I agree with Lisa that this fabric is user friendly in many ways. It's simple beauty can be backgrounds or assist in other colors. It's great for reproduction quilts, and for me, a Bento Box pattern because of the wonderful contrast. Thank you for showcasing this fabric.
Wonderful interview and I love Lisa's designs.

Love the interview….and thank you for calling attention to her fabulous line of fabric! My subscribers at OleFrogEyes will be very interested for their samplers!
For some reason, I've never thought of black and tan without any other colors. Beautiful quilt and the fabrics are perfect for it! What's the pattern?
Love the black and tan quilt. It would make a wonderful "guy" quilt –maybe for my bachelor son.
Staffies are great dogs that get a bad name, very popular in England. I hope she leaves their ears natural (not cropped), so cute!
Great to get to know Lisa more. I love her designs.
I always learn something new from this blog.
Love Lisa's fabric designs and her great books, thanks for the interview!
What is the pattern called and do you do you have a copy of the pattern? If I wanted to make as a queen quilt, how much fabric?
