100 details in 200 days - Details 10 and 11

I'm keeping a couple of jumps ahead of this game! Detail 11 is due today, but I have detail 12 and 13 done too, (just for insurance). I won't post until the due date, but it's nice to be a bit ahead of the game.



Here's Detail 10:

Beautiful Solids

I really have a passion for beautifully colored solid fabrics. Most of my quilts feature the wonderful fabrics and colors found in the Robert Kaufman Kona collection.

Yesterday I treated myself to 16 different colors from Robert Kaufman's Chambray collection. These new fabrics have a gorgeous quality to them!


Their beauty is due to how they are woven. Instead of one color used for both the warp and the weft, two different colors are used.


See how the warp and weft in this fabric are different colors? When woven together the colors blend to create this beautiful "Moth'" color!


Can you see how the this also gives the fabric a luminous iridescent look? Gorgeous!
