I was thrilled to be asked, and more than happy to oblige, to make a quilt for Laurie Wisbrun (of the Scarlet Fig fame) from her second line of fabrics called Urban Circus by Robert Kaufman.
.
The fabrics are bright and cheerful, and are printed on lovely quality cotton. Suitable for fun clothing, pajamas, bags, bedding, pillows and of course quilts!
This is a really simple design, using large Half Square Triangles (9 inch blocks) so as to feature the prints in the range. Some of the Half Square Triangles are pieced from smaller triangles to add detail to the overall design.
I have used some of the left over fabrics to piece the backing.
Urban Circus by Laurie Wisbrun is hitting the shops right now!
I am also pleased to tell you that Laurie has asked me to give away, on her behalf, a Fat Quarter Bundle of Urban Circus fabrics to my readers.
What's more Charlie and Lindsay from Hawthorne Threads:
and Cynthia from Fabric Worm:
have both kindly offered to giveaway another bundle of Urban Circus Fat Quarter.

I love this fabric! I discovered it accidentally when a customer was requesting a custom order with giraffes in it....I didn't know if I'd find any fabric with giraffes but stumbled on the green one and thought it was perfect - needless to say they didn't like so it so I didn't get a chance to work with this fabulous looking fabric...I'd love to have my own bundle, though!!! I love the quilt you created - so simple and so neat looking!!!
