Topic: Sizzle Kit cool colors (1/1) - The Quilt Show Forum

Welcome, Guest

Join us on a TQS exclusive 12-month creative journey with Becky Goldsmith as we bring you "Sizzle," a stunning quilt designed especially for TQS.

Each month we will provide photos, detailed directions for a portion of the quilt, and full-size patterns. Becky has also created a selection of "how-to" videos to guide you along the way.

Let's use this Topic "Sizzle Show and Tell" as a place to show off your beautiful Sizzle Blocks. That way, you know where to come to see what everyone is doing.
The topics that apply to each month are a good place to ask questions or make suggestions for each block.
AND when you post your photos to Social Media, like Instagram, Facebook, etc., use either of these hash tags so everyone there will be able to find our wonderful work:

The Kaleidoscope cotton solids are beautiful fabrics--I have used them successfully in garments and quilts.

I found out the answer to my question- fabrics in kit are from andover. On the andover website, the three solids are from the kaleidoscope collection by allison glass. On her website, she says the fabrics are essentially shot cottons, with warp and weft being slightly different colors. the fabrics are 100% cotton, no linen content. She has a brochure on line with patterns made from these fabrics, which are quite nice.

kathyst2 OFFLINE Posts: 873 Thank you received: 84	I've started washing my cool colors, by hand, noticing a lot of dye coming out like Irene did with the warm colors. My question is this: the three solids are a coarse weave, I'm not familiar with this fabric. Is it homespun? or a linen-cotton blend? The three fabrics seem so different from the others in weave. Thanks, Kathy
