It’s time to meet my new Cheering fabric bundles and projects!
The Fabric Bundles
My main goal here was to put together a couple of fabric palettes that are happy and cheerful. I love fabrics that put a smile on your face both in the stack and in a project.
That’s exactly what is happening here in two separate fat quarter bundles that can be used separately–as warm and cool palettes–or together in a full range of color.
These bundles mix printed pieces from Collection CF with Kona Cotton, Kona Sheen, Essex Linen, Homespun and Carolina Gingham. This mix of prints and solids, shiny stuff and textured stuff is to me what cheerful dreams are made of.
I wanted more saturation and so I limited the white/low volume pieces. Of course there are a range of light and dark fabrics, but they are all colorful.
The Projects
With new fabric bundles comes new projects that use them. First up is my Olive project that uses the Warm bundle, although I could definitely see a version of this made up in the Cool palette as well.
My newest Bow quilt uses both fabric bundles for a full range of colors and prints in an appliqué project. My first version of Bow was in greyscale, which I loved, but I knew I wanted to do one with tons of color as well. This was the way to do it.
This is the Throw size in the pattern, so it’s a good one to cuddle with, but it only uses 24 blocks thanks to the generous wholecloth panel at the top. Is that cheating? I don’t think so.

Thanks, Melanie! Happy weekend to you too!
When and where will these two bundles be available?
These bundles will be available at quilt shops starting in April 2022. 🙂
Will I be able to find them in Scandinavia? Or do I need to find a shop that does international shipping?
I don’t know which stores will have the fabric, Lotta, but hopefully you’ll be able to find some options that work for you. The bundles will start shipping April 2022. I’m so glad you like them!
In love with the combinations..
Thanks, Muriel!
Gorgeous and soooo happy! You’ve inspired me to maybe tackle the Olive. Isn’t that a perfect palette for that, as we enjoy fall!
Yeah, definitely has a Fall feeling to it! Happy sewing, Tori!

Please tell me the best batting to use for your placemat patterns…which, by the way…are the best! Your background as an architect combined with your true artistic talent are fabulous and a pleasure to learn from and create. Thank you.
