I've been playing with new fabric this week, Reel Time by Zen Chic for Moda. This is a fun line, and compliments her earlier, wildly-popular fabric line, Comma, perfectly.
The line is inspired by elements and colors from the film industry. I received a layer cake, and didn't even get a picture of all the prints before I started cutting into it. (You can see them all here). The blacks and whites (and greys) really stood out to me, so I sewed up flying geese and half square triangles.
I haven't settled on a layout yet, I feel like it needs more, perhaps some color? Somewhere to rest the eyes? I'm not sure...
But I'm loving it so far. These prints might add just the right amount of color.
Other colors from the line (I LOVE those circle x's).
