Hi everyone, and welcome to my stop on the Jaftex 85th Anniversary Blog Hop! If this is your first time stopping by, I’m Sylvia and I’m primarily a modern quilter. I also love to make science-inspired quilts!
When I was asked to participate in this blog hop, I knew right away that I wanted to play with Peppered Cottons, as I’d had my eye on some of these for a while. They are shot cottons, meaning that the warp and weft threads of the fabric are different colors, and this gives them a near-solid appearance while adding a little bit of softness and interest to the look.
Many of my quilts have a large expanse of background fabric, so working with fat quarters is always a challenge for me. However, this line has a lovely range of neutrals, and I decided to combine them into a pieced background and just add a little pop of color. Since I’ve had Dresden Plates on my mind lately, I decided to make fat Dresdens. Here’s the quilt I came up with:
The chevrons reminded a friend of mine of the Rocky Mountains, so “Mountain Rainbows” is it for the title of the quilt!
The Dresdens were machine appliquéd on using an invisible thread, but unfortunately, as soon as I started quilting, the stitches began popping, so I had to go back and restitch them all down by hand. I quilted swirls into each colored wedge, which involved a lot of color changes and thread burying, but was so worth it.
The rest of the quilting was straight line quilting following the chevrons, but I skipped every other line or so, and it really adds to the texture. I used my walking foot for this part. You can see it nicely in this photo:
For the backing, I used leftover colorful fabrics from the Dresden Plates. I rather like the color block effect!
The fabrics are really soft and have a lovely drape; I actually starched them fairly heavily to make accurate piecing easier. However, they are a nice weight and not overly thin. This is my favorite color—light blue crossed with purple, and it almost shimmers.
My favorite part of this quilt is the binding. I decided to continue the background gradient into the binding. I had never matched up colors at an angle before, and it was definitely a challenge, but there was just nothing else that would have quite worked the same.

I love your quilt. If I win these I will make a quilt for my daughter. I don’t know the design.
I follow you by email and I am going to start following you on IG
The birthday blog has brought me to many wonderful blogs. Your gallery is stunning! I appreciate how you shared your process in the blog. I have been loving the P C’s since the first color group came out. I have been seeing letters, colored chalk on a blackboard.
I will be adding my second entry via email.
I just love your work! Added your site to my bookmarks and love your Paper Craness quilt. Would try starting with that if I won. The cranes are very special as I am a third generation Japanese American and haven’t found too many patterns for cranes-paper pieced or otherwise. Thanks for the giveaway! akronne17(at)gmail (dot) com.
I would make a rainbow quilt.
Love your design and I really like your quilting. I enjoy studying how other people quilt. It gives me ideas for my own work.
Your binding is great. Just how did you manage it—sew until you get near the next color then add to the binding?? It would be fun to use this bundle trying your binding idea. Thanks
Wow! Another beautiful quilt!!! This collection of fabrics is beautiful and if I were the lucky winner, I’d make a quilt. Thanks for sharing in the hop!!
I am following you now via Instagram (@winkowl) and via Bloglovin!! Thanks for an extra chance!!
I have a whole list of baby things in my head.. my daughter in law is due April 1st!! The quilt is stunning.. the binding.. I can’t even imagine what was involved with that matching!

Love your quilt, I would like to make it if I win! Thanks
Beautiful! Elegant in it’s simplicity. A winner!!
Boy, it would be hard to top this but a Science Fair type quilt came to my mind first for these fabrics.
Great photography too.
Just started following via IG.
Love the dresdens on your quilt and label. Great design. I have never used peppered cottons in a quilt, would love to make a table runner.
I love the way you quilted the dresdens. The first think I thought of to make with these fabrics is a modern maple quilt.
I follow you on bloglovin.
I follow you on bloglovin….happyness04431@yahoo.com
I would make 2 totes one for my self and one for my mom……..Love your quilt….happyness04431@yahoo.com
I think I’d make a neutral background wall quilt with the colors made into something 3d, like rosettes. I miss summer gardening so this would give me flowers.

