I am not totally geared up for a new project yet, but I have started to go through my novelty fabric (finally dwindling down) and fussy cut some 2.5" squares. There is a set of twins on the way and they will need to snuggle in some adorable little quilts.
This is the pattern I think I want to use. It is Moda Bakeshop's Four Squared quilt. I am going to do a 5 x 5 layout for a 40" Square quilt. I have some 2.5 strips in my scrap bin and will pair it up with some random I-spy pieces.
If you see the upper portion of the picture below, you might see that I am working on a new step in Orca Bay. I am about halfway through with piecing the flying geese blocks. After this step, I will need to complete the gray string blocks and will be ready to assemble!
The rest of the novelty fabric? I am going to pass it on. I have made quite a few projects with the fabric I have. I am not ruling out any I spy quilts in the future, but it is time to collect some new fabrics and start with a clean slate.
What are you up to this weekend?
As a scrap quilter I so get it - after so many 'uses' of that fabric, you just get tired of it! Need a fresh palette.
ReplyDeleteI will pay postage if you want to send me your I spy stuff. I will send you an equal amount of fabric in return of your choice.
