Alexander Henry "Rose Tattoo" fabric


Alexander Henry "Rose Tattoo" fabric
Originally uploaded by Mellicious.

Hey, I posted an entry with no pictures yesterday, did anybody notice? Can't have that! So here's one of the fabrics I bought for your viewing pleasure. (I have no idea how these fabrics are going to fit into the Muertos quilt - I just thought they were awesomely cool, and they fit in with the ideas I have so well. They may end up being on the back.)

One reason I bought the two fabrics with the roses is because I realized I have to put red into this quilt. One of my grandmothers just adored red, and I can't see how I can do a quilt that's a tribute to my grandparents without having red in it. (I was originally thinking of a palette with really pure brights - that is, cyan/magenta/yellow - but I have already backed off of that.) I was talking about putting marigolds into it already, so I was thinking that I would just add a red flower to the mix occasionally. Red goes well with yellow/orange, anyway. So now I am thinking black background, yellow-orange-red flowers around the edge, and inside that, anything goes, as long as it's bright!

(No, I have no clear idea what's going in the middle yet. Pictures, and of course there has to be a skeleton in there someplace, this is Dia de los Muertos we're talking about. But exactly what it's going to look like? I'm not there yet.)



(More of my skull-print purchases here, here and here.)

I love that Rose tatoo fabric, did you get it online? The only fabric shop in my town that carries Alexander Henry Fabrics would only carry the tamer ones.

I got it from the Virginia Quilter:

(Wow, that's a long url. Go for virginiaquilter.com, if that one doesn't work.)

Weird, I had posted an answer the other day, and I can see it on this page but I can't see it anywhere else.

So anyway, I got it from The Virginia Quilter - virginiaquilter.com.

(Sigh. And now, of course, they're both showing up!)

Thanks for your help! I ordered my fabric on Friday. I think I am going to make a tote bag (from DS quilts) with the Rose Tattoo on black fabric.

Oh, that'll be cute!
