Inspired by fashion

28 December 2011
I couldn't resist joining in with the temptress Laura at Quokka Quilts and her amazingly cool competition!

There's so much choice on the Fat Quarter Shop website it's hard to know where to start, so instead I went to the source of all wonderfulness and inspiration; Vogue and came across some Missoni!

Missoni / Spring 2012 RTW


http://www.vogue.com/collections/spring-2012-rtw/missoni/review/#/collection/runway/spring-2012-rtw/missoni/18


I had to adapt the colours so I created a slightly different palette but I love the fabric choices and the vibe the mosaic has. These fabrics suggest so much texture to me, a definite nod to Missoni :)

I had a lot of fun making my mosaic and spent FAR too long doing it!! I am loving it:


Here's the fabric details:

Flora Sunflower Feathers Yardage SKU# 25055-21, Prince Charming Coral Turtle Bay Yardage SKU# TP10-CORAL, Domestic Bliss Aqua with Cream Beaded Curtain Yardage SKU# 18077-16, French Dress Teal and Walnut Woven Texture Yardage SKU# 8629-113, Stitch Organic Gold on Brown Loop Stripe Yardage SKU# 11897-238, Lark Persimmon Souvenir Yardage SKU# PWAB68-PERSI, Happy Mochi Yum Yum Lemon India Yardage SKU# 30305-50, Impressions Teal Medallion Yardage SKU# PWTY020-TEALX, Plume Blue Feather Half Moon Yardage SKU# CM8668-BLUE, Hall of Fame Sage Game Turf Yardage SKU# DC5367-SAGE-D, Lark Cobalt Gypsy Yardage SKU# PWAB72-COBAL, Mimosa Orange Ikat Yardage SKU# STELLA-12-ORANGE, Michael Miller Watermelon Cotton Couture Solid Yardage SKU# SC5333-WATE-D, Kona Cotton Brick Yardage SKU# K001-1042, Free Spirit Designer Solids Saffron Yardage SKU# S46-SAFFRON

How incredibly wonderful my husband is, he's so amazing! For countless reasons but currently because he got me this for christmas:



Whoop whoop!! See you there?!

p.s. My cheeky sister saw the confirmation and thought he'd booked me a ticket for a fat camp! I wouldn't have been so happy about that!
