It's Five O'clock Somewhere

There's a new pattern in the shop for you!  This is an easy, fun fused applique quilted wall hanging pattern.  You could easily make more blocks and turn it into a bed size quilt.  All it would need is a little extra quilting for durability and a tighter zig zag on the finished edges of the applique to keep them from fraying through multiple washes.

The scrappy feel comes from using different fabrics for each applique.  A great way to use up scraps from your favorite fabrics and end up with a whimsical beauty at the same time.
Or use one applique for a pillow cover.  Or on an apron.  Or applied to a canvas tote bag.  It's all up to you. 

This quilt takes me straight into summer and those hot lazy days.  Can you feel it?

  1. Such a clever idea. I find the fabric patterns fitting the glass and fruit shapes so perfectly. I love it! Your post header cracks me up!

  2. I think the drinks and their different glasses really lend themselves to all the different scraps. They look great put together. Carolina

  4. I love this! I found you while doing a search for cocktail fabric. I had originally planned on an appliqué. Now I'm sure of it. Thank you for the inspiration!
