Robert Kaufman Lumina Fat Quarter Bundle

I've been a bit of a naughty crafter.  I think I need to go to a crafting confessional, but I suspect the queue will be SO long that I will just never get heard, so therefore I will confess to you  :)

You know these sponsored ads that pop up all over your computer? (cleverly done and drag money from your purse)  Well one popped up with a link to Craftsy and in particular a Robert Kaufman quilt kit.

Oh yeah......  bring it on.

Cheap too!       Or so I thought.   Cheap until the whopping great big postage went on just before pressing the "pay now" button.

So, sadly, I shut the page down. Wasn't going to pay all that postage - more than the kit was worth.

By then though, I had that fabric stuck firmly in my little crafters brain, and no amount of soup-making, baking, crocheting would take it away.

After a morning of Googling I realised that this fabric bundle was probably easily worth the money (including the postage) plus it came with a patchwork quilt tutorial.  So I went back and bought it.  Whoops!

Yesterday it arrived.  What beautiful quality fabric, so wonderfully crisp and colourful.


I tried for AGES to get the ribbon undone without cutting it, my teeth were aching in the end so I had to give in and just take a pair of scissors to it.


Let me share the pieces with you.   The last one is a larger piece as it makes up the sides of the quilt, all the rest are fat quarters.  (approx 18" x 22")










Don't you agree that they are just divine?  I really must start this project sometime soon.

If you fancy it yourself you can find the kit (fabric and downloadable pattern) here..... http://www.craftsy.com/supplies/rk-kit-lumina/3553
