Introducing --- In Motion
I often talk about favorite blocks or vintage designs incorporated in my patterns. The Irish Chain is one of those favorites, however I wanted something different using a wide variety of fabrics and/or scraps.
The Motion in this design moves from right to left and uses large background pieces making the movement obvious.
Far Out! ... The Fat Quarter Shop * announced they were expecting a fabric line designed by Maureen McCormick! My excitement to make this quilt using the Blooming Bunch Fabric Line by Maureen for Moda, was off the chart. I grew up watching the Brady Bunch (as with many Baby Boomers) and felt the fabric calling me. SO GROOVY!
The smaller version of In Motion, is using a stash of Aqua/Teals/Turquoise. When I came up short on variety, I found a small shop on line called Cotton To Quilts * who sells cute little bundles by color. The Facets of Aqua / 20 fabrics 8-1/2" X 21" was perfect to fill the gaps.
* No affiliation - just a fan.
