I bought this very cute fat quarter pack after Christmas last year. I don't usually love creatures on fabric, but these ones were kind of irresistible. I struggled to know what pattern to use -- I really wanted to make this Merrily quilt, but didn't have enough background fabric. So instead, I made a few of houses from that quilt and then made several blocks with rectangles and put them all together. :)
I did some Lazy 8 quilting. Still working on getting them more evenly spaced and consistently sized. But its still not bad. I do think my stitches are better length (not too long, not too short.)
I am really trying to stick to my goal of not buying new fabric....so I pulled out this hand-dyed (I think) fabric. It is a neat fabric -- with some texture to it. The green color matches well with the fabric on the front. But I think some people might find it an unpleasant color. I love most greens, which is why I bought it, but it is quite pea-soup-like. Nonetheless, it does match and I did not buy more fabric! :)
This is one of my Finish-A-Long Goals for Quarter 3 -- linking up at She Can Quilt.
I loved this line of fabrics and the quirky beasties on it. Great finish - that's one of my go-to quilting motifs. It works so well here! Again, on behalf of the FAL global hosts, thank you for participating and linking up.
