New season fabrics - Moda's Swell

I found this new collection today. It's Swell, produced by Urban Chiks for Moda and released just this month. It looks to be yet another collection which is celebrating that vintage collection of patterns. Flowers, stripes, plaids, spots placed together intensify the effect of pretty, clean simplicity.

My favourites from this collection include:

Roses are Red on Marshmallow - for the teaming of regular blue polka dots and natural floral forms on a crisp white background.

Oops a Daisy on Marshmallow - I really like the regularity of this design, and the matching of pale pink and red. I have some baby blue prints I can't wait to team this up with.

These gingham/plaid prints have been just what I'm after. The line size is larger than typical, giving an excellent chunky look. It will look awesome when teamed up with a few pretty florals.

I also loved this Trellis in Cherry - the regularity of the design with contrast beautifully with the soft, veluptuous swirls of natural flowers.

I placed an order for a few half yards of each today with the Fat Quarter Shop and I can't wait for them to arrive.
