Quilt Project featuring Tula Pink's fabric "Lil' Stinker"

What??? Skunk fabric? Only a dog owner, who’d lived through a number of unfortunate dog-skunk encounters, would even think about making a quilt feature skunks! And only a dog owner would design one! Yes, Tula Pink does have dogs which occasionally photo bomb her Tuesday Tula Talking videos on Facebook.

So far I have 20 skunk blocks cut out of Tula’s “Lil’ Stinker” from her Linework collection from Free Spirit Fabrics and a stack of her cool colors Tent Strip and Pom Pom fat quarters to use in some creative way. Still pondering that one. I know I want to frame the skunk blocks. But I haven’t figured out what I am going to do for the alternate blocks between the skunks.

I’m itching to get started on this project, so I need to decide soon!

Not to worry—I won’t be gifting you this quilt! I’m pretty certain that even some dog lovers wouldn’t want a quilt made with this fabric! Especially those who have had a dog with particularly unfortunate encounter. Been there, done those late night hydrogen peroxide/baking soda/Dawn dish soap baths. Not fun!