What a beautiful quilt! This fabric makes beautiful dresden blocks and I love them, I will definitely have to try them. Thanks
I love that you gave each fabric a highlight of it’s own. I would love to make a quilt in a bit of a different fashion. Maybe grouping them together with neutrals and brights in the same blocks and hopefully still get an organized quilt pattern
I like your style, I just signed up for your email list
I think you really nailed your quilt with the name. Love it. Love the placement of the dresdens, everything! And the detail with the binding. I probably wouldn’t even think of that but it really sets the quilt right. Thanks.
I love your quilt
and have been wanting to try shot cottons. I did buy a Kaffe charm pack but, it is still waiting.
Of course, I would make a quilt if I won your giveaway
thank you

I love the way you matched the binding to the chevrons. I would use the fabrics in mini projects. I think they would add nice texture instead of plain solids.

I am so impressed that you made that beautiful quilt from fat quarters. I have a new paper piecing pattern that I would like to try, and doing it in a rainbow of colors with varying backgrounds is an idea that is starting to percolate. This is why I like to follow blogs, inspiration around every corner.
I follow you by email. I’m glad I found your blog as I like to make science inspired quilts as well. Also I just completed a dresden plate project. I used 22.5 degrees, but yours are larger and I love them!
What would I make with those lovely fabrics? Think I’d carry on with the dresden theme. Thanks for the tip about “starch”. I know the peppered cottons are thicker than the Kaffe Fasset version. His line really need stabilization (I’ve added interfacing – yikes!)
Wow! So many ideas, I’m so glad I’ll be able to follow all the blogs. Never thought to use the Dresden pattern like that, it sets everything off beautifully! ( I’m following via e-mail and Twitter, I don’t want to miss anything😊) my first Blog Hop has been fascinating and I don’t want to lose any of it. Thank you for this opportunity☺️
I have been wanting to make a quilt with HST with one neutral and various colors, so that would be my choice. I love your binding!
I think the fabric would be wonderful for a baby quilt and I love to make bags, so may be a bag or 2 also.

Really unique Dresden plates!! It really made the colors pop. Might try something like it if I win. Thank you.
Your binding impresses me–I got a headache trying to figure it out! And I like the dresden label.

I’d be making some new cushion covers.
Wonderful use of color! Your science background is always, though sometimes more subtle, visible in your quilts, and this is no exception. I have loved shot cottons since I was a little girl, and these are no different. I would have to make rainbow flying geese flying across a stormy (the neutrals) sky… or perhaps neutral geese flying across a sunset or sunrise… maybe two smaller quilts! Endless ideas! Thank you so much for a chance to win a collection of these fabulous fabrics.

I absolutely love your quilt front and back! I’d make a throw for my mom – she loves shot cottons as much as I do. Thanks for the chance to win!
You answered every question I had about these gorgeous peppered cottons–it’s like you were reading my mind. Now that I know they are not as thin as some other shot cottons, I think I would make a flying geese-patterned quilt, something I could tuck under when I want to read on quiet afternoons this winter. Or spring, depending on how quickly I quilt.

Awesome quilt – very unique. I love bright fabrics so I’d easily use those in my many appliqued wall quilts. Not so sure about the neutrals. Maybe a pretty table runner to be given as a gift.

You really made a beautiful quilt with your fat quarters. I would love to use these fabrics to make totebags. I think they would be very striking.
I’d make a quilt, but other than that, I don’t know. I love that you used a quarter dresden for you quilt label.
I have no doubt I would make a quilt just don’t know what pattern. I’ve seen some true creativity so far. Your quilt is wonderful.
First, I have to say that I LOVE your quilt!!! the Chevron background, the great pop of colors in the Dresden blocks, and your quilting is just perfect!! And that binding: WOW!!! I don’t think I would have ever figured out how to continue the diagonal of the blocks in to the binding! And if I won the bundles, I think I’d probably make your quilt (if you would let me do so): why reinvent the wheel?! Congrats on a beautiful quilt!! Hugs, Helen in Healdsburg

Gorgeous project and the quilting is fantastic. I have been wanting to work with the Peppered cottons for a while. I was thinking a Lone Star but your project makes me want to use that dresden ruler that I could not live without and has never been out of the package!

