Hello.
Eleanor here.
Head of Quilt Testing, Visual Interest, and Laying Directly in the Middle of Things.
Today I’ve been stationed on a very important assignment: the Ombre Northern Lights quilt. And before you ask—yes, I have already approved it for naps, dramatic stares, and full-body sprawl situations.
This quilt is bold. It’s colorful. It looks like the sky is doing something exciting. Naturally, I felt compelled to supervise.
Ombre Northern Lights is one of those quilts that makes people say things like, “WOW”, “Ohhhhhh” and of course the “I want and need that.”
It was originally designed using ombre wovens, which are stunning, magical, and sometimes harder to find than the cat when it’s time to contribute to household productivity.
Which brings me to the very important human-friendly news.
Because we care about you, and because frustration leads to fewer treats, we’ve made things easier.
For:
Bella Solids substitutions are listed by clicking on the image below!
Yes. Listed.
Thought through.
Dog-approved.
You can still get that gorgeous Northern Lights look using Bella Solids, without having to track down rare fabrics or mutter things under your breath (I hear everything).
You may also notice that I am doing the heavy lifting while the cat lounges nearby pretending he had input.
He did not.
He claims the colors are “too vibrant” and that the quilt is “too happy looking” Typical. Meanwhile, I’m here helping the people by laying across the exact area you need to see for reference on how adorably cute your pet would look on the quilt, and the JOY that the happy colors bring!
You’re welcome.
So, if you’ve been eyeing Ombre Northern Lights but are done sitting on it, then this blog post was especially written just for you. Go on. You deserve a little mid week purchase!
Head over to the V and Co. shop
And start sewing something that looks impressive and feels cozy
I’ll be here.
Making sure no cats get the wrong idea.
And making sure nothing moves without my approval.
