I'm working with yardage from one of
Blank Quilting's new fabric collections,
Samsara. The word in Sanskrit means "the ever turning wheel of life." Here is the plum colorway that will be hitting YLQS (your local quilt shop) later this fall.

The plum, aubergene, and eggplant hues are reminiscent of the wild asters and fall crysanthemums that are blooming this time of year. These colors contrast the goldenrod in the paisley print and energize the collection.
I chose the block from the
Square Daze pattern by Robin Jones at
Cottontail Quilts. It has a graphic feel and shows off the paisley print.

The dilemma is whether to go for a rectangular or square layout. What do you think?
I plan to introduce a few other fabrics—both from the collection and from blender collections,
Isadora and
Desiree.

The
Desiree (dijon) gives the palette a little brightness and snap! I've used Desiree for the setting triangles of
Moon Garden. It's a versatile print.
But first, I need to settle on the layout. Thoughts?