That is so pretty mixing neutrals with a pop of color. I would never have thought to try that. I’m in awe of the binding too. So complicated!

Beautiful quilt. I love the dresden fans and the way the set off the chevron mountains. The quilting is beautiful. I would make a donation quilt for one of our local charities.
what a fabulous quilt! the matched binding just finishes it off perfectly.
I have no idea what I’d make, I’ve been searching around for a good pattern to make using all solids, so maybe I’d go that route.
I follow you on Feedly. I know that wasn’t one of the options, but I don’t use Blogloving.
With all those rainbow colours, I think that is the way to go, maybe rainbow beach shacks along the sand and surf with a palm tree or two and surfboards. Would love a chance to see what would happen if I won them. Love your curly cues you quilted into your Dresden plates.
I think these fabrics would look great in an Amish style quilt. Love what you did with the Dresdens.
i have a new little great-great nephew who needs a quilt. this would be perfect!!!
I love your Rainbow Mountain quilt! I’m in the process of cutting fabrics for a scrappy New York Beauty quilt and the solids would add to the beauty of it, I know!!

I would love to make a quilt for one of my nephews, or possibly my husband, similar to yours! My husband loved rainbows when he was a kid, and it has a masculine feel to it. It’s beautiful!
Those bright colors would go into a sharing quilt for an Indian reservation in AZ I like your idea of a Dresden plate rainbow over the mountains.

I absolutely love Pepper Cory’s peppered cottons and I love your quilt, the back is as beautiful as the front. I’d love to use the fabrics in a quilt pattern called Percolate.
I would probably make a modern looking quilt, maybe using a dresden template. By the way, love the Trees & Gnomes quilt and the aqua Flying Geese quilt. It’s beautiful.
I just signed up to follow your blog by email. Thanks!
I love this quilt! Especially the dresden on the back! A nice unexpected surprise! Each stop on the hop had asked what I would do with this fabric and each time I come up with something different. It is so beautiful and lends itself to many styles and would be beautiful just sitting in my shelf. 🙂 I can see a fun bouncy ball design quilt… For A fun loving kidlet… Where’s my graph paper…
Always a quilt!
I want to make some free form winter trees having been inspired by Helen Howes.
If I should be the lucky one to win these, I would make a lap quilt for my family room. We are in need of a new one. Thanks
I have given away most everything that I have made..my home deserves some nice treatment. Table runner and a wall quilt would be wonderful for us all to enjoy!
Sylvia, I cannot tell you how impressed I am by your outstanding binding. I’ve given it some thought and cannot imagine how you did that. All I can say is: Wow! I don’t think I would ever even attempt something like that. Your quilt is gorgeous!
I would make a bright, colorful quilt for my first grandchild, very unlike the pale pink one I made that matches her bedroom. I’d also make a matching wall hanging so there could be some bright colors in her room. Thanks for the inspiration, I am going to do this for Christmas.
Your quilt is stunning! I have 2 half yard pieces of Shot Cotton myself. So far I’ve just “pet” and admired them. If I were your lucky winner of the wonderful FQ Bundles, my Shot Cotton stash would have some playmates with which to make a pretty quilt! Thanks for sharing your inspiration and for the giveaway opportunity.
P.S. Oops. I meant PEPPERED COTTON!

I love how you worked the dresden plates in this quilt, very pretty, and colorful.
I have always wanted to make a dresden plate quilt, so I will probably use these fabrics for it.
Oh my, your quilt is fabulous!!! Love the way you worked the binding in to the chevron colors – you did an amazing job!!! LOVE IT!! I want to copy it even!!! That’s what I would make if I won 🙂

Love the peppered cottons. Think it would be fun to do in a log cabin quilt.

