It is full steam ahead in my sewing room with the new Quiltville mystery that started last week. I am making my quilt from scraps and have enjoyed digging through the neutral and dark blue bins, pulling out pieces that could be used in this project. It's like looking into a memory/souvenir box and saying "oh I remember that project/fabric/designer", "this was leftover from Grandma's quilt", and "that can't be used because there is only a small piece left and I love it"! Totally ridiculous!
Here are 9 sets of HST's pressed and ready for trimming of the dog ears. This is the perfect project for me to work on now. I love these scraps and it's mindless sewing! Part 2 is coming on Friday and I will be ready!Linking up to Design Wall Monday over at Judy's
lol. that sounds like me too! "I can't use it I love it too much and only have this little bit left"...and then my sister pointed out that if I used it in the quilt I could love it every time the quilt was used and not just when I was digging thru the scrap bin. I am collecting the parts for Bonnie's quilt but can't start until after the holidays. It gets to be my January reward for making it that far!! Don't you love the blue? I can't wait to see yours progress.
ReplyDeleteHaven't started yet but thinking about it. Will have to pull fabric soon or i won't do it. I did a more conteolled one last year and liked ot so might do the same this year.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've gotten a good start. Half size blocks? That's going to be a fun mini.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea to go smaller! This is going to be fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteYou are off to a great start, Kathy. I can not wait to follow your progress on the new mystery. Enjoy the weekend. Hugs
ReplyDeleteI made mine using Triangulations instead. I'll pull the papers off while I'm watching Dancing with the Stars Tuesday night.
