Shades of Grey Scrap Challenge: Paloma Nunez-Regueiro

Posted by John

Today’s guest designer for the Daisy Janie Shades of Grey scrap challenge is Paloma Nunez-Regueiro (@3KitchenFairies), who blogs about sewing, quilting, embroidery, and her beautiful daughters at Three Kitchen Fairies. I’m in awe of what she created with her scrap bag, and think you will be, too!

When I first got the Daisy Jane Shades of grey Fabrics, my first thought was of a modern quilt. The designs of these prints are really beautiful, and unique. They definitely tickled my mind and the ideas started to pour. I knew I wanted to showcase every fabric in the bundle. I was also given the choice of using some solid color fabric that were included in the package, and anything else I wanted to throw in the mix; the white background is the only fabric I added to this project.

The wavy lines in this project are basically Wagon Wheel variation. In order to make more curves per line, I made a different size spoke template for this patten. The half circles and their centers were hand appliqué.

After looking at it for a few days I decided it was a good idea to turn it into a pillow, that way I can keep it around the house instead of keeping it on the to-do list as a quilt. It was a joy to work with these fabrics.
