My Robby and The Swoon

10:00 AM

This Wednesday's WIP is dedicated to my beautiful golden retriever Robby. He is six years old and we have him since he was two.

Every afternoon, me and my husband sit on our diy sofa, and watch TV Series, eating sunflower seeds (we are totally addicted to them). Robby is just in love with sunflower seeds. He gets all crazy when we sit on the sofa, because he knows that it is time for a treat.
Back to our WIP. I have been planning to make a Swoon quilt for quite some time now. Deciding on the fat quarters that I would use, was surely a challenge, but an easy one. The main goal was not using white as a background...

Materials

Using the Amy Butler "Soul Blossoms" line of fabric for the stars of the swoon, and for the background I purchased "Sketched" from Timeless Treasures.
I am having a small doubt about this block regarding color value. I am not sure if i picked the right combinations of fat quarters.
For now I am in love with this first block...fortunately all blocks are already cut and ready to sew...so I believe this top will soon be finished.

  1. I think the colors just sparkle.  The blue really makes the fat quarter choices pop.  Definitely something I would choose.  And Robby is just darling!

  5. Thank you Ashley! I' ve had this line for ages, and really did not like it in any quilt pattern...don't know why. But in the swoon they are just glowing!

  6. The "Sketch" line is totally perfect for a semi-solid background. I totally recommend it.
