It's Day 3 of Fabric Refresh Week and I can hardly believe it's halfway over already! So far we've been inspired by Tula Pink's Everglow and AGF Studio's Spooky 'n Witchy. Have you been remembering to use the coupon codes to save on the featured patterns each day? They're only good for a couple of days so if you missed out on the first two, make sure to keep reading so that you don't miss today's code!
Today I'm featuring a collection with a much more traditional feel to it. You might know Camille Roskelley as one half of the mother-daughter team behind the super popular Bonnie and Camille fabrics from Moda Fabrics. Since Bonnie has retired, Camille has been continuing on her own and I fell in love with her Sunnyside collection as soon as she first debuted it (it was the burgundy prints that got me!) and then had to wait months for it be available!
Well, it's finally here and I already grabbed some for a couple of future pattern samples. You'll have to wait a while to see those but you should grab some Sunnyside fabric now and if you need some ideas of what to make with it, this is the blog post for you!
The first pattern that I refreshed in Sunnyside was Americana. I love star quilts and while the pattern was named for the reds and blues used in the original cover quilt, this pattern looks great in a variety of fabrics and I love it in Sunnyside. These colors together make me think of a beautiful garden. This pattern uses 18 fat quarters so you can pick a wide variety of colors and prints to make a very colorful and scrappy-looking quilt.
Next up is Evening Glow, another fat quarter friendly pattern. You can actually use a combination of a layer cake and two charm packs to make this, but I stuck with the fat quarter option when making this mock-up.
I really wanted to use the navy background and if I used precuts, I don't think I would have had enough pieces without needing to use navy ones that would have blended in too much. Even the prints on white backgrounds might have blended in with the white accent too much. I was able to pick 16 of my favorite prints that contrasted well with both the navy and white and I love how it turned out!
Shining Stars also uses fat quarters and since you only need 11 fat quarters, you have more chances to create some pretty color combinations. I'm sharing two here. The first version uses one of the lighter blue prints as the background and is offset by a colorful variety of colors for the stars.
The second version has a light pink background and I used a more limited color palette for the stars by focusing on mostly the burgundy, dark green, and navy prints.
I have one more fat quarter quilt to share before I move on to a couple of jelly roll patterns. Starry Skies is a great pattern if you like star quilts and chain quilts. Both seem to be popular and this pattern combines the two into one great quilt! I used a navy print for the chains.
The next refreshed pattern is Ophelia. I know I said that I was done with fat quarter quilts for today and this pattern does have a fat quarter option, but it's also a jelly roll pattern and that's what I pretended I was using when refreshing this quilt with Sunnyside. Moda Fabrics was the original creator of the precuts, after all. You might as well take advantage of those precuts when you can and cut down on your cutting!
You can use any color you'd like for the cornerstones in this quilt. For this mock-up, I went with a dark green print.
Before I get to the final quilt for today's Fabric Refresh post, I need to give you the coupon code for today's featured patterns. Use code SUNNY20 for the next two days to save 20% on all of the patterns mentioned in this post. Don’t wait because this code expires tomorrow at midnight (evening of Thursday, June 8th at midnight Central time).
Okay, now for the final quilt for today's Sunnyside Fabric Refresh post. Window Box is another jelly roll quilt and one of my more popular patterns. This is a quick quilt that is a great option for a newer quilter. It uses less strips from a jelly roll than Ophelia does so this is a good option if you want to be able to leave out some of your least favorite prints.
That's all for today! If you want to grab any of these patterns to use with Sunnyside or another fabric, make sure to use the coupon code I mentioned earlier as soon as possible before it expires. It will be good until tomorrow night, Thursday June 8th at midnight Central time.
