Welcome to 2024! I'm kicking off the new year with a brand new Fabric Refresh blog post. There are so many great fabric collections coming up this year and I hope I can keep up and share my refreshed patterns with you!

Today's featured fabric collection is already available and has been for a bit. It seems to still be fairly easy to find though. It's Sharon Holland's Juniper collection for Art Gallery Fabrics. 

This collection has a very cozy feel to it and is perfect for this time of year! Let's get right to the refreshed quilts.

The first pattern that I refreshed with Juniper is Evening Glow. I originally designed this quilt with a light background and dark accent, but as I've refreshed this quilt a few times over the years, I'm finding that I like it even better with a dark background and a light accent. 

Here I've used one of the dark green prints for the background with solid white for the accent squares. The pattern calls for 16 fat quarters but since this collection doesn't have a lot of prints, especially if you want to leave out the ones that blend in too much with the background or accent, I made this mockup as though I used 8 half yards.

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.

Hello! I'm back with my first quilt mockup post in months and I'm changing things up a bit! You may have noticed that the title of this post is missing the "Friday" at the beginning of it. And that I'm not posting this on a Friday. There have been several times over the past three years of doing my Friday Fabric Refresh posts that it would have been more convenient to post on a day other than Friday.  So I decided to drop the Friday and just call these posts Fabric Refresh. Because any day of the week is a good day to share quilt mockups!

If you're new around here, my Fabric Refresh posts are where I refresh some of my quilt patterns by mocking them up in new fabrics and share them with you! I've been quilting a long time and I lost track a long time ago of how many times I saw a pattern and was not interested until I saw it in different fabrics. Suddenly, I couldn't wait to make it! I also like to see what a quilt will look like before I make it because sometimes what I picture in my head does not match reality!

If either of the above sound like you too, hopefully these posts will give you some ideas of how you might want to use a fabric collection that you've fallen in love with. Or maybe you've found a pattern of mine that you like, but want to make it in different fabrics and aren't quite sure what it will look like. Or maybe you just like looking at pretty quilts! I know I do!

Okay, let's jump right in! Today I'm featuring Sunwashed by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics. This collection is bright, cheery, full of pretty florals, and perfect for spring! 

The first refreshed quilt that I'm sharing today is Scrappy Herringbone which is a layer cake pattern. This is a great pattern if you want to avoid background fabric. It's also great if you have a fabric collection that has a lot of prints that match what you would use as a background fabric and you don't want to leave them out of your quilt. With this pattern, pretty much anything goes and you can use all the fabrics! Depending on which size quilt you choose from the pattern, you'll be using all or almost all of your layer cake squares so there is very little waste!

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 - 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!

Friday Fabric Refresh - Strawberry Honey

Happy Friday!  Another Friday means another edition of Friday Fabric Refresh!  Have you seen the Strawberry Honey collection from Gracey Larson for Riley Blake Designs?  It is so bright and cheery!  There are pretty florals, cute strawberries, and adorable bears.  

I've been buying way too much fabric lately, but I gave in and got a fat quarter bundle.  I haven't decided for sure what I want to make yet, but I'm leaning towards remaking my Starry Skies pattern, shown below.
