Simply Color by Vanessa Christenson for Moda fabric bundle, gray background & a couple of added fabrics from stash

What was your inspiration?

I just loved the slightly 70's retro look of the green & aqua fabrics and then the gray to modernize the color scheme. This should be fun to work with for this year's BOM.

I'm really getting into more of the modern look although I couldn't find a solid gray that I liked so went with a slightly patterned fabric

The only thing this bundle is missing is a good purple (which wouldn't work with these fabrics but is one of my favorite colors)

Yes, this was a bundle that Craftsy offered in Oct., I think. Jumped all over it because of the green, aqua & gray prints.
