It seems like forever ago that I just sewed for fun that I can hardly stand it! I figured it was about time:
I bought a ton of Malka prints (a stitch n color) in February (I think it was February) and I made only one thing (that I gave away). Remember this?
I loved that quilt, but it was a bit small for what I needed, so I thought it was time to get out the bunch again and some solids to go with them. Here are the cools:
And here are some of the warms:
I just love making wonky log cabin blocks, don't you? So far, I have 18 made and I think they will end up at 6 1/2 inches each.
Next are the cools.....................wish me luck!
But you don't need any.
ReplyDeleteWow those blocks all laid out like that actually looks like a beautiful ironing board cover! I love it.
ReplyDeleteOh wow, have fun. Although I don't see how you couldn't with those fun fabrics. Play, girl!
ReplyDeleteOh this is a great idea. I have a layer cake and a charm pack of Malka's fabrics that I've been saving because I wanted to use them for something special. This idea has got me thinking! Thanks
ReplyDeleteLove it already! Keep going. It's going to be amazing. How big are you aiming for this time?
