MMF Glitz Blitz: Quilts!

When we first talked about doing metallics on our silky Cotton Couture weight fabric we knew that it would be perfect for garments, clutches and throw pillows but we wondered if it would make beautiful quilts-- well, Heidi Pridemore designed a couple of spectacular quilt patterns for us! We LOVE how they turned out. They are so elegant yet totally washable and great for everyday use! As part of our Glitz Blitz, we'd like to share them with you!

 This cute little dog has good taste ;)

As you can see in the swatches above, Glitz hangs with both the pink and mist groups. I bet they would even look good all mixed together in a quilt - feel free to send pictures if you try mixing them - I'd love to see :)

Well, this post wraps up our January Glitz Blitz! I hope you are feeling inspired to sew with metallics! I know that I am. 

And a big THANK YOU to all of the artists who participated in our blitz... you are amazing!

In honor of the end of the Glitz Blitz, we're giving away six yards of fabric! Two yards of Chic Chevron in Confection, two yards of Sleek Chevron in Confection, and two yards of our silky, soft Cotton Couture in Bright White!


 We'd love to hear what you think about all of the metallic projects, what you will make if you win, and what colors you would like to see in the future. 

Comments are now closed - thanks so much for participating!

Congratulations to....

"I thought the clothing, the children's dresses, were pretty but I love to make quilts and love the two in this post. That is what I would use the fabric to make. The aqua and the blush are both gorgeous. This is just one luscious group of fabric. Any color at all."

    Wow, the fabrics are so pretty! I love the quilts! I have never done metallic fabric but now that you've shown me, I'm really digging it! If I win, I would love to make a quilt pillow case, just something that's simple yet beautiful.
    I love the colors too! I'd love to see purple! Purple and gold just seems so royal to me.

  16. If I win I would love to make a quilt. Glitter is all I need to make fab quilt:)
    I wonder how would look like glitter on dark background (for example amaranth, glitter in coordinating color). It could be something nice.

    ReplyDelete
  17. So fresh and festive. Love the child's dress. I'd like to see metallic gold or silver combined with lavender because lavender is a quiet color but should stand out once in a while. I would use it for a child's dress, and for market bags--why should market bags be drab and boring?

    ReplyDelete
