EXPLORE AMERICA
From Robert Kaufman Fabrics
This new collection from Nashville-based design studio, Anderson Design Group, is equal parts vintage-cool and educational. Inspired by the Masters of the Golden Age of Poster Art, the Group’s designs capture a bygone era of travel (think, pre pre-internet) and offer up a fun, colorful take on geography. The collection includes two large map panel prints, as well as four additional patterns inspired by vintage travel posters.

SEEMS LIKE SCRAPPY: THE LOOK YOU LOVE WITH FAT QUARTERS AND PRECUTS
By Rebecca Silbaugh
From Martingale
Retail: $22.99
A follow-up to designer Silbaugh’s popular Seamingly Scrappy, this book is perfect for the quilter who loves the look of scrappy quilts, but the ease and convenience of pre-cut fabrics. Silbaugh includes tips for constructing beautiful scrap quilts using a broad range of precuts—including hexagons—mixing textures, and adding pops of color. The book includes 14 gorgeously scrappy quilts in a variety of designs, sizes, and fabrics types.

FROSTY WINDOWS
From Pieces from My Heart
Retail: $9.50
The summer months seem like an ideal time to start work on a “frosty” pattern like this new one from designer Sandy Gervais. The quilt is offered in two versions: a light (which finishes to 53” x 53”) and a dark (which finishes to 58” x 58”). The quilt is shown here using Gervais’ Very Merry fabric collection for Moda.

LITTLE BIRD
From Camelot Fabrics
This new collection from Camelot Design Studio (shipping in October 2015) is the epitome of soft and sweet. Little Bird includes loosely illustrated birds and toadstools (yes…they’re really just mushrooms, but doesn’t “toadstool” sound fancier?), in addition to smaller print confetti dots, stripes, and rick rack. And the entire collection features a subtle color palette of soft pinks, mint greens, stone gray, taupe, and white.
