a patchwork robot

first I tried felt, then wee, now patchwork

I had the idea of making a robot in the same was as my dolls and while I don’t want to play robot favorites, this guy is making me very happy because he’s so squishy and huggable.

The patchwork panels on his chest and the stripes on his arms are from a quilt block Amy sent me a while back. I just love brown and yellow together. These fabrics were very close to becoming a Patchwork Set girl. Instead they filled a more technical destiny in the exciting world of robotics!
