Fig Tree DESIGNER SELECT SOLID BUNDLE… brought to you by MODA!
July 20, 2016
If you are new here today, welcome to my little corner of the world wide web!
I know I have already talked just a wee bit about these this summer but today is a special day in blogland. It is MODA BELLA SOLIDS DAY! If you float around a little today, you might notice that several of us designers are talking about our bundle… all of them are quite yummy, each representing the colors in that designer's signature palette.
Ours is…. well, classic Fig Tree. Not pastel. Not primary. Not totally bright, not totally soft. Somewhere in-between. "Fresh Vintage" is how we have always called it. But this bundle can be best described as plain SHERBET… there is no two ways around it. SHERBETS all of them!
Our BELLA SOLID colors include the following: ivory, butterscotch, cantaloupe, coral, persimmon, light lime, chartreuse, mint, green apple, parchment, fig tree wheat and faded black.
MODA offers them DESIGNER SELECT SOLIDS BUDNLES in these yummy little stacks of fat quarters available at quilt shops worldwide and we also offer them in 1/2 yds. on our site HERE.
When it came time to make some quilts with the bundles… well, we went a bit SHERBET crazy and created an entire book full of them. I guess I'm not nothing if not a bit obsessive… wait, did I say that out loud?
Introducing the SHERBETS & CREAMS book.
The book celebrates these lovely little sherbet bundles and all that you can create with them. It has 5 quilts that are all made with the FIG TREE SELECT BUNDLES and a variety of cream/low volume prints for the backgrounds. Each quilt uses either 1-2 of the fat quarter bundles or a single 1/2 yard version bundle, a variety of cream prints [we have cream print bundles too] and sometimes a bit extra of some of the solids for borders, etc. Each pattern in the book specifies exactly what you will need for each one, each one is a bit different.
Here are the quilts in the SHERBETS & CREAMS book. Click HERE for more info…
SLICES
POPSICLES
RIBBONS
...If you scroll back in the blog, you will find that we recently had a quilt along for this RIBBONS quilt. Feel free to jump in even now!
JELLO SQUARES
RETRO
Personally, I am loving every single one of these for the summer. Next up on my personal list… Jelly Squares!
Hope you enjoy a little FIG TREE SHERBET goodness this summer along with me!
Comment and let us know which one of the 5 quilts in the book is your favorite and you will be entered to win a SHERBET BUNDLE GIVEAWAY courtesy of the lovely folks at MODA.
Thanks for following and playing along!
Popsicles is my favorite! So cute!

Most certainly my favourite is Popsicles! Summer perfection!
Posted by: Andrea | July 21, 2016 at 07:56 AM
All are so wonderfully Fig Tree but Popsicles is my favorite.
Posted by: Kendra Maclean | July 21, 2016 at 07:56 AM
I love to make Popsicles and come up with different favors so the Popsicle quilt is right up my alley to use all the fig tree fabrics and make up my own flavor! Would love to get a book and make it.

They're all beautiful, but I think my favorite is the Popsicle quilt.
Posted by: Aimee | July 21, 2016 at 08:01 AM
Jello Squares! with Retro coming in a close 2nd. I love all of your designs, it's hard to pick.
Posted by: Tammie Smith | July 21, 2016 at 08:05 AM
I love the Popsicles!
Posted by: Elizabeth S | July 21, 2016 at 08:07 AM
All the quilts are delicious, but I think Slices is my favorite!
Posted by: Karen in Breezy Point | July 21, 2016 at 08:08 AM
They are all so summer fun and cheerful. Since I just sewed with you on the quilt along, I'd have to say Ribbons, but I also like Retro! Thanks!
Posted by: Marie Eddins | July 21, 2016 at 08:11 AM
My favorite would be Jello Squares. Those colors are beautiful! Thanks
Posted by: Cynthia Brunz | July 21, 2016 at 08:15 AM
I favor Retro. It is a great design/color collection. You always have such a great eye for quilts.

