Albion by Amy Smart is a fabric collection that caught my eye a few months ago. This fabric from Riley Blake Designs is now showing up in quilt shops so this is the perfect time to share some of my quilt patterns that I refreshed with Albion fabrics.

The first pattern that I refreshed is Log Jam and this might be my favorite Albion mockup! I love this extra scrappy version with a variety of low volumes for the background instead of a single fabric.

Fabric Refresh - Hey Boo by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics

I'm sure you've heard of Christmas in July, but what about Halloween in April? That might not be a thing but a super fun Halloween collection has just started arriving in quilt shops and I think it's going to be a really popular one! I was excited for Lella Boutique's Hey Boo collection for Moda Fabrics from the moment it was first debuted several months ago. It's finally here and if you like it as much as I do, make sure you run to your favorite quilt shop and grab some because I'm pretty sure it won't be around for long!

If you love this fabric, but need some ideas for what to make with it, I've got you covered! Keep reading to check out some of my quilt patterns that I've refreshed with Hey Boo!

Fabric Refresh - Flower Girl by My Sew Quilty Life for Moda Fabrics

I'm back with another Fabric Refresh blog post and this one is slightly different than usual. I normally don't feature a fabric collection that isn't available in shops yet. However, today I'm featuring a gorgeous collection by Heather Briggs of My Sew Quilty Life called Flower Girl. This debut collection is scheduled to arrive in shops this month, but as far as I can tell, it has not yet.

So why I am sharing the patterns I've refreshed in Flower Girl now? Well, I get Heather's newsletter and she mentioned a couple weeks ago that she has heard from some shops that they're already selling out. Since the fabric isn't in shops yet, I'm guessing that they are selling out with preorders. I'm sure there will be shops who don't do preorders who will have it available once it starts shipping to shops, but I figured if you get inspired by any of these mockups and want to make sure you get the fabric to make it, you might want to preorder it too.

Now let's get to the quilts! I can see why Flower Girl is turning out to be so popular. It is so soft and pretty and I had a great time playing with these fabrics in EQ8! So far, I've managed to avoid buy any because I definitely do not have time to be making any of these quilts myself. We'll see if I can continue to resist; I don't always have great luck with that!

If you really want to showcase these lovely fabrics, a Stay Square quilt would be a great option. Grab a layer cake and keep most of the square intact so that the fabrics really become the stars of the show! I used a Bella solid called Circa Celadon for the accent. This is one of the coordinating solids that the fabric designer chose for the Flower Girl collection.

Fabric Refresh - Meadow Star by Alexia Abegg for Ruby Star Society

Wow! Where did the past month go? Actually, I know where it went. My day job has been keeping me BUSY! I refreshed some of my quilt patterns in the new Meadow Star collection by Alexia Abegg for Ruby Star Society a couple of weeks ago and haven't had a chance to get the blog post written. 

This collection seems to be popular so I definitely wanted to get these mockups shared before the fabric gets hard to find, in case you want to recreate one yourself!

Let's jump right in! The first pattern that I refreshed in Meadow Star is Window Box, a jelly roll friendly pattern that is quick to put together thanks to strip-piecing.

I'm back with another Fabric Refresh blog post! If you're new around here, this is where I use my Electric Quilt 8 software to refresh some of my quilt patterns with new fabrics. Then I share them here so you can get inspired and get some ideas for how to use a recent fabric collection!

Today's I'm featuring Evolve by Suzy Quilts for Art Gallery Fabrics. As soon as I saw this collection a few months ago, I knew there would be a Fabric Refresh post in its future! I love the soft, muted colors. It has a bit of a tropical and beachy feel to it. If that appeals to you too, keep scrolling to check out all the refreshed quilts that I've created. 

I told myself I was only going to do a few since my life is so busy these days, but I got a bit carried away and have almost 20 mock-ups in this post! Enjoy!

I'm back today with another Fabric Refresh post. Today's featured collection is Strawberry Lemonade by Sherri and Chelsi for Moda Fabrics. I have been waiting for months for this fabric to arrive in stores! It is so pretty and I'm actually in the middle of making a quilt with this fabric for a future quilt pattern. While I can't share that just yet, I can share some refreshed versions of other patterns. Let's jump right in!

These are the fabrics I'm using for a quilt. The collection has several low volumes as well.

Moda designer 1 Canoe 2 has a new fabric collection out now called Willow. If January is giving you the winter blahs, the Willow collection might be just what you need! The colors are so rich and saturated and these fabrics make me think of a summertime getaway.

I knew as soon as I saw this collection that I needed to refresh some of my patterns with Willow. I'm excited to share them with you today. Let's jump right in!
