Sunday Stash #2 - Quilting Fabric

June 14, 2015

I went up to the coast to visit my sister the other week so of course I had to make a pit stop at East Coast Fabrics.  East Coast is my favourite fabric store, mainly due to the crazy prices you can get amazing fabrics!  Most (about 90% or so if not more) of their quilting fabric is under $9.95/m.  Now, that might not seem cheap to people living in the US, but considering the retail of Robert Kaufman fabrics is Australia is about $20/m under $9.95 is nuts!  Sadly East Coast doesn't seem to stock Moda, but that is about the only brand of quilting fabric I have never seen there.

East Coast also have a wonderful range of dress making fabrics but this time I stuck to the quilting fabric section.

The first fabric I got was this Princess and the Pea fabric from the Quiet Time range by Tamara Kate for Michael Miller.  I totally adore it.  I bought enough of it for the backing of a baby quilt because that is where I can see myself using it.

Next I grabbed this Timeless Treasures bias black and white stripe for binding.  I really like the bias stripe for the biding.  Plus you can never go wrong with black and white stripes for binding.  Though this fabric does hurt my eyes if I look at it for too long!  Thankfully that will be solved when it's cut for binding width.

I also grabbed 1/2 a metre each of these two teal dots (The left has no selvedge info, the right is by Jaycyn for Birch Fabrics).  Teal is up there as one of my favourite colours and there was no way I could leave them behind.

I'm also linking up with Molli Sparkles for Sunday Stash today.

    1. Striped bindings are the best! Closely followed by dots! But a teal stripe may be the best!

  3. Can't go wrong with your pretty stash additions! Love the idea of using the princess fabric for the back of a baby quilt and that stripe fabric for some quilt binding (huge fan of Red Pepper Quilts and her use of stripe bindings). Of course the clincher for me is the dottie fabrics. I can not resist dots. EVER. lol Happy stitching with your lovely new fabrics!
