I'm so happy to be a part of the Blog Tour for Maureen Fiorellini's newest fabric collection for Studio e Fabrics - Find Your Path. This collection has prints perfect for litttle kids and prints that are sophisticated enough for adults. I asked Maureen for some of the more sophisticated prints for myself.
I received the navy floral, woodgrain, ferns, mushrooms, and trees. I might be forgetting a few of the prints. I added in a few scraps of solids and made a bunch of half square triangles. I then sewed them together into a piece that was big enough for me to use for some puffy sleeves.
I used the Uvita Top from Itch to Stitch. The pattern is free, but I used the flare sleeve from the Uvita add-on pack (the add-on [ack is $5, but is worth it). I had seen similar tops online that were a knit top with dropped shoulders and quilted sleeves that gathered at the wrist. The Uvita is a dropped shoulder knit top and knew it was the perfect base for me make my vision.
I also made the Sew Liberated Nest Sweatshirt. I made my first Nest Sweatshirt last winter and worn it non-stop. I knew I needed to make another. I might actually need to make a few more so that I always have a clean one in my closet. This sweatshirt is so comfortable and I love that it is made to feature a quilt block!
I made a Honeymoon block with the Find your Path prints and paired them with a denim print french terry in a soft taupe color that has a pinkish undertone. It went so well with the prints.
I made matching joggers but will likely not actually wear these two pieces together in real life. That might be a bit too matchy matchy.
The Find Your Path Collection is in stores now! Be sure to see Maureen's Instagram post to enter today's giveaway for a Queen sized batting from Hobbs! The blog tour ends on November 7th with daily giveaways. Check out Maureen's Instagram post daily to see how to enter.

The idea of merging quilt blocks into clothing is so inspiring to me! It's a great way to make something different and have fun with choosing blocks, fabrics and details! Awesome work! Duchick at gmail dot com
