I love your blocks. I assume they are paper pieced. I too am in the dark about the shwe shwe fabric. What is it?

Doggramma 11-15-2019 08:53 AM

That’s going to be a wonderful quilt

Jordan 11-15-2019 09:18 AM

Your blocks are really nice. Love the colors of your fabric but I don't know what shwe shwe fabric is????

toogie 11-15-2019 10:15 AM

I found that block pattern here. I really like it too and wish I had time to try one right now.

Absolutely beautiful piecing.

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!

juliasb 11-16-2019 06:43 AM

This is going to be one beautiful quilt. Your blocks are so pretty and well made!

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

sJens 11-16-2019 03:25 PM

Wow, this is going to be an awesome quilt.

TammyB 11-16-2019 08:53 PM

Absolutely gorgeous. Your points turned out perfect!

sewsue 11-16-2019 08:59 PM

Sharon!! When washed it is very nice and soft. I wash in washing machine and hang on line. Lots of sun here in our country and dont need to use a dryer!!!
