Beautiful Fabrics

The fabric collection used to make this finished Market Square quilt is called Timber by Moda Fabrics.  These fabrics are so sweet as a modern baby quilt.  I've been saving this pile of squares for just the right baby quilt pattern, and finally found it in Market Square!  I made this quilt in the adorable Baby size, and I just love how it turned out!  The fabric is an assortment of leaves and shapes in fall colors that give the quilt a nature-like feel.

The backing fabric is Widescreen in Gray by Carolyn Friedlander for Robert Kaufman which was leftover from a previous quilt.  It's the perfect modern backing to complement the front, and it's getting very difficult to find.  We do have Widescreen in Niagra in the shop right here.
