Do I need another new project? No. Does that matter? No!!
I'm starting a few more quilts! Woooooot!
One of my local quilt shops (
Blue Bar Quilts) is offering a block of the month series of classes/get togethers to make this quilt:
Scrap Happy Sampler
Normally wouldn't say I'm a big fan of samplers, but this looks like a lot of fun and a great way to use my bright scraps-- of which I always seem to have oodles of. Here are a portion of what I've cut into for the first block.
I bought several yards of this Wilmington Criss Cross to use as my background.
In addition to starting the sampler, I'm starting two new baby quilts. I've wanted to do a plus quilt for ages and it seems like a great way to make something quick, but still graphic and interesting. This is for some local friends that are expecting their first baby. They are letting the gender be a surprise and are decorating the baby room in grey and white. I have been making a ton of quilts with these colors and have a lot of left over hunks and chunks, so this is a great way to use up those bits. After the black/white/grey quilt, I'm going to do another plus, but with rainbow/bright fabrics. There are babies everywhere!

ReplyDeleteHi Kristin,
ReplyDeleteIt is always so much fun to start new projects . . . oh, the possibilities. I have wanted to make a plus quilt and your baby quilt looks like it will be just perfect for mom and baby! I am in Wisconsin, too (Sturtevant near Racine) and haven't visited that quilt shop. I'm going to check it out for my next road trip. ~smile~ Roseanne
Start away sister. Love everything you are starting - it is so bright and beautiful, my keyboard is covered in drool :-D
