Modern Mood Quilt Along

Ever since my fascination with mood rings when I was a kid in the 70′s, I’ve been drawn to the symbolic, cultural, and emotional aspects of color. When I came across this mood-color chart (replicated above in hand-dyed fabrics) a light bulb went off… I don’t know about you but I can be moody.
I’ve made each of my kids their own bath towel hoodie when they’re born, starting with my son 6 years ago. I make them one with their name on it and one with a fun appliqued shape on the back. These towels are super easy to make, needing only limited sewing know-how.

This is my favorite thing to do with my little scraps, and since its Scrap Buster month over at Sew, Mama, Sew , I made a quick tutorial so you can make your own. This pillow cover is 16" square with an envelope back & the design possibilities are endless!
