The collection offers a fun and modern mix with loads of color! When I first saw the collection I felt it had a funky retro vibe to it. Which drew me in and got my wheels spinning!
 |
| REVIVING RETRO 37" x 48" |
These are 22 different prints in the collection, I only used 13 along with white and grey solids! The prints in row two, Blocks, is where I got the retro vibe from. They would make the perfect center squares for the block.
 |
| GRECIAN SQUARE 9" BLOCK |
I like how the graphic Sketch Gray frames the centers. I added 2" sashing and a 3" border in Gridwork Red. It adds a big pop of color without over powering the other prints.
I quilting the center blocks using different widths of straight lines in grey (surprise!), depending on which way the lines are going in the 'Block' print. Again, straight lines in the sashing and border using red thread.
I used more Gridwork Red for the binding and really like the look of the white corner squares framed by the skinny binding. The fabric feels amazing, by the way! The 'proof in the pudding' as they say, has to be the ease in which the needle glide through the fabric while had stitching the binding to the back. Like butter!
It makes for a pretty package don't you think?! Which brings me to the giveaway! Who would like to receive a pretty fat quarter package all their own?!
Benartex is generously donation a bundle of 8-10 prints from the Printology collection to one lucky person!

ReplyDeleteHi Jayne,
ReplyDeleteI receive Sew In Love's emails and didn't realize it was your quilt I was admiring! And thank you for showing a good closeup of the fabric because those little squares just don't sell it for me. Your first block, Grecian Square, I just adore! WOWEE! That fabric is so cute - I definitely want it. All the red sashing looks so great - I'm drooling over the whole thing. Really nice! ~smile~ Roseanne
Very beautiful and interesting quilt with all the different prints. I like many quilt blocks, hard to say just one.
ReplyDeleteI really like your choice of fabrics for this quilt. I think there is an art deco vibe to some of the prints in this collection. One of my favorite classic blocks is churn dash. mfhagopian@aol.com

ReplyDeleteWow! Your quilt is really beautiful. I love it. My favorite block is the Dresden Plate. Thank you for the giveaway.

ReplyDeletemy favorite block is the friendship star. thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first year I have ever paid any attention to using grey fabric in a quilt. Yet, I have fallen in love with it and the grey you chose for the blocks in this great quilt really pops with the red and white. On top of making the fabrics inside look so much brighter. The sashing red fabric is perfect! This is a fantastic quilt; I wish I could pair fabrics like this. Thank you for sharing your fabulous quilt with us. My favorite quilt block is the Jacobs Ladder Block which I also just discovered this year. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI love making any star blocks!! Oh, and sampler quilts !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt!! My fav block would be the churn dash - so versatile - you can squeeze it and elongate it and add all sorts of variations! mumbird3atgmaildotcom
ReplyDeleteI love these blocks. And the printology fabric is beautiful. My favorite block is the Ohio star.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is outstanding! I still favor the nine patch block.
ReplyDeletenikilsend(at)outlook(dot)com
Great quilt and thank you for the details. I really don't have a favourite retro block.

ReplyDeleteLove that red sashing!!! Hard to pick a favourite classic block, but when pushed I’d say the Ohio Star! Who doesn’t love a star block?
ReplyDeleteAlthough I struggle with making them even, I love Flying Geese. They make great stars and can add movement and whimsy to a quilt.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway opportunity!
These days I am all about the Nine Patch and its variations. I've been making what I think of as "Pioneer Quilts" and I'm crazy about their simple charm.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! My favorite classic block is the Churn Dash.
ReplyDeleteI guess the Nine Patch, but lately I've been looking for any block that can nicely incorporate hand embroidery. Love your design!

ReplyDeleteIf Ireally have to choose a block, I would say pinwheel...
ReplyDeleteAnother great finish. Well done. This is a great fabric collection.
ReplyDeleteGreat design for those fabrics Jayne. My favorite block is probably a churn dash. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI can't think of my favorite block. There are so many classics I am still finding. I have a book I bought in the 80's that contained over 100 blocks. Since then I haven't even made 35 of them and more are designed+shared everyday on the web+in print. *How about I say my favorite is the one I'm currently working on, which will chg day to day, maybe more often. **Thanks for hosting this giveaway. Love the fabric!!! robinsbusiness@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteThis my 323rd try to post this comment. I'll keep it short. First I liked the 2 quilts you shared on your blog, both very good and very different which shows the fabric's versatility. Benartex has always shown good easy to use fabric. I've used it over 30yr. I Love the word Printology, the science of prints! How you combined old & new patterns is amazing with the colors people want now but can also be used in 10+yr. You are very talented to be able to create this collection. I can only imagine the time for research, drawing,etc. How do you choose which color, which hue, and on and on. I love it all!!! I would love the entire grouping since that is the only way I would trust myself to mix so many prints. Thank you for sharing this incredible collection. Thanks also to Benartex. Just in case:

Favorite classic block? That’s a poser. I don’t think I have one thigh fwiw I can say that I don’t like Star blocks. They all scream county to me, no mater the fabric.
ReplyDeleteLove to make the 9 patch in different variations.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilt! I really like the red sashing and how it plays with the blocks. One of my favorite classic blocks is the Ohio Star.
