Happy Fabric Palette Friday! After I posted the reveal of Emaline, my newest quilt pattern, I couldn’t help but highlight the fabric palette I used for it because it’s just too good.

In this Fabric Palette Friday, I dove into my scrap bin for a palette that makes me think of a gentle summer dusk, with the sky turning every shade of calming blues, pinks, and purples.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! I’ve had Halloween on the brain recently, and when I grabbed this fabulous gum print from Ruby Star Society’s Spooky Darlings fabric collection, I found myself pulling a whole palette of colors and textures to play along with it. I wouldn’t call it Halloween exactly, but it’s a delightful rainbow of fabric goodness that’s just right for this transitional time from summer to fall.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! This week’s palette is just plain sweet, and I’m all here for it. Rifle Paper Co. creates the best inspiration prints because they frequently have unique color schemes, they include a lot of colors, and the print scale is often small, which means the inspiration print itself is easier to incorporate in the final product. This time, I started with the Rifle Paper Co. tea-party print from their Alice in Wonderland-inspired collection.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! This week, I tried to take the palette in a new direction, stretching beyond some of my normal go-to colors. I started with the pink and green Rifle Paper Co. floral as my inspiration print. I love the unusual greens in the print and tried to pull some of them out.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! With the Fourth of July holiday coming up this weekend in the U.S., I thought I’d reach back a bit to a palette that makes me think of my favorite blue jeans mixed with just a hint of patriotism and vintage Americana.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! You might think I started this palette with the floral canvas print on top, but it actually started with a small stack of Essex yarn-dyed linens. I keep my woven fabrics stored separately from my prints, and as I sorted through the yarn-dyeds, the canvas print caught my eye and clearly needed to be thrown into the mix.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! This week, I was feeling a simply solids palette, so I headed to my solids stash (I keep them separate from prints — what about you?) and just started pulling colors. My original intention was to stray from my normal color palette, but I’m not sure I strayed very far. What can I say? We like what we like.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! Over on the ‘gram, I revealed my latest handwork project today, and I thought it might be fun to use the quilt’s fabric scheme for today’s palette. At my brother’s request, I designed the quilt based on the cover art of Sturgill Simpson’s “High Top Mountain” album. I wanted to recreate not only the color scheme (brightened up just a bit) but also the feel of the prints used in the art, so I played around for a long time auditioning what seemed like every piece of fabric in my stash.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! This week, I started off by pulling out that fabulous OG Cotton + Steel squirrel print. Their tales and cheeks include this wonderful purply gray blue that I can’t get enough of and which, despite what this bundle might make it look like, is actually pretty hard to find in the fabric world.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! This week, I thought we’d go all solids in a palette that would be as at home in a Valentine’s quilt as in a floral spring quilt or an early fall, cozy-up-on-the-couch quilt. It’s sweet but not saccharine, comforting but not dull, classic but with a modern feel. I’m calling it Mauvelous.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! Using inspiration prints for their colors alone is a great way to create a palette. I purchased this Scandinavia-inspired print back in the fall and knew the colors would make a great bundle, so I headed straight to my solids.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! I probably say this a lot, but this is one of my favorite bundles. I named it Spring Melon because, on one hand, it makes me think of honeydew and cantaloupe, but really, it’s like a drippy popsicle on a summer day — sweet, joyful, and uplifting.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! This bundle is giving me all the fun summer feels today. As in past weeks, this one began with an inspiration fabric — those wonderful soda bottles by Rashida Coleman-Hale. It ended up leading to another rainbow stack, but a quirkier one that eschewed primary colors for brighter jewel tones.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! Since last week went blue, it only seemed right to pivot to the other side of the color spectrum with a cozy, warm palette. This palette began with a few Essex linens, which fell into the middle of the array. They were very saturated and dense, so I wanted to lighten things up with some lighter prints, as well as a few more light linens.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! It feels like we’ve had a number of iterations of the rainbow theme recently, so this week, I thought I’d zero in on (mostly) a single color — my favorite color — blue. Honestly, this palette started in a totally different direction, but it wanted to take me somewhere else, and I listened.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! Expanding on last week’s chat about building on an inspiration color, this week’s palette was built from an inspiration print. This is such an easy way to build a palette and a wonderful way for newbies who aren’t confident in their color sense to get started. I began with the fabulous flower print from Rifle Paper Co.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! Today’s palette is a lesson in building on an inspiration fabric or color. I am a huge fan of this fabulous blue-gray color that’s been very popular in fabrics the last few years. But how do I make a palette out of one color?

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! Shortly after I came home from QuiltCon, I started working on a simple quilt design that needed just the right fabric to elevate it to the look I was going for. This week’s palette is that fabric.

Happy Fabric Palette Friday! For this week’s pattern, we’re headed to the wayback machine, pulling out a palette I created for a sew along several years ago but sadly never used. It may be one of my favorites ever, and it’s a darn shame it hasn’t made it into a very happy project yet. I may have to find a way to remedy that very soon.
