Tropics by Cozy Quilt Designs is a strip-based quilt pattern designed specifically for 2-1/2in strips.
The layout forms star-inspired blocks using the tube technique, creating strong geometric movement across the quilt.
A designated focus fabric adds visual structure, making the pattern ideal for showcasing a feature print within the blocks and borders.
Tropics is written for use with the Strip Tube RulerTM, streamlining cutting and improving consistency throughout the construction process.

Great Cotton for Micro Crochet
I love using this cotton for fine micro crochet with a 1.25mm hook. Its smooth and doesn't catch or split.
And great customer service from Carrie and Michael.

Utinni!
I'm a member of the 501st Legion and buy monk's cloth to make Jawa costumes. It takes the dark brown dye beautifully, and Carrie is a dream to work with. I've now bought 4 bolts of this fabric and will continue to source from here.

review of CallieDel non-woven fusible interfacing
I”m currently using the interfacing to make a t-shirt quilt using sport cricket shirts. I’ve tried to keep everything as flat as possible and will send a photo when completed. I’m not I’d like to make another one. My pins are not liking the sun-safe portions too much. But persistence is the key! The product is working wonderfully and keep everything non-stretchy.
