One Modern Kimono Coming Up

After showing my three kimono quilts that I made six years ago, I was in the mood to make a brand new one with modern fabrics.  Sometimes moods come and go, but this one lingered.  So, less than ten days after that first inkling, I had my fabric.  And I didn't even have to try very hard.

I went to The Sewcial Lounge's third birthday party this past Saturday and bought a lot of fabric.  One of my favorites was the striped material on the left - Jeni Baker's Mobius Stripe Warm from her just-released Geometric Bliss collection.  I didn't have any plans for it, but once I got it home, I thought it would make a perfect border for a modern kimono quilt.  

I went through my stash, looking for coordinates, but only found four.  What to do?  Why, go right back to The Sewcial Lounge, that's what.  Even though I felt silly going there twice in one day, I justified it by the fantastic one-day sale that was going on.

I picked up five more fabrics from Geometric Bliss, and three from other lines.   I can't wait to see it come together.
