I’m slightly partial to all the strawberry fabric you can find everywhere right now, but I love this canvas called Strawberry and Friends by Ruby Star Society.

I had been hoarding the strawberry fabric, but Ruby Star Society recently mentioned they’re bringing it back. They’re going to print yardage of it again. They’re adding new colorways too!

I was first drawn to Susan’s (Hopewood Home) aesthetic style. Her eclectic feed on Instagram is charming, and her fabric choices are one of a kind. I love her quilt inspiration. Her gardens are stunning. And I’ve saved numerous pictures of her home decor for inspiration in my own home.

Sewing my own clothes has been a bit of a sheepish endeavor for me. I’m fascinated by it, yet I hesitate to talk of it with most people. It’s a foreign concept to many people. For many, sewing clothes takes an unreasonable amount of time. Or, it’s something that’s already been done by most people at some point, and the joy of sewing for them is gone.

I had hoped to have about ten of these done by now, but greater things in life are taking up my time these days. Right now, I’ve completed two, and they’re listed in my Etsy Shop. Maybe I’ll have more soon!

My favorite part about quilting is the fabrics. I love the fabrics. The patterns, textures, and colors are beautiful, and when you combine them into a patchwork quilt, everything gets better.

Completely finishing a quilt is taking longer and longer for me. Hand quilting definitely slows down the process, but the flowers in my yard, precious children growing out of nap times, and too many books to read these days are also willingly taking up my quilting time.

If you’re new to quilting, experienced, or if you’re looking to use up 2 1/2 inch wide scraps, I think this is a great block.
