Fabric of the Year (FOTY) is a concept thought up by my friend. I made it my own and ran with it. The idea is to use a small piece of each fabric you buy for something right away. This means that you know right away what you like and what you don’t like and whether you have enough of what you like or not. This has been really successful for me and I am pleased with the quilts that have come out of this project.
I just used a simple rectangle and it turns out that I really like working with that rectangle shape. These quilts turn out to be great exercises in color.
FOTY 2009 uses a modifed block from Bill Kerr and Weeks Ringle called Zanzibar.
