Fandango by Kate Spain– and more!

302 Comments

Bringing the Spain back home, Kate Spain’s new line Fandango does an absolutely fabulous job!  After living in Spain for two months myself, this line hits right to my heart, reminding me of the color tones and architecture all around the country…. ohh how I want to go back to visit!  I love how Kate gave us an extra kick with a little contemporary feel too!


Check out the Fandango Tango quilt kit we’re getting in next week!  It’s made from the Parasols Quilt Pattern by Fig Tree Quilts.. super cute!

Hi everyone! Hope you’re all enjoying summer to its fullest. It’s been a busy one around here for sure and I am so happy that it’s August now because that means…Fandango yardage will be shipping! You probably already know that a “Fandango” is quite a snappy Spanish folk dance (ya, it’s not just where you buy movie tickets), complete with castanets, hand clapping and foot stamping.

While I’m not much of a dancer (two left feet on the dance floor) I had such fun letting my pencil dance across the page when I began sketching concepts for this line!

I also wanted to include my love for making pottery and some of the beautiful motifs on hand made decorative tiles from afar.

The colors for Fandango were largely inspired by some tiles I bought while traveling in Mexico. When I saw them, I fell in love with the earthy combination of gold, celadon and terra cotta.

  3. I love that tin! Seriously, if I don't win I want to buy one but it would be awesome to win. It contains two of my favorite Moda fabrics. I've already made two quilts with Fandango and I'm glad yardage came out so I can do the binding.

  5. I would loveto own my first candybar tin! I have been waiting forever for Fandango to be released, it's just beautiful!

  9. I have loved Fandango since I saw the first glimpses! In person (b/c I bought a charm pack as soon as I could) the colors are so lovely and the patterns are fantastic!

  16. I LOVE this line! I already have a charm pack, jelly roll, and layer cake, but I would make some room for a candy bar! I'm addicted!

  18. I love the inspiration!!! The tin is just super cute. But the fabrics!!! Oh, the fabrics – wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.

  19. I only recently started sewing and for me all the fabrics are gorgeous, can't say which is even more beautiful than the other. The tin is awesome!

  21. Yes, this is such a wonderful modern set of prints and colors! I have the parasols pattern, and I saw the finished product on the FQS website! I might have to make this one! It looks amazing!

  22. I love Kate Spain fabrics, so new, so fresh, so attactive. I also love the little tin box with a house where I see many quilts with these fabrics.It's the third time I try to send you my message( it's also the first time I use this way to communicate)I hope you'll can read it.

  23. Spain – I hope in this lifetime I can visit the country and see their football team play in a competition. Ok – that does not sound right but am are head over heels of Torres, fabregas, that new guy who scored big in the past World Cup.

  24. Would love to win the tin with the candy bars! It looks so yummy.

  26. I've never used the candy bar precut, so I'd love to try it them out. The two-fer giveaway is a real treat. Kathie L in Allentown

  28. I love the Fandango line. I am going to make a table cloth with these fabrics. The colors just mesh together so beautifully.

  32. Beautiful! Thanks for featuring this great line.

    I love all the inspiration I get from your blog. Your designer features have introduced me to a whole new world of fabrics, many I would have passed up in the store before.

  33. I have been thinking about fandango since I first saw it on Kate Spain's website. Trying to think about what I would like to do with it… Hmm….Thanks for the giveaway.

  40. I've been obsessing a bit over Fandango and Breakfast at Tiffany's (I'm dying for both of them to have yardage out!).

    Thank you for sharing some of the inspirations!

  41. I just picked up a charm pack of Fandango at my local quilt shop this week. Lovely colors! I adore that cute Moda tin and even more so that it contains my 2 favorite new fabric line. I would LOVE to win this!

  42. I love all the different pre-cuts. They're definitely my weakness. I also Kate's fabric lines – past and present. She has such great color sense.

  46. Love the idea of the candy bar. Thought there couldn't be another way to precut fabric. Candy Bar is a neat name.

  62. These colors and patterns are setting off sparks of inspiration! Would love to win the candy bar tin and play and play!

  63. Those are great looking fabrics! Thanks again for hosting these give-aways. Love the tin too,

  65. I received a Fandango charm pack a few weeks ago and already planning a quilt. Sifting through the pack it took me back to the days of tapas in a Spanish city. I would love to win!

  66. I love the fabric, I also love the tin! This would be so pretty sitting on my desk 🙂
    No, seriously, can I buy that tin somewhere?

  68. I've been waiting for Fandango! I'm in love with this line, it's gorgeous. I'm planning to make a cathedral quilt with it.

  70. Thanks for the giveaway. I love fandango. I have ordered some charm packs from you but would lvoe some more. I am very tempted by the kit.

  77. Love the colors of Fandango and just saying the name out loud:) Cute tin for the candy bars. Great giveaway! Many thanks!

  80. I would love to own a candybar tin! I have been waiting forever for Fandango to be released. I just love the colors and patterns. Thanks

  81. Fandango is perfect for those pinwheels in the quilt you showed. And I've been drooling over Breakfast at Tiffanys, so please pick me!!

  85. I was lucky enough to quilt two Schnibbles made from Fandango for one of my clients. I fell in love with it! As luck had it I also won Fandango from Carrie (Miss Rosie) so that was it….I have an order placed in your shop for backing and binding to complete a large lap quilt of this line! I love it!! PS. Could always use more.

  92. Wow! What a great giveaway! I love Fandango and Fig Tree both! Thanks — I hope I win! (Is this cute set in the tin available to order as well? Hope so!)

  93. Love the fabrics of course, but the tin…the tin is adorable. So for all the losers, will this tin be available to buy?

  98. Love the fabrics and the precuts. I find it harder to cut a lot of fabrics at once with my hands, so the precuts are a great way to make something wonderful without the pain.

    Debbie

  99. I've already ordered yardage and I can't wait to order the Fandango Tango Quilt Kit when it comes out! Thanks for the great giveaway!

  100. Oh, please share some of this lush sweetness with me!! Love these two lines and would give them a very happy home!!

  146. Fat Quarters does an excellent job bringing the quilter closer to the designers. Seeing the inspiration tiles that lead to Fandango feels like being let into a little secret. It makes picking out Fandango yardage that more personal. Thanks FQ!

  155. I think Kate Spain is quickly becoming my favorite designer! Everything she does is just lovely, isn't it?

  164. This is another fabulous giveaway! The colors in this set are great! Not normally colors that I use, but I am so drawn to these! And the tin is too cute! Love it! Can't wait to see who wins it! Thanks for all you do for quilters!

  165. I would love to win. Would make a wonderful retirement gift as I will be retiring friday 3Sep after 30 years at the same job.

  168. I am currently surrounded by Fandango as I design a new quilt for it. The fabric makes me feel so happy and I want to revisit spain.

  169. Inspiration and motivation are now found in this vibrant selection of fabrics. Im sure its whispering to me…Spanish Sensation.

  297. What a fun collection and such a charming tin. I love little containers like that. The rectangles seem like they would be great for making 4-patches.
