There is "gold dust" sprinkled around the dandelion puffs!
Do you see it here?
I did not ... looks like gray speckles to me.
I have been looking and working with these lovely fabrics for several days now and
when I placed these two fabrics side by side to sew ...
... magic happened !
These are two different fabric lines.
The birdies are from "A Little Bird Told Me"
The dandelion puffs are from "Make a Wish"
I combined these two lines for this quilt because I wanted to add the peach and gold to my new quilt.
Did you see the message on the selvage ... "threaded with love" ?
These are quality fabrics ... :-)
My longtime readers know that I wash all fabrics except small precuts due to an allergic reaction
to the chemicals in the finishing process.
I am happy to say that these new Lewis and Irene fabrics have passed
the wash test with flying colors.
The weave is tight; the fabric thick and nice to touch;
it does not warp in the wash; shrinkage was minimal and the colors do not run
I have a serious case of fabric love going on here ... <3 <3 <3
This is a new pattern that I am developing and it started Here
It will be another free tutorial on the Bear Creek Quilting Blog
I am calling this new quilt design "Wish Catcher!"
More soon!
Just keep sewing .... :-)

Love the MAGIC today! Thanks for sharing the tidbits Pat.
Great color combinations.
Those fabrics go together so beautifully!
I love the bird fabric! And I agree with the other comments. Those fabrics pair up beautifully
Beautiful designs and colors...love the birds!
Pat, I can't wait to see the finished product, as it will be magical. My granddaughter would love it, because she loves "wish sticks" (dandelion flowers gone to seed) lol Have a good time working this project!
