I just love the Paddington fabric that I found!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Note to self, iron quilts before photographing:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"IMG_5576 by hopers, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hopers\/3838303592\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2444\/3838303592_eba5da8cd3.jpg?resize=360%2C500\" alt=\"IMG_5576\" width=\"360\" height=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Paddington boots just might be my favorite fabric of all time:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"IMG_5588 by hopers, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hopers\/3838304442\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2536\/3838304442_0a4b57082c.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" alt=\"IMG_5588\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cute <em>and<\/em> educational:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"IMG_5591 by hopers, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hopers\/3837515633\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2519\/3837515633_da0fa2cdd1.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" alt=\"IMG_5591\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The number blocks didn&#8217;t form the right shape (it would have been too skinny with two columns of five), so I added a column of appliqued letters:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a title=\"IMG_5590 by hopers, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/hopers\/3838305518\/\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3576\/3838305518_6742ce7691.jpg?resize=500%2C333\" alt=\"IMG_5590\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I think that it&#8217;s a good sign that every quilt that I&#8217;m working becomes my favorite as I&#8217;m making it.
