Put a spring in
your step!

ideas for working with the colourway, Waterfall from AGF’s
Color Master Elements
Ideas to inspire
Spring arrived and with it has this gorgeous
Art Gallery Fabrics Color Elements Waterfall
bundle to lift our spirits as we all sit tight
at home. Now is the perfect time to make
something in these gorgeous greens, and
if you can’t go outside, bring the outdoors
inside!
There’s such a lovely selection of prints
and shades in this 16 fat quarter bundle.
From zesty green circles and neon squares
to emerald green florals and aqua triangles,
there’s a shade for every project.
There are so many possibilities with this
beautiful bundle. Why not make a picnic
blanket using blocks such as this pretty
antique star block. We might not be able
to go to the park or beach right now but
you can always have a picnic in your back
garden or on your balcony!
Failing that, it would make a happy
drape for a child’s den. Or just make
one block and turn it into a cushion
or set of cushions – they would look
lovely in your kitchen or on the patio
chairs. This star block comes together
surprisingly quickly as it’s just made
up of half square triangles in a clever
orientation.
If you’re looking for a quick finish, why
not make a set of napkins. You could
add some appliqué detail or add some
embroidery to make them extra special. It’s
always lovely to bring a handmade touch to
the dinner table.
Or why not keep the kids organised and
make a cute patchwork pencil case. It’s the
perfect and stylish way to keep those felt tip
pens and crayons tidy! My daughter
has snagged this one already!
Colour combos
This bundle would also look great
paired with sunny yellows and
oranges, or why not add in hot pinks
for a wonderful tropical feel. With 16
fat quarters to choose from in this
bundle, the possibilities really are
endless!
