A splash of colour

I recently discovered The village haberdashery which stocks the most gorgeous fabrics and delivers super quickly which for someone as impatient for new fabrics as myself is a big deal!



 
I'm collecting together fabrics for a new quilt to go in our new living room. I like the idea of always having something close to hand to snuggle under on the sofa. I'm planning the decor in our new place to be light and bright with lots of splashes of vivid colour so I've chosen these shades of orange, fuschia, and mustard and olive, I'll add to them a deep blue and some black and white.

I'm going to try something different patchwork - wise too. I visited a patchwork exhibition today which was full of gorgeous quilts and plenty of inspiration. I usually stick to squares because they're easy and because I like the simplicity of the design but I want to try a log cabin design as a bit of a challenge. Watch this space...! :)
