Field Trips in Fiber - Adventures in quilting, hand dyed fabric and fiber art.

Fabric Palette of the Month - Blue Iris

Blue Iris Fabric Palette

available February 15 - March 14

The February fabric palette was inspired by our need for Spring and this photo of a Blue Iris. For this palette I developed a 7-step Blue Iris gradient set and matching gradient yardage. I added 2 darker blues, a yellow, a bright gold and a texture to compliment the bright blue gradient fabrics. Throughout the month I will share some Electric Quilt images and projects using this palette.

Details about the Palette of the Month. Each of the palette fabrics are available for a special price of $15/yard (below the normal $18/yard price for my hand dyed fabrics). You can purchase any mix of colors and any amount of fabric in 1/4 yard increments. The minimum total order is 1 yard but that can be in 4 fat quarters. 1/4 yard orders will be made as fat quarters unless otherwise specified.

All fabrics are dyed when ordered so please allow 2 weeks for delivery. Most orders will be turned around in a few days. 

Shipping will be USPS Flat Rate Envelope rates for up to 7 yards and USPS Medium Flat Rate Box rates for amounts over 7 yards.

To order, Email me or leave a comment on this post with the fabrics you want and the amounts. I will create an Etsy invoice for your fabrics.

The fabrics! Click on the images to see a larger photo.

Color Palette - Peacock Feather

I haven't posted a color palette in a while. This great photo comes from Angela.  As with all of my photos and color palettes, please do not use them without permission. These color palettes require my permission and the permission of the photo owner.

I made this one up on a Giant Dahlia block

Color Palette - Seaweed

I saw this photo (and others that you will see later) on Angelcat's blog. She lives in the UK and has been sharing a lot of photos from a trip to Brownsea. This is one of my favorite color palettes that I've done.

 

I used this one on a block called Sara's Star.

Color Palette - Peach Blossoms

Last year a late frost killed our peach tree blossoms before they fully bloomed. This year the bees are busy and we should get some fruit. Until then, here's a color palette from the peach blossoms.

 

I created two quilts layouts using the Pole Star block.

 

Color Palette - Chalk

Another great photo from Gabi!

Some day I am going to come back to this one and play with it some more. It has so many possibilities!

For now, here are some blocks using the Tulip Basket block.
