How can a fabric line have delicate strength? Defined simply, when little tiny floral elements, independently delicate, come together in one piece to make a beautiful ensemble. That's the strength!
Months ago when I received the BLOOM TRUE fabric for Poppie Cotton's Fabric Tour, I knew I wanted to showcase each of Terri's lovely designs for the power they held individually. Terri Conrad Designs, created this collection with markers of a typical Poppie Cotton line. Most noteably, the Poppie Cotton pinks, but also BLOOM TRUE has rich deep colors of Gold, Dreamy Aqua, and Chocolately Brown/Blacks. Unlike other Poppie Cotton lines, you won't find the signature chicken or strawberry elements, but you will find the little florals that become future a strawberry fruit.
In making this oversized throw, I used 2.5 inch half square triangles, and lined them up into rows using 1,080 squares! UGH!! Yes, it was crazy work, but the results are so worth the effort. đÂ
So many elements of this quilt I am in love with, but my most favorite is the airiness the quilt has by using the New White Marshmallow Country Confetti by Poppie Cotton. Country Confetti fabrics are almost solids and by using the white, I was able to frame each fabric block into it's own little showcase. I used the BLOOM TRUE, FLORA BLACK for the backing because I love rich deep colors and this fit my taste perfectly. Poppie Cotton refers to this fabric as black, but some light, it looks awfully close to my favorite, a dark chocolate!
Bloom True can be found in our Website, along with the accompanying pattern, FLOWERS IN BLOOM. The Flowers in Bloom Pattern is also available in a Kit on our Website! The pattern is Fat Quarter friendly and we are offering three different border options, Yellow, Blue, or Pink. The kit also requires Country Confetti Heavy Cream and White Marshmallow.
