Blah Blah Blah Quilt Kit - Memento
💬 Blah Blah Blah: Memento has lots of color, tons of texture, and not a serious bone in its body.

This version of Blah Blah Blah pairs the textural, unexpected colors of Carolyn Friedlander's Memento collection with coordinating fabrics in cobalt blue, olive green, lavender, orange, red-orange, neon, and neutrals. The result is playful and a little weird. In other words, perfect.

💡 Why this kit
Sometimes a quilt just needs to be colorful and interesting to turn your whole day around, from Blah to ... Hurrah!
The Memento collection is full of richly textured prints and unexpected color combinations, making it an especially good match for a pattern that's already a little unconventional. Cobalt and olive meet lavender and neon. Warm oranges and reds bump up against staid neutrals. Every block gets to do its own thing, while the repeated text keeps the whole quilt feeling cohesive.
And because there isn't a separate background fabric pulling everything into a traditional structure, the colors get to take up the whole stage.
The result is graphic, playful, cozy chaos.
This kit keeps it simple:
- No trying to build an interesting color palette from scratch
- No figuring out how many coordinates are too many
- No background fabric to audition
Just a wonderfully strange mix of color and texture, paired with a pattern that somehow cures the BLAH.
🧵 Limited kits
