90’s Neon Quilt

A couple of people reached out to me about interest in re-making the 90’s Neon Quilt (i swear. I’m not just saying that.), so I am here to tell you all my radical, neon dreams secrets. 


I’ve been going through a whole late 80’s/early 90’s period of reminiscence lately. Don’t worry, i haven’t peg/tight rolled my jeans yet but I mean, its still too hot for jeans in Florida, so…talk to me in November. Anyways, after purchasing some throwback high top Reebok’s, a couple of Trapper Keepers and scouring the internet for Popples lunchboxes it was time to make something neon. The Ruby Star Society Summer Sewalong was the perfect opportunity to let those bright colors sizzle in a neon themed super rad, tubular quillt. 


Since I was using the free RSS Perfect Picnic Quilt Pattern (available HERE), I chose a light background fabric, a variety of black fabrics and lots of colorful Ruby Star Society basic fabrics in bright colors. There are so many different ways of playing around with this pattern, but I decided to go with a neon gradient ranging from Pink to Purple and lots of great color in between. 


I will list my original Fabric List below; however, you may need to modify this pattern if you can’t get your hands on any Ruby Star Society Starry in Neon Pink or Metallic Black. In that case, I am here to offer some ideas for great alternatives to those colors. I also put together some kits using the alternative fabric pulls to make things a bit simplified. I decided to play around with RSS Zip in Black as well as RSS Mushroom in Black (from Alexia Abegg’s new collection Honey).
