Introducing, Majestic!
Posted by Gerri Robinson on
My latest collection is HERE!
I am so excited for this collection and the new patterns releasing with it! Majestic brings together a bold navy, soft pinks, and a lovely grey as its main color palette.

The dictionary meaning is; to make partial or minor changes to something, typically to improve it or to make it less extreme.
That's exactly what we did with all the quilt designs in my book, Rustic Romance. As a quick refresher, here are the quilts originally designed in Rustic Romance immediately followed by their MOD-ified version sewn up in Riley Blake Confetti Cotton solids.
