While part of me is dying to make something flowery and cutesy in shades of pink or aqua, but I'm also excited to dive into this fabric. I've found two great inspirational projects to make two quilts.
First up is this cute little {scrap friendly} piece called Scrap Jar Stars by Amber @ A Little Bit Biased!

Visit her website for a fantastic tutorial! I'm using the patterned Robot fabric for the checkerboard squares and plan on using some coordinating solids for the star points. So far, I've finished the star centers:
My other quilt was inspired by this Kaleidoscope Quilt-along by Jennifer @ Sugar Stitches.
