Fandangle Fabric Blog Hop ➕ Giveaway

I was so honored when Christa Watson of Christa Quilts asked me to take part in the blog hop for her latest fabric line, Fandangle, from Benartex and Contempo Studio.

How could you not love lime green paired with turquoise and teal.  I thought the Beaded Curtain low volume white and aqua would be the perfect background for Crosshatch Crosshatch in teal.


Since I love machine applique, I decided to use the Cute as a Button applique pattern from Modern Plus Sign Quilts and made a mini quilt to hang in my sewing room.  And so you'll know, Aurifil 4182 in dark turquoise matched the Confetti Crosshatch in teal perfectly.


Beaded Curtain is one of my favorites from Christa's Fandangle fabric.


I'm also very fond of the Confetti Crosshatch.  Pictured here is the teal used in the Cute as a Button applique and light grey Confetti Crosshatch, but it also comes in a dark gray.


The fun triangle prints are Triangle Trinkets and are pictured here with the Confetti Crosshatch.


You can see the scale of the print compared to the large spool of Aurifil.


I used the same Confetti Crosshatch in teal for the bias binding and the Triangle Trinkets in teal as the backing.


For the quilting, I attempted something similar to what Christa calls a 'jagged stipple'.  See her Fandangle introductory post with mention of jagged stipple.




I outlined the applique by quilting close to the applique on inside of the plus signs and around the outside of the circles.


Speaking of jagged stipple, the Paper Cuts print was inspired from Christa's jagged stipple quilting.  And here also is the main print, Baubles and Bits.  I just love the mid-century modern vibe going on in this print.

   
How fun to see Christ's name in print on the selvage of the the Baubles and Bits.


Continuing the theme of the main print is Sparkling Squares.


And, here are a couple more photos of the mini I'm calling Fandangle Button Plus.



Fandangle Button Plus looks a little lost on the large brick wall.


I've only showed you the cool colorway, but Fandangle also comes in warm colors too.


Here are all the prints together taken from the Benartex lookbook.


You haven't seen the last of Fandangle around here because, I'll be making another version of the Modern Plus Sampler from Fandangle, compliments of Benartex.

  8. I really love these beautiful fabrics. They are colorriffic, vibrantly radiantly sassy and super fantastic artistically designed for both genders. Very happy for crafty chic that wants to make a comfy quilt for her buddy Peter that is terminally Ill with Cancer. 😢 but he doesn't know that yet.
