It's Spring time and all the flowers are blooming! Getting ready for Spring means adding pops of color here and there to your home and garden. Why not choose a project to brighten up your space? The new Reflections line is out by Island Batik and it is gorgeous!I had an opportunity to use the Reflections by Island Batik and designed by Jennifer Fulton of the Inquiring Quilter.
These beautiful shades of purples, blues and greens are so soothing and relaxing. They are the perfect accompaniment to add to your Spring Decor. I chose two shades of purple, one blue and one green to compliment the white foundations fabric. I chose to make a quilted pillow to add some color to my couch. These colors are so lovely and one thing I know is that Jennifer designed this beautiful line with one of her favorite colors in mind, purple. Purple is such a fantastic color to work with and the blues and greens complimented it so well. My sister's favorite color is purple too! I can see why.
With these beautiful colors, I chose to make nine snowball blocks for the pillow top. I also appliqued some fun flowers on it too. Each block consists of five pieces and the blocks are 6" finished. I used Accuquilt to cut the blocks and the appliqué pieces. To piece efficiently, I chain pieced the blocks together. This method is used to sew pieces one after another without cutting inbetween. Each block piece is sewn and then the next piece is added.
After forming each block, then the pillow front was formed and I added the appliquèd flowers. I used a raw edge appliquè method. I just love the green flowers appliquèd on the blue and purple fabrics. It showcases all of the colors and fabrics of Jennifer's designs.
This is a great way to change up your decor for the season and this line contrasted with the white foundations fabric brightens up the room.
