Your blocks and indigo fabrics are gorgeous! Looking forward to watching this quilt progress.

After googling, I now know about shwe shwe fabrics! The colors that are available are all beautiful. I ran across several pictures of clothing-bridesmaids gowns, etc-made with these fabrics. Stunning.

Please continue to share your progress!

Beautiful and I love the fabric but noticed it said no dryer, no bleach, etc. I would never bleach but wonder about the dryer. Can’t wait to see more of your beautiful quilt!

Shweshwe fabric is something new to me.
If I make this star pattern, I will be doing it with Paperless Paper Piecing. That way you can use the pattern multiple times and don't need to print out so many.

Nell's quilt for Neil ! How nice1
