Who can resist the sheer fascination of bubbles? Whether you are attracted to their swirling shimmery colors, the mesmerizing way they move, or something altogether different, bubbles would make an intriguing quilt subject.

You needn’t feel intimidated by the bubbles’ transparency or their dancing colors. You don’t need to be as literal as a scientific illustration (unless you want to).

Here’s a little sample quilt of mine from my upcoming Bling Your Bindings! workshop. I used Kurumi cover buttons and Hoffman Bali Batiks to create my stylized bubbles, giving a suggestion of bubbles rising up into the air or perhaps in an aquarium tank.

And of course, don’t forget that bubbles make a fantastic (and super easy) free motion quilting design!

Whichever direction your quilty bubbles take you is sure to be a splash!
