Arcadia Avenue QAL Final Reveal - Take 2

Arcadia Avenue QAL Final Reveal - Take 2

Alrighty! I am back in Colorado and finally sharing the finished batik quilt from our Arcadia Avenue QAL! I love how this version turned out. My Mom used assorted teal, blue and purple batiks for the colors, assorted pinks for the accent, a black batik for the dark and a cream batik for the light.

When Bonnie Christine, of Going Home to Roost, posted a call for designers to participate in her Cultivate Blog Tour, I jumped at the opportunity! I've always loved Bonnie's aesthetic, colors and designs, so I was very excited to participate.

Drumroll please.... We are revealing the finished Arcadia Avenue quilts this week (and next week) and we are kicking things off with fun rainbow version! I love this version! Each block has it's own color plus a light, medium and dark. It is a fun, colorful and scrappy take on the original.

Today I am sharing the perfect quilt for summer!

We made this Firelights Lane quilt up in Summer Song 2 by Zoe Pearn for Riley Blake Designs' Quilt Market booth in Minneapolis this Spring. This fun line is full of bright colors, funky flowers, multicolored stripes and blooming trees.

When I saw snippets of Monaluna's new fabric line, Haiku, I swooned a little! It has watercolored flowers that give the line a batik look with pops of glitzy gold accents. The color scheme of pale pink, rich eggplant, soft grey-blue and olive green is to die for! We made our Canyon Boulevard with Haiku and it has become one of my favorite quilts!

Another two weeks has flown by and we are onto the 11th block of our 12 block Arcadia Avenue QAL. Can you believe we only have one more block after this? Where has the time gone?! Both of our lives have changed quite a bit since we have started this quilt along. It has been a wild ride and we are loving every second of it!

Welcome Blog Hoppers! Timeless Treasures has a neat new division that is breathing new life into the textile designs of our past, called Revive. Their debut collection is inspired by all the sass and geometry of the lively Art Deco era. When I studied architecture my favorite time period was the 1920's and 1930's, so this line really is a knockout for me! It was a time of bold colors, lavish ornamentation and fabulous flapper dresses.

We all love an adorable baby quilt photo and they don't get much cuter than this one! This is Aaron Hoffman's (of Hoffman California Fabrics) newest little man, Rex, looking all kinds of precious on his Lullaby Lane quilt.

Happy belated 4th of July! I hope everyone enjoyed their long weekend. I stayed up with my parents this weekend for a little mini vacation. We worked on some home projects, did some sewing, dreamed about puppies, watched fireworks and ate some yummy barbecued foods! It was a much needed relaxing weekend!
