Last week I was at one of my local quilt shops, and I saw a piece of Kaffe fabric in the bargain box. It was a fabric that I'd never had it my stash, so of course it was calling my name. How could I leave it there?
So I bought it home with me and immediately started going through my stash to see what else I had that would work with it.
It turns out I had quite a bit, because it's my favourite blue/purple colour.
The Stone Flower piece that I bought is a Free Spirit sateen wide back, so slightly heavier than quilting cotton, but still perfectly fine for the front of a quilt. I'm thinking that I'll made a feature of the motif and build a medallion quilt around it maybe. I had a quick flick through some books and liked these ideas:

| From Quilts in the Cotswolds |

| from Quilts in Italy |
So this might be something fun to start between Christmas and our holiday in January.
Now it's time for the Peacock Party. Feel free to link up a recent blog post below.

Such pretty fabric . So glad you brought it home to play with your other Kaffe fabrics. Looking forward to seeing you use it in the future. Thank you for hosting the link party. Have a great weekend.
Go to foxs cottage facebook or website. I've bought their pattern for using the stone print they've just released it
Pretty Kaffe fabric, great find! Happy stitching!
either one would be ideal...great find!
That's a delicious group of fabrics!
What a beautiful fabric. And on my monitor, it looks like the new Pantone color of the year, so very on-trend! Your fabric pull will make another wonderful quilt. Who knew a bargain find would lead to such inspiration?
Glad you saved that beauty from the bargain bin. Will be fun to see you build a quilt around it!
Thanks for the link up Wendy and good luck with your new medallion quilt!
That piece of Kaffe was surely irresistible! And the last pattern you have pictured is just like the Linda from Kokaquilts has just finished! SNAP! You will have another beauty using all your wonderful Kaffe stash!
What a great find! It's perfect for the start of a beautiful medallion.
