Fabric shopping

I haven't seen the inside of a quilt shop in MONTHS and its starting to kill my soul bit by bit.  Pathetic, I know. To be fair I've been really busy with work and family situations.  So enough of that!


Second best thing:  online shopping


 Dot prints are always so amazing.  Is anyone else drawn to them?

I have to make another baby quilt for a baby girl - the nursery is shades of purple and zebra prints.  Any suggestions as to what type of block I should make?  Just patchworky?  help me...

  1. Gorgeous! Go to block for me is pinwheel but patchworky (love this word) always looks great! ;)

  2. My go to. Block for baby quilts is hourglass. I choose a background and then go scrappy within the color way. And simple cross hatch quilting frames a tiny pinwheel at each block intersection. Have fun!

  3. Yummy! I love dots, in fact I was marvelling earlier at all the different dots I'd got in my random fabric mixture for my upcoming bee blocks!

  4. Darling fabrics. I love the disappearing 9-patch. It's so easy. No "little" pieces to piece and yet it looks kinda complicated and "patchworky".

  5. I did a Tiger stripe quilt that looks like zebra in the right colors. It was improv with a few rules as to width so things looked natural. You can totally improv a single stripe of zebras and maybe do the babies name too.
