LATEST WORKS IN PROGRESS

Say hello to the BRIGHT + COOL colorway of Wonderful World🌎

This is the colorway that I know I'll probably run out of first! I'm starting with 3 of these prints for my @wakuwakubaby shop's fall/winter release that's in the works😍 This colorway is also closest to my original vision for this collection, so it's exciting to finally hold this stack in my hands💙

BRIGHT + WARM lineup:
💙 Out of This World - Deep Sapphire
🦒 Giraffe Parade - True Blue
🐝 Nice to Bee with You - Crystal Clear
🌏 What a Wonderful World! - What a Sea of Green
💛 Fish Family - Blue Lagoon
plus perfectly matched @cottonandsteel blenders!

Which print would you reach for first? 😍

Hope you're having a great week~!!

Seiko

🌈 Quilty Summer Chapter 03: Rainbow Log Cabin 🌈 I'm realizing that the end of summer is quickly approaching yet I have so much more to share😱 I'll try to pick up my pace here so it won't be winter by the time I'm done sharing🤣

Ok, so after making 8, 16-patch blocks, I thought I just needed one more block to go in the center for a small wall hanging ! So naturally, I decided to try a log cabin block for the first time! Yes, it is VERY wonky😂 but I love it nonetheless!

Once I put the log cabin in the middle of my 8 16-patch blocks, I had my first 9-block quilt!I could have called this done but my kids had another idea. They wanted me to keep going⭐️

So 9 blocks became the beginning rather than the end😍 Which leads me to...my next set of blocks which I will share next, which quickly became one of my favorites⭐️

Quilty Summer: Chapter 02💛 My first quilt block (!!) plus 16-patch block madness 🧵

Oh the thrill! I made my first quilt block, a 16-patch🥳!! As wonky as it looks (those rectangles are supposed to be squares🫣), it was an absolute JOY! It was extra special using fabrics from my own fabric collection, Wonderful World🥹

I was way too excited after the first, I kept going and made 7 more!! I kind of skipped the pressing step (and those seams were not perfectly 1/4 inch) 😱 but hey I'll do better next time (learned my lesson the hard way)😬

At this stage, I had no idea I would end up making 3 more different quilt blocks 🤯 but I already knew I was in trouble😉 (aka bitten by the quilting bug)💕 Stay tuned for Chapter 03!

Hope you're having a great weekend~🌈

xo,
Seiko

Say hello to the BRIGHT + WARM colorway of Wonderful World🌎💕

If I had to pick one colorway that feels the most me, it might just be this one😍

To be honest, I was a little nervous the fuchsia colorway of Out of This World might be tooooo pink... but silly me😂 I absolutely love how bright and happy it turned out, and I think it would make the sweetest statement baby gifts💗

And of course, I love pairing the warm and cool colorways together (that's exactly what I'm doing for my Quilty Summer project)🌈

BRIGHT + WARM lineup:
💗 Out of This World - Fuchsia
🦒 Giraffe Parade - Sparkling Sun
🐝 Nice to Bee with You - Orange Burst
🌏 What a Wonderful World! - Sun Pink
💛 Fish Family - Pink Paradise
plus perfectly matched @cottonandsteel blenders!

Which print is calling your name right now? 😍
