For this quilt I am using just one line of fabric, which I have never done before. I generally don't care to work that way. But this seemed like the perfect project to change my ways. I am using the Sherbet Pips line by Aneela Hoey. These fabrics are just too cute! I especially love the dogs! I had two layer cakes and some extra of my favorite prints (the dogs) to work with, and I needed to cut 475 (475!!) 3-inch squares. I cut most of them during an especially brutal recent Vikings game.
laying out 475 squares one recent night at "our" Lake Superior condo
Just this weekend I decided on binding and backing fabrics, and I got extra yardage from Hannah Johnson Fabrics in Duluth, MN. This summer, I saw that they carried the entire line there, and I was just hoping they would have some left. I had second and third choices in mind, but they did end up having my first choice for backing fabric, so SCORE!!! And they were having a hunter's widow sale, and everything was 20% off, so that was great, too. Since everything was on sale, I just had to pick up this adorable Alexander Henry home dec print as well. I took the rest of their bolt, and I am planning to make a large duffel bag with it. (I think....maybe a purse...hmmm...)
My husband and I each chose a fat quarter just because. This was my choice. You'll never guess what I have in store for this little piece of fabric!! Stay tuned.
