Fabric Friday!


I've been waiting for some of the new Paula Prass Botanika to pop up on Fabric Friday. Up this week is a yard of Mod Lattice Seafoam. This would look amazing in my bathroom. I'm just saying. See the entire Botanika collection here.

Botanika contains lovely graphic patterns perfect for so many projects soooo... we are curious... what's your favorite graphic pattern? zebra? chevron? fun polka-dots, preppy pin-stripes? So many to choose from! Leave us a comment on this post telling us what your favorite graphic pattern is and why. Leave your comment anytime between now and next Friday, August 5th. Tweet, stumble, or share on facebook and leave another comment letting us now. Come back every day for new entries. We'll randomly select a winner and announce right here next Friday.
(top photo from Paula Prass website)

Find out who won last week's Fabric Friday after the jump...

This week's winner takes home a yard of Joel Dewberry Heirloom Rose Bouquet in Sky from Fabricworm. And the winner is...

Bekah who said..
I love pansies, because they are so cheerful and bright! They look like they are wearing funny little faces.
Bekah, I know that my mom would want me to tell you that when she was a little girl, she sniffed a pansy so hard that the fragile petals shot straight up her nose. So now maybe you will think of that when you see your favorite flower (and love them even more?) Sorry.
Go ahead and use the contact form to send us your address and Fabricworm will send off your prize!

Good luck!

I'm loving zebra print right now.. I made my dolly the cutest skirt ever out of a gray and white print.. It's so darling with one vertical ruffle and a 'diamond' button which adds some bling to the zebra print. :)

Polka dots appear to be my favorite. I just finished my first quilt (a twin-sized sampler, even!) and it's used a lot of pink polka dots. Should work really well in a little girl's room!

My favorite pattern is probably polka dots or damask. Red or pink with white polka dots and every bright color of damask possible!! So much activity and color that if my mother walked into my house, she would have a seizure. Wow. That was so extreme, it was mean... Picking on my epileptic mom.. Ah, well. If I win the fabric, I'll have to give it to her.

Polka dots, all the way. I love how cheery they are, almost subversively so in otherwise staid quilts. And the best part is that my sweetheart loves them, too, so when I include them in almost every quilt, it makes him ridiculously happy, which makes me happy in return.

Thanks for the giveaway.

I can't decide between the lattice and the canopy stripe. The hot pink stripes would be great for my 5 yr old princess, but the lattice would make something fun for me. And then which color of the lattice? sigh...

it's a hard choice--they are all so cool. but i think my favorite is the mille fleur in meadow--sort of a modern english cottage look...

This fabric is so graphically beautiful!! I'm thinking that it would go awesome as shades in my girl's room. Add into the whole mix the gray zebra stripe fabric that I've been lovin lately and I think it would blend together beautifully!

I love rectangles. They are so much more interesting than squares. Guess they feel less...regular? Less ordinary, less normal? I prefer the offbeat...now this lattice, gonna be my new fav, it's awesome!

And to think that so many Americans believe that we, French people, "set" trends... ;-)

So hard to pick just one! Still, I think in the end I would have to say my favorite is Celtic knotwork. It's hard to find on fabric and I do a little dance whenever I come across a nice one.

I am a beginner sewer. I enjoy mixing patterns. I would normally pick stripes but I'm afraid to sew with stripes. So I have taken a liking to all varieties of polka dots. After more practice I'll tackle stripes.
