A New Project

First off - the Winner from my Cheery - O's Pattern Post is:


Barb In NJ at Paint Creek Quilt  is the winner!!! Barb - Send me your address and I will get it sent out to you! Enjoy!!  PS - you can find the pattern at Craftsy

And Next - I am blaming Cynthia at Quilting is more Fun than Housework.... she is forcing me, twisting my arm and making me start a new project....

Okay - Maybe she is not really, she may not even know that she inspired me - but she is doing a little scrappy Quilt a long and I thought I would join in on Quilts #2. BUT !!! There is a problem, or a difference here.

A darling person gave me a bag of 4.5 inch squares - but um, the 4.5 isn't quite exact - or accurate - or well - they weren't quite all the same.... so Mine will be a little more.... shall we say.... abstract???

I grabbed the stack of squares and started pulling the ones with a blue theme....



Then I started sewing and realized I needed a few more.....


And I actually have some of it sewn now.... but I had a distraction - my son ( more about that tomorrow) My QOV sew day.... and my sick child.

So this is a quilt I did in 2011 with Judys Color challenges... It reminds me of the style of quilt I am working on now..... Maybe that is why I was drawn to Cynthias scrap a palooza!

Love the little quilt and looks so easy other than figuring out the inside border size to make it all work.

Looks like you are having lots of fun sewing together gifted scraps and blues always work for me. I get inspired every DWM and it's hard not to want to start MORE new projects each week!!

Looks to me like you are on your way to turning those imperfect squares into a great quilt! Thanks for joining in on the fun! I will certainly be featuring your progress in my series.

I love your strip variation too!

Looks like you found the prefect pattern to use up those squares.
