Modern Marks Blog Hop and Giveaway!

-
 

Several weeks back Christa Watson (www.christaquilts.com) asked me if I'd be interested in participating in a blog hop and giveaway for her debut fabric line Modern Marks by Benartex.  I couldn't believe it, I'd been eyeing Christa's fabric line via Instagram and her blog dreaming about how I can use them in a quilt design and now I had an amazing opportunity to do just that.

Modern Marks by Christa Watson

I set out at once playing with quilt designs and in the end I settled on a sampler styled quilt featuring many of the prints.  When I got my hands on the Modern Marks fabric the first thing I noticed was how bright and saturated the colors were and then secondly what great quality the fabric was and how easy it was to work with.



 When I started quilting my design I couldn't help but smile when seeing these colors under my needle.  They're just so cheerful.  I also wanted to try some phantom shapes in a few areas of the quilt, it was too much fun.


I'm so happy with how this quilt came out.  The fabrics are so amazing and carry your eye effortlessly over the design.  I already have ideas of how to use this prints  mixed in with solids as a way to add depth and interest to a few of my designs.
Mod Shapes Quilt
The weather has been pretty overcast here and since my Photoshop skills aren't quite to the place where I can change a rainy day to a sunny one I left my Mod Shapes quilt up ready for that perfect photo as soon as the sun came out.  I'm going to miss all that color in my dining room now that I got my picture.


Finally, the giveaway!!  Benartex has generously offered a bundle of 8-10 of the prints from Christa's line as a giveaway for the blog hop.  To enter the giveaway leave a comment at the bottom of this blog post (sorry, US residents only).
