The wait is finally over!
But I promise it has been worthwhile!! Here is the last of the 3 projects I completed for Camelot Fabrics as
they got ready to launch several new fabric collections at the International
Quilt Market back in October.
Their Alchemy Collection features lovely shades of blues
with geometric patterns and it's even prettier in person!
I’m in LOVE with this entire project. The fabrics were beyond amazing to work with –
they feel great, look great and stitch beautifully. The Whimsical quilt pattern chosen highlights the
geometric nature of the prints. Which is why I kept the quilting linear and
simple; I wanted the focus to be on the fabric, the quilt design and have the geometric
layers really stand out.

As tempting as it may be, I don’t recommend chain piecing all
the blocks at the same time. While the
design is not complex, it is easy to get turned around and attach strips to the
wrong side. But it is so rewarding and
encouraging to see the blocks come together.
I particularly love the thin white strips in and around each block; it really showcases the gorgeous prints in the Alchemy Collection.
This quilt is not only beautiful, but I can attest to the
warmth and functionality as well. Back
in early October, we had a few cold days and it just so happened to coincide
with my binding. I had such a pleasant
hand-binding experience all snuggled up underneath the quilt while catching up
on shows! And my excitement for the
project got the better of me and I couldn’t resist sharing this sneak peak with
you on Instagram. Recognize it?!
It was with mixed emotions that I turned in the Mickey Mouse & Friends Table Runner and Alchemy Whimsical Quilt just before Thanksgiving
weekend. I had such an amazing time
working with the Camelot Fabrics’ team and Marion was just a stellar contact
throughout that I was sad to see it come to an end! And parting with the projects was really tough! I’m keeping my fingers crossed we get to collaborate again!!
I would love to hear which of the 3 projects was your
favourite? The Flourish Saybrook Pillow,
the Mickey Mouse & Friends Table Runner or this stunning Whimsical Alchemy Quilt?!
