Happy Saturday....
This is Flying Carpet, one of the four quilts made out of Mystic Fabric, for Robert Kaufman.
Flying Carpet was inspired by the rugs and carpets in Morocco.
The variety of styles and colors were amazing....each style representing a tribe or area in Morocco.
No rug was exactly the same because they were usually made by one woman - their skills passed down from generation to generation and no pattern is used just their knowledge. I loved that you could see two rugs from the same village with similar patterns still be very different.
I had to include this cute little guy. Kitties are well revered in Morocco... they take care of the rodents since most of the markets and homes are open air. You will find them everywhere.... I was in heaven.
In honor of Flying Carpet I am giving away a fat 1/4 bundle of the "extract" palette....just leave a comment below and the winner will be chosen on Monday. My manor of choosing winners is not scientific, I collect the number of comments (say 35) and write them on little pieces of paper and let one of the kids draw. So it really is quite random. Don't worry this isn't your only chance to win....I will be giving away a bundle of fabric with each quilt.
Hope you have a great weekend!

The flying carpet pattern will be available mid January from The Stitchin' Post.
