Choosing Fabrics

Half the fun of making the Patchwork of the Crosses blocks is picking out the fabrics to use. These are the ones I’ve printed so far but there’s a stack of fabrics that I plan to cut today and get ready to print.

The third block is almost done. While I’m printing fabrics later today, I’ll stitch and hopefully get block 3 done and block 4 started. These are just a few of the fabrics I’ll cut and print today. Some will be fussy cut, some not. I find myself purposely looking or stripes and checks and other fabrics that lend themselves to fussy printing/cutting.

I’ve been asked to write up a pattern for the Butterfly Stars baby quilt. I’ve started to slowly work on that. I hope we got enough pictures of the quilt for the pattern.

  1. Ok, got a question….you said that you are going to fussy cut some of the pieces. Do you have to manually make the piece then or can you still use the software to print on the fabric?Love the fabrics BTWCrispy

  2. Good question Crispy…I want to know too! LOLAnd the nice thing is that you don’t have to have tons of one fabric to make a lovely quilt but get to play will all kinds of combinations.
