🧵Week 1: Choosing Your Fabrics
This week, it’s all about the fun (and sometimes slightly overwhelming!) task of fabric selection. You’ll be making some exciting decisions about your feature diamond fabric, the diamond border fabric, and your background fabric.
Here’s a peek at Anne’s fabric stack to inspire you!
Anne has selected Tula Pink’s Everglow fabrics with coordinating solids from Tula’s Unicorn Poop solids collection (yes, that’s really what they’re called – and yes, they’re just as fabulous as they sound! 🦄🌈).
Watch this week’s video talking through the different fabric choices so that you can decide what your Moon Diamond quilt will look like.
