Aimee usually sews clothes for Spool, so we decided to change it up and get her making a quilt. We looked through our favorite learn to quilt book Start Quilting with Alex Anderson, and picked out the Nine Patch Variation quilt. Starting out with 2 peppermint and wintergreen shades of Kona Cotton Solids and one Amy Butler fabric, this quilt was dubbed Mintyfresh. Minty goodness is lovely, but when this quilt top was done it needed a little something extra. Kaffe to the rescue! The new Asian Circles print arrived just as we were looking for a border fabric. It works well with the cool greens, but brightens with vibrant purples and gives a more organic feel to the design. As if that weren’t excitement enough, Aimee chose Kaffe’s Big Blooms for the backing. This fabric is wild! It adds a spicy complement to the fresh flavor of the quilt top. Nice job!
