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!
Nice choices for surrounding fabrics.
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.
You’ve inspired me again! This is wonderful
Ohhhhh…It brings back memories of my wonderful trip to Australia!
I can also envision this marsupial-themed fabric in a child’s quilt!
Wow for both….Hip Hop and Cascade. Hello from (now) sunny France!
