I mentioned the new BOM quilt for 2025/2026 by Sarah Fielke before, it’s called Slodki – (you pronouce Swodki) – and is inspired by Polish Tapestry.
Though I did not intend to make a start as I’m in the process of finishing the Big Woods quilt… I could not help myself and had to make a ‘test’block…
When the instructions for Month 1 arrived, I did not have a plan for fabrics, colours or whatsoever. I searched the internet for inspiration and found some pictures, like the fish above. I used it as the inspiration for my ‘test’ block.
My first (test) block for month 1. I used what I had on hand. Moda Grunge White Paper for the background and Saxony for the background pieces of the appliqué. The print fabrics are by Jennifer Kingwell, called Mixed Bag of Lollies.
I’v put everything aside now, so I can focus on the finish of the Big Woods quilt!
