There are some great blenders in the collection. The bobby pins are a lot of fun, and the braids are gorgeous.
For the quilt design I started playing with abstract bow and knot designs. The final result was the Beehive quilt.

The design is based on 4 block designs - a large square, a small square, and two rectangles. I'm working on a pattern to post here soon!

I quilted the Beehive on my domestic machine using three motifs to highlight the piecing and the prints.

I backed and bound the quilt with Windham Fabrics Artisan Cotton in Blue Aqua. I love the look and feel of the shot cotton, and it shows the quilting beautifully.

My construction method for the square Beehive blocks left me with several half-square triangle scraps that I couldn't resist playing with a bit more. The fun resulted in this baby-sized Medallion quilt.

And I finished the back with the rest of my Good Hair Day scraps. I think I like the back better than the front!

Good Hair Day by Kim Andersson for Windham Fabrics is available in stores now.
Lovely eye catching quilt.
ReplyDeletefabricstasher24@gmail.com
thanks!
DeleteI like the back too, but I'm not sure if it's better than the front. Both are really neat in different ways.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I love having two quilts in one.
DeleteI like BOTH sides. Each is amazing in its own way.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteAwesome pattern to showcase the fun fabrics! Love the improv vibe of the backing but my fave is the front!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like it!
DeleteThis blog hop has been so cool to find new blogs....yours being one! How clever of you to call your quilt "Beehive" when using the Good Hair Day fabrics. It is gorgeous! I'm like you in that I always want to use up those pretty scraps and shapes too.
ReplyDeleteWelcome! I'm glad you found me
DeleteI really like how the use of color in your quilts gives them a different look from the others on the blog tour. Well done
ReplyDeleteThank you. I had so much fun with the Good Hair Day colors
DeleteWow, that pattern is really eye-catching! And you've chosen such wonderful colors to make it work. I love the bonus baby quilt too.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLove your back great use of leftovers..... happyness04431@yahoo.com
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI like the fabric, but your quilts make me absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The fabric was a pleasure to work with
DeleteThat pattern looks far more complicated than a small square, large square, and two rectangles. Can't wait to see more!
ReplyDeleteIt's true! But each of those shapes has four diagonal stripes. So yes, more complicated!
DeleteAwesome beehive quilt and the use of the left overs!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove the back of the quilt with your leftovers!! Great way to showcase the fabric you used!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love the back
DeleteAs usual, your quilts are beautiful and interesting. Thanks, Daniel!
ReplyDeleteThanks Julie!
DeleteDaniel-welcome back! Love what you did with the fabric line. Such a fresh design!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteIt's good to see you are still making quilts! They are both beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks! You're the winner!
DeleteBoth quilts are gorgeous. I love this line.
ReplyDeleteThank you! What are your plans for this line?
DeleteGreat quilt! Thank you for sharing. I love the combination of the blue, orange, and yellow, too. Sometimes the pieced backs are even more interesting than the tops.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I love a scrappy pieced back!
DeleteGreat quilt! Love the colors you used.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove love love this quilt! The pattern is beautiful and the colors are perfection.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much!
DeleteBeautiful quilt! Thanks for the chance.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI love the quilt. I can't wait to see the pattern. This fabric looks like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIt will be a very fortunate baby who lounges on that quilt. And can you imagine how gorgeous the photos will be?
ReplyDeleteAnd every quilt looks better with a baby on it!
DeleteWhat a wonderful quilt! I love the pattern!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance to win this lovely fabric!
Thanks!
DeleteI love the fabric and the quilt. It's georgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteI`d love the charm pack but I guess it would be too much hassle to send overseas. So who ever get's it - enjoy! Martina
Thank you!
DeleteI love that the quilt is not only very modern but reversible. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love two-sided quilts!
DeleteBeautiful quilts. This collection is bright and fun.

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteSuper cute quilts. I love the back of the baby quilt too!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLove this quilt! Thanks for hosting a giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI was initially drawn to the pinks and purples in this line, but your post is changing my mind. I like the palette you chose for the quilts!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love what other people are doing with the pinks and purples too
DeleteThanks for the closeup of the braid fabric. It does have great texture. Would like to see the front of the quilt unfurled. Thanks for sharing what you did with the fabric.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'll have some flat pics and diagrams when I finish the pattern.
DeleteBlue, yellow and orange is one of my favorite colour combinations and it looks wonderful in the Beehive quilt (and in the baby quilt, too). To my eye, there is (perhaps) an optical illusion going on with the first photo, as I see whirligigs or windmills, or maybe kites, so I will be interested to see the pattern when you post it. I would love to win the charm pack. Thanks, Betty
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you see some movement in the design! Thanks
DeleteFabulous - I love the quilt back!!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteGreat to see good quilting done on a domestic machine. proves that you don't have to have a longarm, thanks!
ReplyDeleteIt takes work and practice, but you can do some amazing quilting with a domestic machine
Delete"Good Hair Day" is a very cute fabric line! I can see tons of potential projects!!!
ReplyDeleteDo you have any projects planned?
DeleteI love this fabric line and I love the quilt you made with it! Thanks!

ReplyDeletenikilsend(at)outlook(dot)com
Thank you! Kim's fabric was fun to work with :)
DeleteNever made a quilt, but doesn't seem intimidating on your blog! Would love to try, maybe a small one....
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's a good idea to start small, but most importantly, START!
DeleteLove the baby quilt. It's definitely a two-sided quilt! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
ReplyDeletekakingsbury at verizon dot net
Thank you!
DeleteI love how you mix up your blocks. I have not been creative enough to do that yet...Thank you for the chance!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteOMG! I can't believe this is the same pattern you have post on flickr 3 years ago. It was two colors then and now what a beauty. I have made red grey variant, but fall in love with this idea. I will give a try with more than 2 colors. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks! This was actually my second go at it last year. The first was this giant red and cream baby that's still waiting for quilting. https://www.instagram.com/p/45kUX1kR2i/
DeleteSo amazing that you made 2 Quilts! Fun fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteLove the Beehive Quilt! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteSuch a beautiful bright quilt! I have only just discovered your blog, I am a new quilter and have recently started playing with paper piecing. Your posts make great reading! Thanks for the giveaway :) emily(dot)hurt(at)btopenworld (dot)com

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love this. The colours and designs go perfectly together. X

I like the FMQ on your Beehive quilt, but I adore the medallion baby quilt! What an amazing use of scraps!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I love how this line has such a range from soft and neutral to bold! Sarah: crjandsbj(at)netzero(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI would love the braids too!!! This fabric is fun and fresh.
ReplyDeletedebbygrawn@yahoo.com
amazing work, as always. I love when I see fabrics that might not have immediately grabbed my eye being used in such a way that I can't look away.
