In case you missed it, the Deco Quilt pattern is now available! If you haven't already read my initial blog post about the two-color Deco quilt that I made, be sure to check that out here. You'll find my inspiration, pattern sizes fabric requirements and other details about Deco. Okay! My last Deco quilt to share with you is quite possibly my favorite one! This was my last Deco quilt to design....mostly because I was really held up by choosing colors! I initially thought that I had my colors nailed down, then I got about halfway through sewing all of my blocks and I HATED it. It was nothing like what I envisioned in my head! I loved all of the colors individually, but they did not work well together at all. I was in a little bit of a time crunch, so I was really bummed that I changed my mind. I actually wasted a whole day contemplating whether or not I should start over. In the end, the colors weren't sitting well with me, so I decided to start over! Thankfully, I used my Kona color chips to find other fabrics, and I ordered some fabrics online with expedited shipping. Once they arrived, I was still a little bit skeptical that it would turn out how I wanted, but I jumped in and hoped for the best! . From top to bottom, the fabrics are: Magnetism, Smoke, Bellini, Rose, Deep Rose, Sienna. This is how I used them in this quilt: Color 1: Sienna - 1/2 yard Color 2: Deep Rose - 1/3 yard Color 3: Rose - 3/4 yard Color 4: Bellini - 1/2 yard Color 5: Smoke - 1/2 yard Background: Art Gallery Fabrics Magnetism - 3.25 yards We have quilt kits to create this exact quilt in our shop! I sometimes like to stick with only one fabric manufacturer per quilt, especially if I know that it's going to be on the cover of a pattern. But since I originally thought that I was going to use all Art Gallery Fabrics for the quilt, I kind of had my heart set on using AGF Magnetism for the Background. When the AGF colors didn't work out and I had to make the switch to Kona, I decided to keep the Magnetism background because it just felt right. I would say a comparable Kona option would be Gotham Grey...but it's slightly more
