On Friday I mentioned that I was itching to get to our solids and blenders shelf and organize it. Well today I managed to do just that, and I am thrilled about it, that section of the store now looks so much neater!
Our solids now take up almost one full side of the unit, and I think there is pretty much every color of the rainbow represented. The vast majority of them are Kona Solids by Robert Kaufman, and Bella Solids by Moda.
If I had to choose one over the other I personally prefer to work with the Bella Solids, I find them to be a better quality and easier to sew with. That being said I use both quite frequently.
After barcoding, pinning and organizing these bolts today I have the urge to make a solids quilt. I have never actually done a quilt using only solids but that will change in the near future. Have you done any quilts using just solids?
Robert Kaufman has a whole section of patterns on their website devoted to Solids, some of these really caught my attention and I may end up making some kits using them next week if time permits.
Accuquilt has also done up several projects using solids and their various dies. If you have an accuquilt check the projects out on their website. If you need a certain die, remember that we carry a wide variety of the dies and we can order any of them and have them in store for you ion about two weeks. We also carry the machines if you are interested in purchasing one.
I am also curious to see if anyone is interested in joining a quilt along run through the blog? Whether it follows a more difficult pattern, a book full of blocks, or a seasonal wall hanging or table runner. Let me know and I will put something together.