Jello squares is my favorite!
Posted by: Christine Sherman | July 21, 2016 at 08:28 AM
Popsicles for sure, with slices running a close second. Both made me smile and brought back memories of summers in the midwest.
Posted by: Laure Trimmer | July 21, 2016 at 08:28 AM
I had fun with the Quilt along and my Ribbons quilt is almost complete. Fun, but my favorite is the Slices quilt. It just says "summer" in a refreshing way.
Posted by: Candie | July 21, 2016 at 08:29 AM
Slices!!! Love it!
Posted by: Linda | July 21, 2016 at 08:35 AM
Ribbons is my favorite.
Posted by: Quilting Tangent | July 21, 2016 at 08:36 AM
I love Ribbons! All of these look like a bite of summer. So beautiful.
Posted by: Colleen Coffman | July 21, 2016 at 08:36 AM
Popsicles, hope to break out of my shell and give that quilt a try. So delicious looking!
Posted by: Jo West | July 21, 2016 at 08:42 AM
The Popsicle pattern is my favorite. They are so cute! A close second is the Ribbons pattern.
Posted by: Ashley Pickrell | July 21, 2016 at 08:44 AM
Can I name two favorites? I love both Slices and Popsicles...can't want to make them!
Posted by: Wendy | July 21, 2016 at 08:50 AM
Ribbons is my favorite.
Posted by: Susan K | July 21, 2016 at 08:51 AM
I do love these sherbet colors. I have always loved the look of "faded" colors so the black in this group is just PERFECT!
Posted by: Judy Mosconi | July 21, 2016 at 08:58 AM
Can I love them all? But okay if I need to pick a favorite it's Retro because I love how modern yet classic this traditional block look with your Sherbet bundle and low volumes.
Posted by: Hildy | July 21, 2016 at 09:11 AM
Beautiful colors in the bundle and I love the name sherbet for it! All of the new patterns are fabulous but if u have to pick just one....it would bet he Jello Squares quilt. I just love it!
Posted by: Jeannine Brenner | July 21, 2016 at 09:14 AM
If I had to pick a favorite it'd have to be Slices, but they are all so fresh and lovely!
Posted by: Nancy | July 21, 2016 at 09:15 AM
It's tough to choose just one since there's not a bad one in the bunch but Jello Squares is the one instantly captured my attention and I just keep going back to it for another look!
Posted by: Paula | July 21, 2016 at 09:22 AM
jello square is my favorite :)
Posted by: Lisa Majewski | July 21, 2016 at 09:22 AM
Popsicles is my favourite quilt!! It is so sweet💕
Posted by: Fireside Quilter | July 21, 2016 at 09:23 AM
Oh here?! Let's see.... How can I possibly pick a favorite when I love and want it alllllll? I guess I'll go with Ribbons? Thank you for the chance to win! 😘
Posted by: Cathy Callicoat | July 21, 2016 at 09:25 AM
Ribbons is my favorite and the colors are so happy!
Posted by: Julie B | July 21, 2016 at 09:30 AM
I love the Popsicle quilt. Pam1045bg@gmail.com
Posted by: Pam | July 21, 2016 at 09:34 AM
It's so hard to choose!!! I love Popsicle and Slices but they are all just beautiful!!!!! thanks for the chance to win!!! Also I am a pattern tester and sew very fast if you ever need another tester. That's probably a funny statement because I'm sure you have more help than you need but just throwing that out there!!! I can get you a reference if you need one also. It's something I just started because I'm so tired of sewing for just me. I make quilt tops and they are beautiful but they just sit here and I would like for them to be enjoyed but others.
Posted by: Pam Clark | July 21, 2016 at 09:34 AM
I like the Ribbons quilt. Beautiful colors...
Posted by: Mary Ann | July 21, 2016 at 09:34 AM

I would have to choose Slices. It looks yummy in those colors.
Posted by: Sharon | July 21, 2016 at 09:45 AM
Slices is my favorite with Popsicles a close second. Great colors!
Posted by: Shelley Parham | July 21, 2016 at 09:51 AM
I can't decide between popsicles and retro. Love them both!
Posted by: Rebecca S. | July 21, 2016 at 09:57 AM
My favorite is slices, but I like them all. Thanks for the draw.
Posted by: Edith Gorzo | July 21, 2016 at 10:03 AM
My current favorite is Slices. I love the pop of black. I also like Ribbons. So hard to choose just one.
Posted by: Mary | July 21, 2016 at 10:12 AM
They are all beautiful! I think the Popsicles quilt is my favorite.
Thanks for the chance to win.
Posted by: Becky S | July 21, 2016 at 10:18 AM
I love them all. I don't really even like watermelon (I know, it's a crime), but slices is my favorite!
Posted by: Holly | July 21, 2016 at 10:20 AM

Retro is my absolute fave and those solids are absolutely dreamy.
Posted by: Tammy | July 21, 2016 at 10:25 AM
Jello squares is my favorite ... That pattern really shows off the ability to use all the colors and entire quilt function well ... I love how is block is different and makes another color the primary focus .. Great group of colors!!

Posted by: Lisa W. | July 21, 2016 at 10:41 AM
Well I have already made Ribbons and I love it. I think next will be Retro. But in the meantime I am using my Sherbets and Creams to make a Christmas Tree skirt of my own design. It's coming out great!
