Not a block for Robyn, but.....

How about a Llama pillow???
 I just love him.
And as a perfect companion?? A selvedge quilt!
(tutorial here)
I am stoked about the way it turned out!!
It measures right around 60"x60", bound with Little Apples Aqua Buttons, backed with a trifecta of Remix by Ann Kelle, leftover squares from Theo's 1st Birthday quilt, and Denyse Schmidt's Diamond Check in Cornflower.
Yeah, it's a scrappy back.

I decided to hand quilt after machine quilting two blocks. I wanted a bit more emphasis on the "windmills".  I'm really glad I made the change. I love the chunkiness of the embroidery floss.
I treasure this quilt. Thank you again, ladies.
Just look at these two...
They were meant for each other!

  3. I love, love, love it! I agree that the large floss quilting is just right. And a wonderful companion too.
