Fabric Refresh - Wayward Quilt

Are you ready to see some refreshed Wayward quilt mock-ups? Wayward is my new jelly roll pattern released earlier this week. If you missed that, you can read about the cover quilt HERE, about a second sample quilt and how the name came to be HERE, or about a two-color version HERE.

But if you need even more inspiration for your own Wayward quilt, this is the post for you! I picked a few of my favorite recent fabric collections and refreshed Wayward with them. Let's jump right in!

But first, I want to mention something about these mock-ups. With the way the blocks are constructed, certain fabric combinations show up together multiple times within the quilt. However, that became way too hard to keep track of when coloring these digital images so I often just randomly assigned fabrics to various patches within the quilt. It shouldn't change the overall look of the quilt, but wanted to mention that in case you try to replicate my image exactly. You won't be to match the exact fabric placements shown here.

Okay, on to the quilts! First, I played around with Bountiful Blooms, the latest collection from Sherri and Chelsi to arrive in quilt shops. 

One of the things I love about Bountiful Blooms is that it feels like a combination of summer and fall. It feels a little too bright and cheery to be a fall fabric line, but it also feels a little darker and more muted that what you might expect for a summer quilt. This is the perfect fabric collection if you're ready to shift into those cooler autumn months but aren't quite ready to say goodbye to summer yet!

Background fabric can also make a difference in how a quilt "feels." The first mock-up below has a bright white background and maybe leans more towards a summer feel.
