I saw this swap yesterday, and I knew I had to join up! When I painted my sewing room and reorganized my stash a few months ago, I realized I basically had a collection of novelty fat quarters. Hardly any solids, no blenders, and a few polka dots. Since then, I’ve made some major fabric purchases to round out my stash.
When I saw this swap, I knew it would be a great way to use some of those fun novelty fabrics I have a preference for.
I just love those turtles. I used them to make a zipper pencil case as part of a birthday gift for a friend’s daughter, along with this great book called The Girls’ Doodle Book. I highly recommend this book for any girl ages 8-11 who likes to draw. Now I only have scraps of the turtles left. Perfect for this polaroid block.
I have relatively few “boy” fabrics in my stash, but the cowboys were just a perfect fit for the 2 1/2 inch center.
And you can’t go wrong with ladybugs and garden gnomes!
I wonder who will end up getting these guys??? Also, I’ve been thinking, how cute would a polaroid quilt be with Aneela Hoey fabrics? I guess I’m going to have to pull out some of my Sherbet Pips and Little Apples scraps and make a few more…so far I have 50 done!!!
Bea and I finished her quilt for Ronnie and will be taking photos today! Stay cool!!!
Jamie sounds like you found a fun swap. You really have some cute fabrics. I wonder who the lucky person will be?

I love your polaroids!!! What a fun swap!! I'm a sucker for novelty prints too, there's just so many fun prints out there. You'll have fun looking through blogs to see who gets your blocks.
ReplyDeleteI recognise some of those fabrics from one of the blocks you sent me :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fun swap.
