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!
