Superheroes and a New Project

Today I started a new quilt. It has been on my mind for a couple of months. Ever since I found this uberly  cute Robert Kaufman fabric at my local Beverly's store. It is called Superhero News Paper. When I stumbled upon the bolt of fabric at the store I was not even looking for children's fabric, but I couldn't resist buying it. The colors are vibrant and happy, and the characters so whimsical. Even the selvedge is cute! So I thought I have to make a quilt for my nephew. He is four years old and I'm sure he will get a kick out the comical characters. Plus, what little boy doesn't like superheroes? Right? 
 By the time I left the store I had already planned out the design of the quilt... I love it when that happens. I just hate that it took me this long to actually get started. I'm practicing my improv piecing on this quilt and I made a lot of progress. I'm hoping to show you the finished quilt very soon. I'm really excited about this one :)
Have a lovely week!

  4. I loooove newspaper print - this is just to cute. I especially like the patterns (chevrons, circles) in behind the characters that totally add to the whole modern vibrancy of it all!!! Love to see your finish.
