Yippee, the strike-offs for the second colour way is here and it looks just as I hoped it would. Lovely dark red mixed with a light green and mid grey.
There's six designs in this range. Here is what I called them starting from the left:
- Snails and Ladders: this is a large repeat design at 64 cm but with all the detail I think every inch will create its own special fabrics.
- Bug Spot: cute bugs are caught on a spot and are blowing in the wind defying gravity. Light green spots with mid grey bugs on a warm cream background.
- Bug Wings: the most graphic and textural design of the range. The bugs wings form a dense spot-like pattern in a light green with a tiny splash of a red dot on a light background.
- Beetle Bug: the namesake on the range. The bugs are caught inside bubbles and being tossed and turned in the breeze.
- Running Bugs: I just love running stitch, so I thought I might take a pun with this one! Little Beetle Bugs are crawling along the running stitches to create a stripe. The parallel lines decorate the fabric all over the cloth and the repeat is 64cm. The dashed lines are dark red on cream coloured fabric.
- Bug party: a super dazzling fun fabric playing with the idea of bugs having a great time. Some are flying, while some are caught in a breeze holding onto a leaf as they fly. Other bug's are chasing each other playing games. Dark red with bright red and a lovely orangy yellow.
This range is certainly one I am looking forward to getting printed. I am sure that all these colours will also mix with the colourway I posted a couple of weeks ago. Yep, I took a photo and I think there will be 12 fabrics all up that combine nicely. We will be printing them probably this year, sooner than planned thanks to all the wonderful feedback I have received. Thank you very much.
Though now to decide which colourway comes first? Are you looking forward to the blue and orange version of Beetle Bugs or the red and green version of the Beetle bugs?

I love both the orange/blue and red/green and would love to have some for a baby quilt for my art teacher/friend in the next room!

I love your bugs, and I have grandsons that I think would like them,too! While orange has been my favorite color for years, I think the red, green and grey is my favorite.
Colleen commented on 12-Oct-2010 07:33 AM
I will love them both - but expecially the blue/orange!

I am so excited! I know my expected grandchild will love both colourways, but I also know my daughter would love the red / green first! Well done!!

I love your line! The colors are perfect and the design is so versatile. I think it is so great to see a line that will be as great for boys as girls and home dec. I can't wait to meet it in person!

I must say I totally love them all! I honestly couldn't pick just one colorway. I want them all, I know miss piggy, right? Awesome design!!!
Kate Conklin commented on 11-Oct-2010 06:10 PM
Love love love both of them, but if I had to pick just one range I think it would be the blue one. They look fantastic combined!

These are go gorgeous Saffron!! I love the blue and orange, but I could definately see me mixing the 2 colourways.
P.S. I have just finished making the quilt top for Kate's Dandelion Windows quilt using your Fields Range and I love it!!!

On the basis of that dreamy red alone, I choose that group. These are such fun, besides being beautiful.
Jill commented on 11-Oct-2010 01:27 PM
I vote for green and orange!
Kelli Hynes commented on 11-Oct-2010 12:56 PM
I love the bug wings the best, I can see a new handbag coming on. :)
Diane commented on 11-Oct-2010 12:38 PM
That's a tough question! I love the blue, but I think I love the red & green even more!Especially in the Beetle Bug & bug party prints
cori commented on 11-Oct-2010 11:12 AM
I like the red and green. The fabric collections are great
elsa hart commented on 11-Oct-2010 02:00 AM
it's hard to choose cause they are both wonderful ~ but I just happen to love orange, so I'd have to go for the orange and blue ... still like the red and green tho ...
