Buying By The Bolt from Life in the Scrapatch

This is

Bella Solids Bleached White #9900-98

which is one of my preferred background whites.

Usually I have plenty of this in my stash,

but I was down to my last yard and it is in four projects

that I am working on at the moment.

So it was time to buy more.

So I bought a 15 yard bolt.

It came packaged in plastic, pristine and uncut.

I know this sounds at first like an extravagance, but hear me out.

I bought this at

Fat Quarter Shop,

my favorite online shop,

where Bella Solids are regularly $6.99 per ...

Experimenting ~ Bella Solids ~ My Favorite Color is Moda from Life in the Scrapatch

I have recently bought the

My Favorite Color Panel and Yardage

that I blogged about Here

because I loved the fabric.

I decided it would be fun and informational to experiment and do a color comparison with the panel, yardage and my Bella Solids Color Chart.

Here is a comparison between the panel and my chart

for one of my favorite colors, Fresh Green.

It is almost spot on.

Here is another panel and chart comparison and favorite, Tangarine.

This one looks very, very close.

Summer Sky is slightly different, but close enough.

Again, this is the large panel and ...

Schoolhouse Quilt Pattern from Moda Lissa

During the pandemic, several different people on social media starting having outdoor quilt shows by showcasing one of their quilts in their yard or on their front porch, etc. Jenny Doan starting doing this also and I thought I would do the same each weekend.

Modern Classic from Leftovers (Between the Blinds) from Sew Sunshine

This is the MQG modern classic makeover pattern by Diana Vandeyar called "Oblique" for the Feb 2017 issue.

I originally made the Chess on the Steps by Krista Hennebury. I named mine 'Strength and Beauty' HERE

I thought I could use additional fabrics in the composition with the specific ones the MQG listed but I don't think that is what they wanted. So with lots of leftovers I decided to see if I had enough fabric left to make another quilt.

I think I want to call mine "Between the Blinds"
