I like the Rappahannock Sunset Gradient, It really looks like Sunset! Thanks for the chance!
Ohh – they are all so beautiful. I think Meadow Sunrise is my current favorite. Thanks for all the eye candy!
I love ALL of Vicki’s hand dyes but the blues in Paradise are simply fabulous!
Love Grandma quilt. Brings back memories.
I loved Southwest gradient. I think would be perfect for a beach or marine landscape quilt.
I love all of Vicki’s fabrics but my favorite right now is Morning Glory. Those colors are so deep and rich they take my breath away! :)
so many gorgeous choices . . . i think i’d pick seaworthy as a favorite. i would fondle it for a while, hang it on my design wall for a while, fondle it some more, and then i would show it off to everyone i know.
yep, that’s what i’d do with it.
:-)

I adore the Hand Dyed Fabric Southwest Gradient. Reminds me of sunrise at the beach! I’d use this fabric in a challenge quilt that I’m making next month.
I think festival would make a beautiful skirt for my grand daughter. they are all gorgeous! it was very hard to decide.
Sea and Sky :)
It was so difficult picking my favorites this week. Such wonderful quilts.
The gradients from Vicki Welsh are just gorgeous! I’ll have to say “Navajo” was my favorite, but that wasn’t easy, either. So many beautiful colors and combinations. I had a little dreamy fun trying to decide what I could make with those.
My favorite is Anatola (Pink to Yellow).
I love hand dyed fabric southwest gradient
