More Twirling Fun

This is another one of the sewing projects my Mom and I completed when we were in Pennsylvania. It's made with the Spiral Skirt Pattern from Country Babies Boutique which is similar to the Redondo Pattern, only the panels are slightly narrower.

I think I must have been in a bit of a drunken craze the day I bought all these fabrics (that tends to happen when I go into a quilt shop). There are 6 different fabric patterns, I used 2 panels of each for a total of 12 panels to fit Little K. The bottom edge is finished with black bias tape.

The fabrics are from all different designers. I found the black and white bird print first, which had just a hint of pink...and from there I just kept adding pinks, oranges, green and lots of black & white until I had a stack that looked good together.

I know the designers spend a lot of time coordinating their fabrics so you can buy them together all in one fell swoop...and I have been known to do just that of a collection that I love. But I also love the thrill of bringing a bunch of unrelated patterns together, that have been sitting on the shops shelves, completely segregated from each other, into a beautiful eclectic mix.

I think this one turned out pretty good, and I even have fabric left over, so you may see them re-appear in some other combinations, or at least in a Flower Hair Clip - my current crafty obsession, so stay tuned.