I would make a quilt for charity. Thanks!
I’m a new Bloglovin follower. Thanks!
I have a Jenny Doan pattern in mind for these fabrics. I don’t often work with solids so it would be fun.

A wall quilt of some sort.
What a lovely quilt 🙂 The back is as nice as the front! I’d love to make a quilt too if I won x
This is such a gorgeous quilt, fantastic job! I’d like to make a quilt with these if I win too.
Wow, what a beautiful quilt. And I am in awe of your binding. You rock!
Thanks for the chance to win. I have never worked with shot/peppered cotton, nor solids and have no idea what I make but I am quite certain inspiration will strike quickly if I win.
Oh my! I have several designs waiting to sew!
I think the Peppered Cottons would make a nice masculine quilt for my husband. veeveebug@aol.com
Very beautiful quilt!! If I won this bundle I’d make a quilt, of course. Thanks for explain what a shot cotton is. I never knew and always wondered.

I want to make a quilt that’s very modern and colorful.
I’d make a quilt… maybe log cabin? I’m bad at deciding ahead of time.
I would make little stuffed pigs. 😀
I follow you on instagram.
I would make a rainbow quilt. The pattern has been stuck in my head for a long time. Love the special touch on the back.
I would add it to my boy’s quilts for charity box and the colors would be perfect.
Love your modern take on the dresden. I’d love to make a new throw for myself with these fabrics.

I think I would create a quilt with a color wheel/color theory influence. really like how you created the back fabric.
My nephew is off to college next next so I need to get working on his quilt. these peppered cottons just scream male quilt to me so there they would be.
I love the colors! Thanks for hosting and helping to celebrate!

Lucky you – I have been eyeing Peppered Cottons for some time now. Would love to have some of them to make a quilt called Ribbon Candy by GE Designs. Enjoy your blog!
I think a Christmas quilt is on my mind for these lovely fabrics after seeing you colorful rainbows. I can just see many colored lights reflecting off tinsel.
I will be following on email. I am always interested in quilting decisions of others and how they turn out.
Not sure what I would make. I really like the bright colors, but those browns are a challenge for me. I could definitely use the variety is small projects like zipper bags and notebook covers and fabric baskets.
I would make a child’s quilt since the fabric is soft.
Your quilt is fantastic and very creative-great use of the wonderful colors in the fabric! I have a recent attraction to Dresden designs and might use the fabrics to make them into a quilt.
I am starting to follow you by email.
I would love to use these in a quilt for my oldest son. He is the only one I have not had a chance to make one for yet.
I would use these fabrics to make a star quilt. bestbelle2010@aol.com

I would like to make a log cabin quilt with that fabric. That would look good I think.
Thank you for the explanation of shot cottons. I’ve heard that term, but didn’t know what it meant. I love dresden quilts – so many layout possibilities beyond the traditional. Awesome quilting!!
This has been an amazing hop! Your patchwork and quilting are amazing & I think that blue with purple crossweave is likely my favorite too. I am re-visiting blogs on this final day, and finally entering for the grand prize! I would love to share winnings with my LQS, Quiltique!
Well dang. I want to make the quilt YOU just made! That is gorgeous. I have a couple of other quilts on my “to do” list that call for solids, which would also be perfect. I do love the look of solid blocks of color in a quilt. Nicely done!!
What a lovely quilt design–so fresh and original! Those fabrics look great for placemats and mini minis.
The quilt you made is just gorgeous! I love how you used the Dresden plates to simulate the mountains and the color saturation of these fabrics is pure beauty! I would love to have a bundle to make a fence rail quilt to curl up under to wait out the winters we have here in the Northeast.
I’m following you on Instagram!!
Your rainbow mountains are so pretty! I’d make a quilt with the fabric.

I’d make a quilt. Love your backing!
I love your quilt. I would make a quilt for my daughter who is getting married in Jan.
Your quilts are so creative! I love shot cottons and would love to try these Peppered Cottons. I would use them to make a modern quilt that focuses on the luster of the fabrics.
