Back to Basics

Back to Basics

Recently my children and I were talking about my obsession with Back to School supplies.  I am quite sad my children are all in their 20's because now I have no explanation as to why I buy a cart full of school supplies every September.  Shortly after that discussion I was in my sewing studio and came up on this lovely bundle of Michael Miller Hash Dot fabrics, it reminded me of a box of Crayons.


I took a selection of my favorite colors, and chose the black Hash Dot for a background fabric to make those colors pop.  And I had just the perfect pattern, Between Friends.


The black background just make those colors pot so beautifully.  I make so many quilts with various prints but sometimes it just fun to do something with semi solids.  My only regret now is that I did not make it bigger!  However I think my new granddaughter Palmer at just 5 days old likes it just as it is.


Pattern is my "Between Friends"
Fabric is "Hash Dot" from Michael Miller Fabrics
