The indigo quilt that I discussed in my post on July 11 is cut out and ready to sew! 

The featured indigo fabrics are Shweshwe from South Africa.  Every bit of this fabric is precious--I only had 4 fat quarters and one half yard.  I needed to cut it carefully!

I ended up with a couple strips too narrow for this project and a few scraps.  It was too late in the day to start a big sewing project but not too late to use some of those scraps for a 4 inch square pincushion!

The fabric's logo is 3 cats, printed on the back of the fabric.  I found one cat's face on a scrap. I sewed it into the pincushion's top, wrong side out!  Can you see the kitten peaking through the pieces?
