These particular prints from the collection are called Color Strokes, and they are absolutely gorgeous. They have the perfect amount of texture for when you are looking for fabrics that are almost solid, but not quite, which makes them extremely versatile. They are so saturated and fun, and are perfectly summery!
I decided to design a mini quilt using flying geese, a classic quilting building block, but give it some interest by varying the sizes to create the sliding effect.
I have written a full tutorial for this mini, making it super easy! Be sure to head over to Sew In Love With Fabric to check it out the full tutorial. But before you go, I'm thrilled to let you know that Benartex is offering a fat quarter bundle of these luscious fabrics as a giveaway, so take a second to enter.
Good luck to all, and happy (almost) summer!
