It’s always fun to pull fabrics for a Firefly Tote! I love how these Firefly Totes in Orchard Run turned out! Because you can use quilting cotton or really any weight fabric for the Accent (including mid-weight fabrics like Orchard Run!), it opens up a lot of possibilities especially if you stash a lot of smaller pieces of quilting cottons like me!
Big Sur Canvas
I love how the Robert Kaufman Big Sur plays so well with Orchard Run. I really enjoy working with Robert Kaufman Fabrics because of their selection of different substrates. I had always used their fabrics prior to designing.So anyway, feel free to ask me what Big Sur canvases go with Orchard Run and I can help you out. And be sure to check out the specific colors for these totes below!
