A lesson learned

When I was visioning this quilt I thought the perfect color to use for the sashing, border, binding and backing should be rich Robert Kaufman Kona black.
I think my vision worked BUT I forgot about the yellow Lab that lives with us. Anyone with a Lab knows a Lab can look at something and shed all over it.  Enough said?

Can do

I was looking on the Robert Kaufman Fabrics web site today and saw this retro quilt pattern titled "Kona Dots".  I love the colors and the "feel" of the design.  I was day dreaming about the colors I would use then I quickly came back to reality and realized there are squares and circles in each block - holy smokes!
Luckily the designer, Amanda Murphy, used fusible web to attach each circle to each square.  I decided THIS I can do and went back to day dreaming.
