little school quilt.

I'm back with another quilt. I just love this style quilt so much, it's a great way to showcase your favorite prints and colors in ways that don't distract. This is a pretty durable design too...

I used some Japanese fabric by Kokka, simply dreamy....

The "orange" which is actually terra cotta didn't photograph so well. Trust me, it is not that bright! Hmm...maybe you should adjust your monitor.



Possibly my favorite Kona color ever, Robert Kaufman in olive. yum.

Take care! Sew something!
