A Little Koi

I was so pleased last week when I received an email from Amy Smart that I won her giveaway from Honey Be Good. I chose to receive the 13 fat quarter bundle of these delicious organic fabrics Koi for Coud9. I am so excited to make something great with them.


I do have a plan in mind: this adorable pieced hexagon quilt from Rashida Coleman-Hale who also designed the fabrics. So once these goodies came in the mail I ripped them open and took some pictures as part as the Quilt Photography Workshop link up over at Plum and June

Plum and June


I take all of my pictures on my iPhone. I know they aren't the best quality, but my only other camera is a 5-year old point and shoot and I just don't have time to take it out then upload them. And to tell the truth, my phone is just as good. Hopefully next year I can get a nice camera and take a class how to use it! I am completely lost on all things like that, but I would love to learn.


So I will stick with my iPhone photos for now and just enjoy the simple click and shoot and easy editing right on my phone. And I upload them from my phone too. 

Don't you just love this line? I love these blenders above. I can see the fish-inspired scales, but it doesn't look fishy. I was expecting the main fabric with the koi on it to be a little more navy, but it is a beautiful deep royal purple. So I won't be making a boy quilt with this stack, too many pinks and purples. 


I most of my pictures right in front of my back sliding glass door. I love the wood texture as background and all the natural light that comes in during the afternoon. 


But I must say my favorite print is this charcoal plus print. I want to buy the voile yardage and make a fun dress.

Your phone really does take good pics. And I do love the fabric on the wood floor...makes me wish I had wood floors!!! And your fabric choices are beautiful. Great job.

I like the wood floor as the background too.

I love the Koi fabrics. I'm sure you will come up with something fantastic! The camera is pretty good too. :)

Okay, the phone pictures are almost as good as a fancy camera photograph. In a year or two, who's going to need a separate camera? You are already ahead of the game! I agree, the wood background really makes the fabric pop!
