Fabulous First Timer Round Robin Block Finished
Happy Days!!! Coco (my cat) is much better and I stayed up till 1 am piecing the crazy quilt block for the Fabulous First Timer Round Robin. Here is a picture of both the block and Coco pursuing her full time position of quality control expert.
There isn’t a lot of silky type fabric in this block as most of what I own is for “sane” quilting - lots of 100% cotton. Future shopping expeditions will be focused on locating velvets, silks, and assorted fancy fabric. Oh, I like that idea - shopping for fancies. Something about that phrase is very appealing.
Here is another picture of the block as it will appear in a future project:

Well, that is a great block! Especially love the teal wave in the center. And, by the way, that grey-looking moire is a crazyquilting staple. It is great in piecing and also makes wonderful sashing and/or backing for cq wallhangings.

Im glad coco is feeling better. i wish someone would poach me chicken tenders when im sick! Have fun searching for fancies - beware of panne velvet it is useable but stretchy! Its always fun to look in the bargain bins at fabric shops, because you dont have to worry about fabric type with CQ.
