As I previewed two weeks ago, I am working with the Bazaar collection this time around:
This collection has a tropical feel! I love that many of the prints have orange featured!
I decided that I wanted to turn my half yards of this fabric into a queen sized quilt using our Dashing to the Chapel pattern (available on Etsy and PayHip!)
I used ten slightly larger scale prints (and the rainbow batiks) for the larger church dash blocks, and used six smaller scale prints for the medium and small churn dash blocks. I used an oatmeal blender for my background fabric. Once the quilt center was assembled. I used a turquoise blender batik for the small border. Instead of using wide strips for the outermost border, I used squares of the various pink, orange, and rainbow prints to finish the quilt.
The quilt was long arm quilted by Fran of Twin Stitches using a pantograph called "Dazzle." I used three different yellow fabrics from the collection for the binding.
I love how this quilt sparkles with these Island Batiks!
The cold and snow impeded some of my plans for pictures, but I was able to snap a few once the sun came out today!
Two of my fellow IB Ambassadors also have shared projects featuring Bazaar today:
Karen @ The Quilt Rambler
Turid @ Den syende himmel
Now for a little giveaway! Don't forget to enter Island Batik's fat quarter bundle giveaway too!
I am giving away a bundle of Bazaar fabrics, cut into 2.5" strips and 4.5" squares, to one lucky winner. This giveaway will stay open until Sunday, February 3rd. (The giveaway is now closed and the winner is noted below!)

Your quilt is beautiful. Love the shots against a snowy background.

Hi Alison! I saw the Bazaar fabric on Karen's website too, and it is just gorgeous. Your quilt is fabulous, plus it features the churn dash - my new favorite block. I follow so many IBAers - and you all offered so many varied and creative, fun ideas as the year end wrap up hop. It's hard to pick a favorite, but I'm kind of partial to that daisy print. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love all the churn dashes and all the fabrics showcased! Great photos too!

ReplyDeleteSo far I have visited ALL of the blogs. Making my rounds from last week as I missed those. But will get to them today! Thanks for the opportunity to win!
ReplyDeleteIn truth, I am not a churn-dash enthusiast. I don't know what it is, but churn dashes bug me. Your design, though, gives new life to the boring old churn dash! I could have some serious fun playing with value and color in that quilt design. What a great finish!
ReplyDeleteThe pink paisley is especially pretty.
