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!
All of the quilts are spectacular, but I really love Retro. Thanks!

Nice, fresh sherbet colors. Fig tree Cream is my main go to for the cream tone backing on my quilts. I buy yards and yards.
I like the slice pattern, very sweet!

Popsicles!!!!! Love your values BUT they do not go with or enhance anything I have/use. Will you always do sherberts?
Enjoy your site and the thread too.

Popsicles is darling, but I just love the movement of Jello squares. They jiggle like jello!

So far it would be ribbons, but I like the look of jello and retro too. They are all fun and figgy!
