🎨 Color Inspiration: Cream + Crimson

For the cover quilt, I chose cream and crimson—a color palette that instantly brings Alabama to life.

These classic hues reflect the rich traditions, pride, and timeless Southern style that the state is known for. The contrast creates a bold yet elegant look that works beautifully in both modern and traditional fabric selections.

Pro tip: This palette also looks stunning in solids, batiks, or even subtle prints!

💛 A Personal Connection to Alabama

Alabama holds a special place in my heart—I lived in Montgomery for a year after college when I began my career in the automotive industry.

Some of my favorite memories from that time:

🐬 Watching dolphins off the Gulf Coast (pure magic every single time)

🛍️ Shopping in Birmingham—where I definitely never left empty-handed. It’s amazing how the places we’ve lived stay with us… and this quilt feels like stitching a little piece of that story back together.
