I did not instantly fall in love with Piece N Quilt's line of fabric called Thrive. It wasn't until I saw the fabric in person that I did fall in love, the colors and prints made me feel like I was walking into a day spa, so soothing and peaceful.
I normally don't use the low volume prints included in a family of fabric. I have a stack of these type of prints that I've pulled from families of fabric that are currently collecting dust on my shelves. But I like the low volume prints in this family and decided to use them all, scrappy background, defiantly a change of pace for me.
Once I started playing around with the hsts I decided I liked the look of a smaller hst and went with 3" instead of the 4 1/4" blocks in the pattern.
This is Lifetime Quilt Number 224
I've named it Spa Day
It finished at 60" x 60"
The pattern is Authentic Etc Ocean Waves by Moda (click here for free pattern)
The fabric is Thrive by Quilt N Piece for Moda
It has approximately 972 pieces
Next up, I'm playing with that bright and happy Harmony fabric by Sweetwater. I've narrowed my Harmony project down to two patterns, but am thinking if I use my fabric wisely maybe I can piece them both. It is still dreary and cold here and we have a chance for snow again this week, I've given up on thinking Spring will ever arrive, accept in my sewing room.
