Today we start a brand new series of beautiful kitchen tutorials in Bonnie & Camille's Vintage Modern collection for Moda Fabrics, which is hitting the fabric shelves right now, both in store and online! We call the series Kitchen Confections because each one is a delicious bite size project with plenty of sweet style. "But, aren't 'Vintage' and 'Modern' mutually exclusive?" You ask. (I always listen when you ask questions.) Not at all! It's a delightful blend of old and new. You get the prettiest patterns, reminiscent of old-fashioned goodness, but with a new twist that makes it all fresh and fun. This collection has six colorsways (Sky, Pebble, Cream, Candy Apple, Melon and Pear) with 40 quilting weight prints and 10 flannels, plus Fat Quarters, Fat Eighths, Layer Cakes, Charm Packs and Jelly Rolls. Wow! Thanks to Bonnie & Camille's great sense of style and design, it is mix-and-match heaven. In fact, there are so many fabrics to love, we ended up incorporating several patchwork techniques into our projects in order to allow us to inject as much variety as possible. Today, we kick off the series with a set of reversible placemats. Each one features unique fabric combinations for the front, back and binding; yet the patchwork feature band is the same on all, which ties the whole set together. We show you how to make a 'strata' so this common patchwork band is fast and easy.
