Welcome to my stop on the Berry Crush blog hop! Berry Crush is a signature fabric collection for my friend Jennifer Thomas of Curlicue Creations, designed by Jerry Khiev of Island Batik/Lumin Fabrics.
When Jennifer asked if I'd sew something with Berry Crush fabrics, I was thrilled! I absolutely love the pinks and purples with just a hint of orange/tangerine in Berry Crush, and the motifs of flowers, vines, and berries are so lovely.
I used a block I designed earlier in the year for my Stay at Home Round Robin quilt, and used just that block. I'm calling in Flare, because the block looks like an explosion to me. So this is Berry Flare.
I used sixteen different fabrics from Berry Crush in the blocks, plus a seventeenth Berry Crush fabric as the binding. I wanted some slightly lighter fabrics to compliment the beautiful berry colors, so I added Lavender and a yellow blender in alternating blocks. The background is Egg White. All three are from Island Batik's always-available Foundations.
I absolutely love these fabrics!!!! Berry Crush ships to quilt shops this month.
Be sure to check out all the stops on the Berry Crush blog hop! And Jennifer is doing a giveaway of a fat quarter bundle of Berry Crush!! You will find the details on her post.
Your quilt is really gorgeous Emily! These fabrics look so awesome with the pattern you designed. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI love this design, Emily! Those tiny purple cornerstones in the sashing are awesome. They're so subtle, but they complement the blocks perfectly. This looks like it was a lot of fun to sew. Thank you for participating in the Berry Crush blog hop. Have a great day!
