Capri fabric look book

Capri fabric collection
My Capri fabric collection has finally started to arrive in quilt shops worldwide!
There has been some shipping delays caused by pandemic, so the collection is a bit late, but just in time for spring!
So I had to make a print that would represent beautiful and so authentic cities and colorful houses among the Amalfi coast and nearest, Capri island. It was a bit challenging to put it in repeat, but I somehow managed to do it.
I was enchanted with all the phots of the beautiful streets and corners of the Capri island and I am so glad I did a toile version with all these blue inked drawings.
Unfortunately, that print is available only in rayon, but it's a perfect substrate for this lovey print that with added lemons became even more unique.
Of course there are 16 prints in premium quilting cotton, great choices for both quilting and wardrobe making.
I also created this file with matching AGF pure solids, so that it can be convenient for quilt making.
O course, there are more solids that can be matched with the prints, like pistachio and mint greens, but I tried to narrow down the choices to mainly blues, pinks and yellows.

Zellige quilt pattern
Zellige quilt pattern is constructed with traditional flying geese (FG) quilt blocks, half square triangles (HSTs) and simple squares with aim to obtain nice colorful interplay and lovely sawtooth star shapes. My inspiration for this quilt pattern was Mediterranean widely famous Moorish, Zellige tiles.
With my Capri collection in mind, this geometrical interplay and pattern design seamed like a great match.
Here is the original picture that served as inspiration for the quilt construction. It's fun to see how some ideas are born!
This quilt pattern comes in different sizes :
- pillow front - two variations: 24.5” x 24.5”
- table runner: 24.5” x 72.5”
- baby: 40.5” x 40.5”
- throw: 72.5” x 88.5”
- bed: 88.5” x 104.5”
But the combinations are limitless, so using just pillow fronts and connecting blocks, you can obtain different layouts and unique lap size quilts.

Kelim quilt pattern
Hello there!!!
I can't believe that it's 2022 already. Wow! I think I planned for so long to write my first post in this year and really wanted to strive to blog more often, but 30-something days later, here I am.
I am intensively working on preparing things for the release of the look book of my next (but already available for shops) fabric collection - Capri. I will write more about it in my next post, but before that, I wanted to share a few more pics of my favorite and best selling quilt pattern-Kelim.
I created this quilt pattern for the release of my Twenty look book, but I honestly want to make it with any other fabric collection, because it's so versatile and gives amazing results. Also HSTs are may favorite quilt block units ( beside being also the first quilt block unit I created).
So, here are some pics of the Kelim quilt (quilt pieced and quilted by my friend, Barbara Opett, along with some beautiful details )
