For awhile I have been working on adding
fabric design to my repertoire.
(I try to use fancy words sometimes.)
Anyone who is familiar with my quilting style
knows that I pretty much suck at piecing.
Like bad.
So, I tend to just skip that all together and stick with what I know,
quilting.
Am I the only one out there who loves quilting
and isn’t great at piecing?
Anyway…
My ultimate dream is to design fabric, quilt patterns,
and digital quilting designs.
Then I thought,
“Why not use the power of technology to find a way to skip the piecing,
but still makes quilts that look like they are pieced.”
Oh duh. That already exists-
fabric panels.
The hard part is finding cute modern designs that I like.
So,
I thought I would just design my own.
I was hoping I could share some of my latest work here
and get some criticism.
…hopefully constructive criticism,
but hey,
a girl will take what she can get.
So, check these out and let me know what you think.
They are designed to be 36″ x 56″
(about the size of a crib quilt or good sized wall-hanging.)
What do you think?
Be great to each other.

I especially love the gray/citron one, it’s a great design. Do you print on Spoonflower or Modern Yardage? This is a great idea. I enjoy piecing my own designs, but that takes away from quilting time!
Thank you Vera! That means a lot to me. 🙂 I love your blog! 🙂
I like geometric designs and hexies. So these look good to me. Plus pretty colorful too. Thanks for dropping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment. You appear as no-reply so I leave an answer for you here 🙂 I have Brother NV350.
the colours and designs are beautiful. But is it just me, or are these designs that have not yet been applied to fabric? I’d love to see the richness of colour as it combines with the tactile effect of fabric. Keep up the good work. Each person has her own strengths, and it’s a good thing when she develops and grows
in that direction.
Thank you so much! You are right, as of right now the designs are conceptual and haven’t been produced in fabric form, but that was the sole purpose for creating them.
I think they are beautiful!
