This is such a fun, modern quilt by Belinda! Prisms, hexagons, honey comb! I love how it appear to break free as it moves toward the upper right. And bright colors paired with the simple white and gray are stunning. Belinda certainly makes some beautiful quilt tops!

Buyer’s guide ~
When I decided to look for some sewing inspiration that included yellow and gray fabric, pretty items from Etsy shops kept coming up in my search. So I decided to do something I hadn’t done for quite some time…make a treasury! So here’s some inspiration from Etsians who also love yellow and gray!
The yellow and gray color palette continues to trend and is found a favorite among decorators and sewists alike. Gray Matters by Jacqueline Savage McFee for Camelot Cottons is a lovely fabric collection with a mix of shades of gray and yellow. The geometric striped and dot prints combined with the softer floral and paisley prints put me in mind of a man in a gray suit holding a bouquet of daffodils. Weird? Maybe. But for some reason it’s the image that’s stuck in my head!
Here’s the collage of prints arranged by Fat Quarter Shop:

Today’s coordinated fabric mix comes from one of the simple but beautiful quilts by Monique of Sew Fun by Monique. Different shades of blue, golds, reds, and pops of bright white give this blanket the beachy feel Monique was going for when she chose these fabrics.
