Strawberries, Blueberries and Chocolate

I needed a treat.
This would have been yummy, but

then I would have had to do some extra walking
or really exercise hard.

 So rather than feel extra guilty,
I did some fabric surfing, that's exercise right, and 
had Homestead Hearth send me some
of this kind of Blueberries, Strawberries and Chocolates.
By Judi Rothermel.
Delicious, without the calories.

It was perfect timing with Lori's
SAL or sew along.
Check it out.

My plan is to use these 
and if I have to add in some other pieces,
which I will, 
I have only 5 minutes to search.
It's time for fun, not for agonizing over a
couple of 2 inch squares.
Ready, set , go.....

With the aid of fast forward,
here are the fabrics I have chosen.

I think they'll work out great.

Ready, set , go....

Fast Forward....
Here's the block.

One block didn't seem quite enough
so back to the cutting board.
I'll let you see what a set of 4 looks like soon.

It's all about having fun,
and this was fun.

Until Next Time-

  8. Had a hard time getting past that yummy cake but stayed on task & saw your Abundance quilt - really like your fabric choices - a nice finish. Those Judi Rothermel fabrics are delicious too.

  9. Yum! What a great line to make Abundance from. I thought a larger quilt using the same block would be stunning. Cannot wait to see what you have in store.

  12. The fabrics are fantastic. My collection doesn't include such nicely coordinating period prints. I think you should make some more! I have also thought this would make a good center for a medallion quilt.
