I'm am trying to decide which fabrics to use to make a sleeve for both my iPad and new Mac. Originally I immediately though of all my Egyptian fabric. Even though I love the fabric, for me its just not bright enough. I want something bright and colourful. I do have the following three fat eights I bought at Sewco.
I absolutely love the three together. However I thought maybe a little too bold? I also have the following three fat eights that I bought at the Craft Fair earlier this year.
I do really love these three together. I was thinking that they would be perfect for the iPad sleeve. Our local quilt shop has a little basket/tray in their store which has a collection of fat eights in it that change every time we visit. This basket is usually 5 for $10. Mum and I usually pick some up for practice blocks or quilting practice. Last time we visited I found 10 fat eights that I couldn't leave behind. It's the first time I've found things in it that I liked.
I was thinking of using the bottom three pastel colours, or the purple/pinks fabrics together, or just the brights together.
I haven't made up my mind yet. I'd like to so I can get started. I suppose I just have too many choices. I was initially thinking of choosing three fabrics to feature and sew them together very simple so that the fabric will do all the work. However I do love pinwheels, and I do love chevrons. I'm trying to think of how I can use either of the two in my design. I originally wanted to buy half a meter of Chevrons fabric by Riley Blake Designs but I really want to design something myself and I have quite a lot of beautiful fabric here already.
I'll keep you posted about what I choose to use.
