I ordered a fat quarter bundle of the new Dr. Seuss fabrics some weeks ago and they arrived last week. They have been staring at me and I have been wondering what I will do with them. Then suddenly as I was browsing through my flickr favorites yesterday it came to me what I will do with them! Can you believe that I was able to whip these blocks up in two hours last night??? I was a woman on a mission. Some people get nervous cutting into their fabric stashes--not me. Cut cut, sew sew and off I go. Of course I get upset when the vision doesn't match the reality and I feel like I've ruined the fabric by my choice. But, this one I think is going to turn out the way I imagine. Now I now what fabric I need to order to finish the job!!! Can you guess what will go around each block?

Ohmygosh I love it! I stood in front of the entire line of Dr. Seuss fabrics at my LQS debating on whether to get some for many minutes. Seeing your blocks makes me wish I had nabbed some!
I love Dr Suess - your quilt is going to be fabulous!
I can't guess what your sashing will be but I'm looking forward to seeing it.
I know I am coming in late to this post but I would LOVE to see a finished pic of this quilt. I have a stack of this fabric (which I adore) and can't wait to create something with it for my two cherubs (:
This posting was in November. Any chance that is now done? And what pattern or template did you use. Thanks so much for sharing!

What a wonderful quilt, I have a friend who is decorating the baby's room in Dr Seuss and this would be wonderful to make in a smaller version. I just got my fat quarter in the mail and am eager to get to cutting and sewing. I would love to know the pattern size for the center pieces and the border strips.
This is great ! how did you do all the squares within a square?
