Back in 2018 I bought a fabric bundle that I never actually used as a combo in anything. It was called 'Rosebud' in some blush-rose pinks and earthy camel tones, all in different linen weights, barkcloth & soft cotton merino.
When I spotted the folk sampler @farmandfolk recently with its rustic & earthy feel, I decided my small bundle would work very nicely. And I could always go to the quilt shop for extras - but it turns out I have enough in my stash here to add to the initial bundle and I was excited to get started.
I really love that one or two of the fabrics stand out a bit too, like the grey and white gingham and the Outback Wife floral 'Elizabeth' print.
I mixed in some darker fabrics with lighter tones so that it looked scrappy and had a lot of contrast. I'm keeping the colour palette simple - something just a bit different for me, I know! - using muted green, peachy/pinks, assorted browns to "ground" things, and maybe just a little black. Some fabrics are light and airy neutrals, while others are dark, moody & muted.

I'm enjoying seeing everyone’s work, loving all the different combinations of colour and prints.
