| Mardi Gras Magic |
I used the Island Batik Fabric Line, Wild Blooms. Designed by Kathy Engle, it should be available in stores in May 2023.
I used Hobbs Black Batting, quilted using my walking foot and used a medium purple binding.
Mardi Gras Magic finished at about 60" by 80".

These colors are so wild and vibrant and they really pop on a black (Island Batik Solid) background.

Thanks to Island Batik for the gorgeous fabrics, thanks to Golden Peak Media for publishing the quilt/pattern and thanks to Paul who is always ready to party with me - rain or shine :-)
According to Angela, the RSC color for March is Green. Absolutely fitting for St. Patrick's Day celebrations. No green beer for me, just bright green blocks in Island Batik fabrics :-)
Sharing with all my favorite linky parties (see full list on the sidebar), including Angela's.
Wishing you all a very Happy St. Patrick's Day. Do let me know how you are celebrating - fabrics, food or family?
