Marvelous Marsupials

For the last few years I have studiously avoided the lure of aboriginal fabrics. We all know I don’t need another fabric obsession. But I caved in the other day and bought a length of fabric from the “Walkabout II” line by Paintbrush Studios featuring five stylized kangaroos hopping around on a background that included greens and blues. How could I possibly resist?

I decided to put the kangaroos into a wall hanging using my own Full Moon Rising pattern. I’ll be teaching a circles workshop for a quilt guild later this month and figured it would be a good idea to revisit my favorite way of making inset circles.

Here’s another one of those marvelous marsupials:

The two circles above are 5″ in diameter: The one below is 6½” wide:


And here is a look at my completed quilt top, 16″ x 59″:

This little quilt already has a name: Hip Hop.

    How fun is that?? Although I tease you a lot about your (epic) fabric stash, I totally understand why you caved in and acquired this fabric. Love the fabric at each end too. I envision this in your recently renovated master bath. Well done!

    You are evil! How dare you find fabric that I just had to add to my collection of aboriginal fabrics! The only saving grace is that more purple fabrics will be arriving at my place. I really love what you did with your choices. Hip Hop is another fantastic sample of your great pattern.

    I can also envision this marsupial-themed fabric in a child’s quilt!
