And here is the Phillip Jacobs fabric I started with. It is called Brassica and it is the pastel colorway.
Here are some closer shots of the blocks.
I'm very partial to those yellow-y pink-y ones that look like roses and peonies. I've got a lovely tone on tone yellow for the sashing and a deep rose for the cornerstones. I'll let this sit on my design wall a day or two before I start sewing the rows together and see if I want to move any of the blocks around. By now you may be asking where does coleslaw come into this design. Well my oldest son looked at the fabric and the blocks and thought about it and said "Isn't chopped cabbage, coleslaw?" and it is!!! So this is the Coleslaw quilt.
And you would think that sewing up 60 SNW blocks would have gotten this out of my system but I don't think it has. While shopping this weekend my BFF was also smitten with the new Phillip Jacobs fabrics and she found this....
and I could not resist either and bought enough for another 4-patch SNW. I can't wait to see how these will turn out.
Have a great week!
Happy stitching-
carol fun
