And, because I have an extra day, I've managed to start cutting up and tracing my designs for the girl ABC quilt from S is for Stitch. Heh - who would have thought I would consider another embroidered quilt? Not me, that's for sure. Hubby spotted the background fabric at Spotlight when we we rummaging around at sale time (read - I was throwing fabric around the store while he pretended desperately to care - even a little bit). Well done him. He also got kudos for using "low volume" correctly in a discussion about fabric.
There was a pink colour way, but I thought the sage green would be better for showing off all the pink and purple stitching.

Here are my Q and R blocks too. I keep changing my mind about my favourites, but these two are pretty high on my list. I chose the colours in the quilt to match the yellow and blue in the border. I used the Quilt (and not the Quarter) design, because here in NZ we don't have quarters. Way to confuse a small child who is learning to read.

I'm linking up to Sunday Stash over at Sarah Quilts to show off my new background fabric. Come and have a look at the other yumminess.

I like the sage background for the girl embroideries. I have not started the girl version yet, I have been sidetracked with some other projects like embroidered pink elephants and a perpetual calendar. Good to hear from you!
oooo looking forward to seeing your next one come along! Love those two blocks too - still tempted to join... still tempted to buy frosted pumpkin samplers... oh the self control... cant last forever ;)
That robot wants to come and live at my house :-)
Good score finding that lovely low volume fabric at Spotlight.
Haha, I cut myself off. I was about to say I hope the epic birthday event was all done and dusted before the epic 'summer' weather got going. Tell Princess I have been working hard on her star quilt today :-)
he's a gem of a quilting hubby! I think the sage green is a brilliant pick. can't believe you're ready for the next one. is it because you finished you BOW 10 weeks early?
happy 4th to princess. and, you, mom. =)
the quilt is quite cute, but I truly heart the robot! i'll have to fight megan for it, I suppose.
You're too funny! 'Poor stash fabrics quaking in their shoes ...' that conjures up the most bizarre images in my head! Liking the sage too - well done, hubby! And a happy birthday to the little one - 4 ... how lovely :)
what a beautiful fabric choice. Can't believe you're starting your next quilt - you will catch me up before I know it! I made some progress - up to O now!
Really adorable Q and R, your husband is a saint.
LOVE that fabric!!! It will look gorgeous with the stitching. Yummy colour and nice LV print, can't wait to see the girly version!
