I think the band on this block is probably my favorite fabric in the collection. I have a big soft spot for orange.
I had some softer fabrics left that I did not use in the stars that I decided would make a great scrappy square border which I quickly cut with my Accuquilt GO. Once it was all sewn together with my favorite Aurifil thread and Schmetz Microtex needles I layered my quilt with my favorite Hobbs 80/20 Cotton/Poly blend batting.
When I first read that the Island Batik Ambassadors were to make a crazy quilt using Aurifil Thread for this month's challenge I was not enthused. I appreciate crazy quilts as they are tremendous pieces of art, however, they are a little over the top for me personally. So...what to do?
