Fabric Refresh - Hey Boo by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics

I'm sure you've heard of Christmas in July, but what about Halloween in April? That might not be a thing but a super fun Halloween collection has just started arriving in quilt shops and I think it's going to be a really popular one! I was excited for Lella Boutique's Hey Boo collection for Moda Fabrics from the moment it was first debuted several months ago. It's finally here and if you like it as much as I do, make sure you run to your favorite quilt shop and grab some because I'm pretty sure it won't be around for long!

If you love this fabric, but need some ideas for what to make with it, I've got you covered! Keep reading to check out some of my quilt patterns that I've refreshed with Hey Boo!

Fabric Refresh - Willow by 1 Canoe 2 for Moda Fabrics

Moda designer 1 Canoe 2 has a new fabric collection out now called Willow. If January is giving you the winter blahs, the Willow collection might be just what you need! The colors are so rich and saturated and these fabrics make me think of a summertime getaway.

I knew as soon as I saw this collection that I needed to refresh some of my patterns with Willow. I'm excited to share them with you today. Let's jump right in!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Elixir by Melody Miller for Ruby Star Society

Happy Friday! I'm back with another edition of Friday Fabric Refresh, where I refresh some of my quilt patterns in new fabric so that you can hopefully be inspired and be confident in your fabric choices.

I'm featuring another Ruby Star Society collection today (in case you couldn't tell, I kind of have a thing for Ruby Star fabrics these days!)  I have liked Melody Miller's Elixir collection since it was first announced.  This fabric recently arrived to quilt shops and I think it was originally supposed to be released in March so the wait has felt like an eternity!  I'm trying really hard to resist buying this fabric because I have too much fabric already but it's sooo tempting!  I'm hoping to get my fix with these digital quilts.

The first pattern that I have refreshed today is Besotted which is a fun and easy chain quilt.  The pattern is written for a layer cake.  However, there are a lot of very dark fabrics in this collection and I didn't want my main block fabrics to blend in with the chain fabric.  Instead, I chose 12 of my favorite prints and used each for three blocks.  If you decide to use fat quarters to make this quilt, you will be able to cut enough pieces from each fat quarter to make three blocks.

Friday Fabric Refresh - Spooky Darlings by Ruby Star Society

Are you a Halloween fan?  I don't really like the holiday itself.  Don't hate me!  It's just not my thing.  I don't want to dress up, I don't want to go to a costume party (or any kind of party, for that matter), and I don't want to go to a haunted house.  But for whatever reason, I LOVE Halloween fabric and quilts!  I already featured one Halloween fabric collection for Friday Fabric Refresh this year (if you missed it, you can check that out here) but I couldn't resist doing another Halloween post for Spooky Darlings by Ruby Star Society.  This line is full of pumpkins, black cats, skulls, ghosts, candy, and fancy spiderwebs with little metallic spiders!


I liked one of the refreshed quilts so much that I bought some fabric from Fat Quarter Shop and I'm going to turn it into a real quilt.  I can't wait to see if it turns out as good in real life as it looks in digital form!  If you want to see which quilt I'm making, make sure you're following me on Instagram so you don't miss it when I start sharing!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Stitched by Fig Tree

 Note:  This post contains affiliate links.  I may receive a commission if you click a link and make a purchase.

Happy Friday!  I’m back today with another edition of Friday Fabric Refresh, where I refresh some of my quilt patterns in new, fresh fabric!  Lately, I’ve been featuring a lot of what I think would be considered more “modern” fabric collections from Ruby Star Society and Art Gallery Fabrics.  While I definitely feel like my fabric style has evolved a little over the last few years, I still really love the more traditional styles like Fig Tree from Moda Fabrics.  Joanna of Fig Tree has captured that classic Fig Tree feel with her latest collection, Stitched.

This collection is so pretty and is perfect is you’re looking to make a cheery quilt.  The first quilt that I have refreshed is Stay Square.  This is a fast and fun layer cake quilt that really lets the fabric shine!  For the accent, I used one of the Bella Solids that coordinates with Stitched called Latte (Bella 9900-245).

Friday Fabric Refresh - Tarrytown by Ruby Star Society

Happy Friday! I'm sure you've heard the saying that good things come to those who wait.  Well, that's certainly true this week!  Ruby Star Society's Tarrytown collection by Kimberly Kight is finally showing up in shops.  This collection was originally scheduled to arrive in May so it has been a long six month wait that is finally over!

I'm not usually a big purple and pink person, but something about this fabric collection has really appealed to me since I first saw it.  The purples and pinks, plus the navy blues are so pretty!  I've been having fun this week refreshing some of my quilt patterns with Tarrytown and I'm sharing them with you today!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Cozy Up

Happy Friday!  Have you seen the Cozy Up collection by Corey Yoder?  If you love fall, you will absolutely fall in love with this fabric!  Cozy Up began showing up in shops in the past week but I have a feeling it will go fast!  Don't wait if you want to get your hands on some.  

This week I am refreshing some of my patters in Cozy Up and I can't wait to show you!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Quilty Love Palette Picks

Hello and happy Friday!  I'm back today with another edition of Friday Fabric Refresh and this week is all about the Quilty Love Palette Picks fat quarter bundle that is a collaboration between pattern designer Emily Dennis of Quilty Love and Robert Kaufman Fabrics.  

I fell in love with this bundle as soon as Emily first announced it a few months ago.  The fabrics she chose are so colorful and happy and they look great together!  I immediately began thinking about what I would make with it!

I have already made a quilt with this bundle, but I have a separate blog post planned for that later so I'm not going to share that here (although I have shared it on Instagram if you haven't seen it already).

Of course, I had to try out this fabric in my other patterns as well!
