The Last Minute Market Dash

While we're still on the subject of things that traveled to Texas to attend Market, here's a picture of the quilt that was made in the nick of time.  Jay McCarroll is the mastermind behind these wide ranging prints.  This collection, called Habitat, is a departure from his previous whimsical collections.

Some of these fabrics would make excellent decor statements as pillows while others would shine as framed wall pieces.  There are also great possibilities for clothing and accessories.  I believe the collection will be in stores in January.  So plenty of time to get the wheels turning. 

The free pattern for this quilt will be available through Free Spirit's website.

    Now that is cool. It makes me think of rickrack. Don't you wish rickrack came in all those patterns? I know I do. To me, rickrack is the "comfort food" of the sewing world. You did a great job. Carolina

    Rick rack really is a "comfort food". I agree 100%. I can't take credit for the idea. Jay actually had this type of quilt in mind. I just executed it and wrote the pattern. But he was right on about the style. It really displays the prints to great advantage.
