It was fun to see how Jill Mead, editor of Quilts & More magazine, recently used the Rainbow Garden fabrics by Prints Charming, in a quilt for her grandson. We love her use of the big bold paisley (shown) as the backing, making the quilt reversible.
It’s also a great reminder of how to use those large design fabrics you might think are “too pretty (or too wild!) to cut”. Check out the front of Jill’s quilt and more details on her project at www.AllPeopleQuilt.com
This month at MarcusFabrics.com, we introduce you to furoshiki, the ancient Japanese preactice of using pretty cloth to wrap and transport all kinds of items, from gifts to groceries! Read more about this creative, earth-friendly alternative to plastic bags and wasteful paper gift wraps! And put it into practice using your favorite Marcus fabrics, just in time for Earth Day (April 22), and all those great Mother’s Day, Father’s Day and graduation gifts to come!
