All Printed Patterns Are Now BACK IN STOCK!

Last up for this round of Art Gallery Fabric lookbook quilts is my Chevron Stars quilt! This quilt was made for the Charlotte fabric collection lookbook designed by Bari J. Bari J. is originally from Chicago but now lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with her family. Her love of crafting and art was inherited from her mother, and has grown into what we see today! Bari J. designs fabrics, as well as art prints, home decor, accessories, and more.
The Charlotte fabric collection is inspired by the southern city Bari J. currently lives in. You'll see bright, vivid colors in true Bari J. fashion with large-scale floral motifs.
I knew I wanted to use my Chevron Stars pattern for this quilt because the bright colors of the Charlotte fabric collection paired with the large stars in the quilt design would allow each print to really stand out! Since the stars of Chevron Stars are each made of one fabric and not mixed and matched, you get to see more of the prints together and get a better illusion of the Xs in the middle of the stars too.
I paired these beautiful floral and plaid fabrics with a darker background fabric for my quilt. I am typically a fan of white background fabrics in my quilts, but I love how this color plays off of the fabrics so well! The Art Gallery Fabrics Pure Solid color Night Sea does a great job of making the colors in Charlotte POP.
To finish this Chevron Stars quilt off, I went with a lighter color backing and binding fabric. I didn't want the quilt to feel overly dark since the fabric collection is so fun and vibrant! I went with the AGF Floral Elements in the color Ballerina. I love the Floral Element blender fabrics because they give just the right amount of texture without overwhelming you! I used the same Ballerina fabric for the binding to bring some of that lightness over to the front side of the quilt.
I am so happy with how this Charlotte fabric collection Chevron Stars quilt turned out! I loved getting to play around with Bari J.'s fabrics and see her artistry up close. This fabric collection packs a punch! And of course I loved having another reason to make a Chevron Stars quilt. :)
