Monday is All About Fabric – #152 – Speckled by Rashida Coleman-Hale
Today’s post is part of a series on this blog every Monday.
I don’t know about you, but fabric is EVERYTHING! I love buying it, petting it and then gushing with you about it. I’ll show you my latest fabric purchases and where you can buy it too.

Today I’m showing you our newest Speckled bundle. This is our second purchase of a large quantity of these fabrics all at once and we’ve got some of the brand new colors released only this month. I am so very smittten! I love these fabrics! You can’t make a quilt without blenders and these little babies will tie all your busy prints together. Almost all of my quilts made in the last year has had some of Speckled included.
These are all by Rashida Coleman-Hale and they just seem to go with everything. There are so many colors that you are definitely going to find what you need. We went ahead and put together a whole bundle of just Speckled in case your stash needs a bit more blender action. They can’t all be florals, can they? 🙂 What I like about blenders is that they can really make your busy prints pop and shine and not get lost amongst all the busy bustle of print fabrics.
