be so fun to play with them! and i can't wait for you to play with them too! are you ready to see what you could win?? yay!

Hot d*&n! I would make the "Easy Going Modern" quilt as designed by Felicity @ http://felicityquilts.blogspot.ca/
ReplyDeleteHer pattern would allow the focus to be on the fabric itself. And it's a quick quilt to make, so it would actually get done in a reasonable amount of time.

I'd want to make a quilt but since I can never commit to something so huge, I'd probably use it in smaller projects. Maybe a pieced bag or pillow.

This line is perfect for a gender-neutral nursery! I'd make a baby quilt with the layer cake!!
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I think I'd either make placemats or maybe some cup mats...something small to quilt that is both fun and functional so that I could see it everyday. I might even be persuaded to make a small wall quilt :)

I would make two lap quilts out of this beautiful fabric combined with basics.
