Since the beginning of the year
I have been moving back and forth:
from complex projects to simple patterns,
from long term finishes to quick sews and
from old half finished projects to new ones.
from old half finished projects to new ones.
There seems to be a place for each
in my eclectic quilting style and unpredictable schedule.
I recently downloaded the free pattern,
demonstrated by Kimberly
of the Fat Quarter Shop .
It's fast and easy,
especially if you use charm packets.
Instead, I cut some 5" squares of
some older "odds and ends" blues and
some, "I don't use white on white prints anymore"
to stitch this easy peasy quilt top together.
Here's the general idea.
Make Nine patches
cut Nine Patches,
resew Nine Patches.
Just so you know, I did use some oldies...
Once everything is sewn together
I'll admit using some current bright and
cheerful charm packets would make a totally
different and delightful quilt, but
this is what I had and this is what I used.
Once it's quilted and bound,
new life will be added to some "classic fabrics".
I'm thinking ahead with this top.
My local quilt shop
donates lap size quilts to nursing home residences
each Christmas,
I'm looking forward to be able to
include this quilt as a gift
to some special person.
It's not like I was lacking in projects,
or needed something to do,
it was just something I did,
"Out of the Blue".
Until Next Time-
"Out of the Blue".
