I had the pleasure of creating this dimensional flying geese quilt with Collage, a brand new range of fabrics by SUCH Designs for Windham Fabrics. The fabric is scheduled to be released in July. Carrie Bloomston is the artist responsible for the impeccably designed fabrics I used in this quilt. I couldn't help but play with the rainbow-y graduation of colors when laying out the fabrics, they seem to beg for it.
{Hand-tied using DMC Pearl Cotton in Ecru}
Aside from the vivid colors that this range offers, I truly loved the kernels of wisdom embedded on the 'newsprint' and 'scattered' prints. Who doesn't enjoy an uplifting, thought provoking quote? There are some goodies on here!
You can read more about Carrie's inspiration for this line on her blog, get to know her! She's going to be around for awhile, she's a tried and true artist...I can't wait to see what else she's got up her smock sleeve. She's also got links to all of the other designers that were making some magic with this fabric....they are all having giveaways too!
and now for some free stuff...
To celebrate the arrival of Collage, SUCH Designs and Windham fabrics are offering up a layer cake (10" squares) of the entire range. You don't have to wait until July to get sewing if you win one!

Hi Erica!
I'm sorry if this is my second comment about this, I couldn't tell if the one yesterday went through. I absolutely LOVE this quilt. It's so beautiful and you did such an amazing job! I was wondering if you have a pattern for it, or if you just whipped it up on your own. Either way, would you be willing to provide some yardage and cutting instructions? I would love to pay for this is possible, I REALLY want to make one similar. I hope this isn't offensive, I just love your work! Thanks very much!
Alex :)
