Information on Fabrics Used In Recent Posts For Quilts Made With the Cat’s Cradle Rulers

Some of you are asking for fabric information on the fabrics I used in the last posts.

To remind, here is a picture of the first quilt:

And of the second with the “tree” backing:

The fall squash print backing on the first quilt is a VERY old Kaffee Fassett print that has been hanging out in my stash for at least 25 years. It never got used as I never had the right colors on a top for it–and they are dramatic colors. Someone might be able to find it online at the Kaffee Fasset site????

The tree print on the second quilt is 2265 Clara’s Garden Trees @Makower UK. I’ve had that piece of fabric for some time as well but not as long as the Kaffee Fasset print.

Here is a list of the 11 Kona solids I am using for the three quilts underway:

Tarragon, Peach, Mango, Burgundy, Sienna, Brick, Banana, Butterscotch, Espresso, Mocha, Khaki

I basically took the Kaffee Fasset print and tried to use those colors when I started this project–which became a series of three quilts. These colors remind me of the earth, of growing things in rich soil, of green grass, of golden sunlight, and so on.

Thanks to all for your interest.
