The fruit basket fabric arrived yesterday and it matches the colors in the quilt even better than I thought it would. I bought it from QuiltHome.com and their site has pretty true colors. You can also enlarge the thumbnail to see more of each print. I was really happy to find this in the Specials section at a great price. I got the 4 sections sewn together and now need to work on the inner border around the focus fabric.
It really does look like it was made to go with it! I've just realized how much mor3e beautiful your blog is when I look at it on my computer screen which I rarely do these days, using my I Pad instead. The quilt is beautiful!
I really was not loving this quilt until you put that basket in...what a difference it makes! Love the green border around the basket too! It ties all the colours together so beautifully and sort if gives the quilt purpose. I love it! It would look great on my kitchen wall! And as always your colour sense is amazing! (Your stash must be too!)
Smashing quilt Wanda - this is not a pattern I usually like much but your choice of fabrics and the basket in the middle has changed my mind! I have a few Kaffe fabrics (very few) so I might just have to invest in some more and have a go at this.... I love it. Cheers, Helen
Just lovely! It would've been very nice with one of the other basket fabrics, and I know i wouldn't have had the patience to wait for a mail order to arrive. But that definitely made the difference between good and great!
Beautiful!

The quilt is beautiful!
Love it! It is really fun to see this coming together so beautifully.
ReplyDeletePerfect! Just enough difference to distinguish it from the rest of the quilt.

ReplyDeleteFrom your photo, it looks almost like a perfect match! The leaves around the basket almost look "kaffey"!
ReplyDeleteGreat colors!!! The centerpiece is excellent.
ReplyDeleteIt is all so lovely!
ReplyDeleteA perfect match, you couldn't get any better! Looking a real beauty.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if I will ever come to like Kaffe Fassett fabric. I finally came around to batiks. Always late to the party.
