For some reason, I have gotten on a 1 inch squares
(finished) kick.
I was in my studio the other day
sitting on the floor with a PILE of scrap fabrics
EVERYWHERE.
Hubby comes in and the story goes like this:
Hubby: Hey Honey! What are you doing?
Me: Cutting fabric.
Hubby: Where?
Me: Right here!
Hubby: Those tiny things?
Me: Yes.
Hubby: What would you do with those tiny things anyway?
Me: Make a quilt!
He obviously doesn't get it!
He obviously doesn't know that quilters don't throw ANYTHING away!
So, I have cut quite a few 1 inch squares
and I have stored them in this cute container
(more on that later).
and...I have actually started to layout my plan.
Thanks for listening
(and who knows, I might even put together a little tutorial for you)!
Until Next Time.... Happy Quilting!
Ha! I had a similar convo with my hubs a while back, only my squares were 1 1/2". You are REALLY ambitious! Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve!
ReplyDeleteHa!!! Plus we love to drive ourselves crazy, don't we?
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! Please show us a tutorial!
ReplyDeleteI go back and forth with my scrap bins and how to handle them. I have them sorted by color, which was the smartest idea. I find i use them a lot more often because they are easier to get to. But I do wonder...Should I sort them according to color AND cut them to specific size squares or leave them the way they are and cut them when I need them. Oh, the dilemmas of quilting that can keep one awake at night! lol
They think we have lost it I bet sometimes when it comes to quilting ideas!! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteI love 1 1/2" squares...but I haven't been brave enough to start a project with them yet! Yours are going to be beautiful put together!
ReplyDelete:) can't wait to see.
