1 INCH SQUARES {THE STORY GOES LIKE THIS}

 

 

 

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!

Last Minute Baby Shower Gift

One of my co-workers is expecting her first baby---

a BOY!

(A you know, little boys have a special place in my heart)

She isn't into the usual baby blue colors,

so for her baby shower gift I wanted to make

something different.

I grabbed these Dr. Seuss fat quarters and pieced them together to

make a changing mat and burp cloths.

I even pieced the back together.

 

My co-worker loved them and they became the

hit of the baby shower!

Until Next Time ... Happy Quilting
