Zen Chic’s fabulous new fabric line: Celestial
Zen Chic can add another amazing line to her list of fabric collections. I am so proud of this one and I know you are enthusiastic about this color scheme since it came out on top in a poll on Instagram. I love asking my quilting fans and providing for them.
So I give you Celestial, a modern, natural, harmonious fabric group, which has this special something. Take a look and imagine the projects and quilts you can make with these fantastic fabrics.
Watch the video below and get a feel of this fabulous collection.
Celestial for a minimalistic style
The Celestial line is catered to a minimalistic style, which reminds us of Scandinavian interior design. The main fabric is the collage print, one that comes on a black and cream background. And this larger print comes in a canvas as well, so perfect to use for bags, home dec, fabric baskets, and everything that needs that sturdier fabric.
Smaller projects ideal for the Celestial collection
If you find some fabrics in this line that look familiar, you are right. My former collection More Background Even More Paper originates from the Celestial line. So some similarities are indeed a fact.
To give you an idea of what smaller projects you can make with the Celestial fabrics, you can think of a baby quilt or lap size quilt. But also clothing or a little pouch.
Celestial featured through 4 quilting patterns
And of course, this sophisticated collection comes with 4 beautiful quilting patterns. In the coming weeks we will take a closer look at the individual patterns, so stay tuned for that. But let’s take a look already, shall we?
Celestial Stripes
Just one Jelly Roll and some yardage for the background are the ingredients for this queen-size quilt. The blocks in the center are super easy to make and the quilt will be done in no time!
Celestial Stripes, perfect for beginners.
Jewels
With its elegant, randomly spread diamond shapes and the calm light background, Jewel makes for a striking lap-size quilt. The technique used is FPP and a Fat Eighth Bundle provides all fabrics needed for the diamonds.
Jewels, for the intermediate quilter.
Half the Way
Half the Way is a modern take on a traditional quilt. Well-known blocks split diagonally into halves, a layout split into halves with lots of negative space to show intricate quilting – this makes this lap-size quilt appealing to the traditional quilter as well as to the modern.
Half the Way is for the confident beginner.
X & +
X & + has always been a bestseller at Zen Chic. No wonder we have now the third edition of this pattern - featuring the Celestial fabrics. The whimsical textures and the calm color scheme are perfect to create this scrappy look.
X & +, for the confident beginner.
