Some times while surfing the net I find myself at different online fabric shops filling my cart with fabrics that I think go together and dreaming I had enough time and money to buy and experiment with them.  Since I don’t have all the time in the world I thought I’d post some of those fabric dreams on here.  Just in case I find time in the future. 

Today I was surfing some quilt shops and came across the fabric line A Stitch in Color by Malka Dubrawsky.  I believe she hand dyes these bright fun fabrics.  They are any but the drab colors that are outside right now.  I love the wagon wheel pattern, I want a summer purse in these fabric.  I combined Malka’s prints with the Sun Glow Jade from Amy Butler’s Lark collection.  I love that all these fabrics have circles or even sun patterns present.  That with a matching Kona Cotton in catus.  I have lots of ideas for this bunch.  I like the idea of playing up the circles in a blanket…maybe pairing these patterns with straight stitch lines.  I could see this as a very fun child’s blanket…flowers for a girl and just crazy wild blocks for a boy.  I personally would pick either the little dot clementine or the big dot pear print.  Initially I preferred the little dot clementine, but the more I look at it I think it would be fun to use the big dot pear print and then bind and possibly back the blanket in a clementine orange to off set the bit of orange in the wagon wheel print.  What are your thoughts for a group of fabrics like this one?

The photos and all the fabrics can be found at Marmalade Fabrics.  I’ve never purchased from them and I have no affiliation with them, but I do like to surf their shop and dream.
