Fabric Style

Today we are switching things up, and instead of featuring projects using our paper collections, we are sharing projects created with our fabric collections!

Puppy Park Quilt, by Christine Ousley.

Throughout my years as a fabric designer for Bella Blvd, a quilt has been on my to-do list. Well, I finally just decided to tackle it. I didn’t make anything too fancy but looking back at it now, I think that the simple square blocks, really showcase this adorable “Puppy Park” fabric the best!

I cut each block 6” square. I used 6 different fabrics and arranged them in diagonal rows. My last picture really shows how they all look together. Then I added a border and the binding.  

As you can see, someone is very excited to have this quilt.  It’s finally starting to get a little chilly here and he was more than happy to wrap up in it for the photos.

Along with the simple design, I also used a simple quilting pattern. I stitched in the ditch along the rows and then stitched a 1/4” inside each of the blocks. I used favorite batting, Warm & Natural, for the inside. 

For the back of the quilt, I picked this cute little scene.

Here you can see the quilting a little more. Excuse the legs and hands. Thank you to my older son for helping to hold it up while I took pictures. I think that this quilt is going to make a wonderful keepsake and now I can’t wait to get started on my next one.  

Supplies:
Bella Blvd Puppy Park fabrics by Riley Blake, Warm & Natural cotton batting

Camo Wallets, by Kathy Frye.

The Military Max fabric line by Bella Blvd was perfect for these wallets. All Boy! I choose two of the camo cotton fabrics, one blue and the other black to make these wallets.  Camo is timeless for boys, besides it is camo season here (deer hunting time). I modified a pattern by Atkinson Designs, so that there is a clear ID pocket on one side and the other side is a pocket. I even used a real orange camo hunting vest as a backdrop when photographing these fun wallets.

Supplies: 
Bella Blvd Military Max fabrics by Riley Blake, thread, key ring, ribbon, clear vinyl, fusible pellon, zipper
