She's quite a quirky shape but it just seemed to be what she demanded when I made her the other night. The dog is a small bit of Michael Miller's Tammis Keefe tribute dogs in red. The purple and red spots is from Kaffe Fasset. The red and white flowers is something that I scored at the weekend, as I fell in love with it at a strange little haberdashery shop up north in Macclesfield. It had so many fabrics on the bolts, is down in a basement and has been there forever. Plus the lady seemed to add at least an extra 2" onto each half yard of fabric I bought. Hurrah. The solids are from the 'Hurricane Bundle' bought from BackStitch.
I'm quite pleased with how it's turned out, as it was my first time experimenting with different shapes and blocks. I know it isn't a square/ rectangle so in that sense it isn't really a liberated logcabin block. Or perhaps it is so liberated that it couldn't be constrained in that pattern. Hmm... I'm between binding it with a rich green marble print by Moda or going for the pale grey solid that is next to the dog. Any thoughts?
Now I'd better get back to teaching prep and Ph.D. chapter writing. Off to buy some batting and then do the actual quilting on it later today. I am loving having more craft projects on the go in-between my academic work.
