My BFF Robin tempted me a few weeks ago with a Missouri Star Quilt Co. tutorial called
"Crosswalk". Jenny had a really cute fabric she was cutting up so I made it my mission to
get something cute too. I think Robin might be using strips from her stash :)
It's a really easy quilt to collect fabrics for. You need 1 jelly roll, 2 5 inch charm packs (or cut your own) a white to match your charm pack and then a border print. I found this "Gooseberry" jelly roll on my last trip to Florida and what's nice is the shop had yardage laid out with it so I grabbed some polkas (naturally) and instead of buying charm packs, I opted to use Kona Snow since I have an entire bolt.
I did all my strip sewing and cutting.........
Started attaching the side triangles...............
Here's the unit.....just trim off the sides. And then threw a few up on the design wall to see how I like the look. I'm thinking I like it a lot.
I find this fabric line to be reminiscent of a Bonnie and Camille collection. The scallops, the dots, a large floral pint....and even the same colorway. Irregardless, I like it and as will be going back to sewing more units.

I absolutely love your fabrics and this block! Can't wait to see it all done!
Yes, really cute blocks and does look somewhat like "Bonnie & Camille". I love all their fabrics though! This looks like a great top in the making Peg.
