The dictionary defines "chickadee" as a North American titmouse with a distinctive black cap and throat (and no, it's not a tiny mouse, but a bird). If you look up a picture, it's a cheerful little gray bird with large dark eyes. Cute! But....the common slang use of "chickadee" is a pet name for somone you love. So really, no matter how you look at it, it is bright, cheerful, hopeful! And that's exactly what quilty pal Heidi Pridemore's (of The Whimsical Workshop) newest Signature Line with Island Batik is - cheerful and fun!
Look at those fun playful colors! It inspires, doesn't it?! And even better - not only can you get these luscious colors in yardage, but also in precuts - 10" square sets (stacks) and 2 1/2" strip sets (strips)! It is those precuts that inspired my most recent project recolor.
Here is Juxtapostion, using one 10" stack and two classic colors that pair with a rainbow range - black and white (sprinkles to be precise). Quilts that use precuts are so much quicker to make! You have less cutting to do (thanks to the precuts) and you get to work with LOTS of colors and fabrics without the stress of trying to pull them together. It's already done for you!
Ready to try it out for yourself? You can grab a copy of Juxtaposition by clicking the link below. AND just for you - and to celebrate Heidi's glorious new line - you can take 15% off a copy using the code CHICKADEE. But hurry! This special deal is only good through Friday, February 17th!
Love the idea of precuts - a lot??!! Jester is right up your alley then! It uses a 10" square set AND a 2 1/2" strip set, plus a background and an accent color, in this case Sprinkles and Ice (two Island Batik basics). And yes, you can grab a copy on my website AND get 15% off with the code CHICKADEE. The coupon expires Friday, February 17th. Click the link below to shop!
