Before you run off to start one similar, I have to warn you that the background Parasols fabric is out of print and very hard to find now. Each time I share a photo of this to the Kaffe Fassett Facebook group a lot of people go hunting for the fabric, and end up disappointed. There's no secret stash of it in New Zealand either - I was just lucky to have a friend who bought it when it was first released, but never got around to making this quilt. I bought it off her because I've had the book for years and always loved this pattern.
I've finally applied all my ric rac, and yesterday I appliqued down the centre motifs that cover the points where all the spoke meet. Once those circles are on I could cut away some of the bulk on the back and the quilt lies flat now.
I do love the rainbow ric rac. It just adds to all the craziness!
I still have to find some striped fabric for the borders, and applique more motifs on the edges, but I'm almost finished this top. I'll hand quilt this one because I don't want quilting going over the ric rac.
Now it's your turn to share what you've been up. Feel free to link up a recent blog post in the Peacock Party. Thank you to all the loyal followers who have been linking up week after week. I sense a little community is developing here and appreciate you returning week and week.
