While there has been a lot of
S...L....O.....W....... sewing here lately,
I have needed some 'instant gratification'
(of the fabric sort) at the sewing machine!
After borrowing this book from my library
earlier in the year....
I decided I'd use my stash of
chocolate and raspberry
fabric to make these....
 |
| Constructed as an "S"... |
 |
| or a "2" |
 |
or a "5"? or my initials! I have been playing with a layout....  Not sure how this is working yet... It may need some sashing? And on a side note... |
I'd love your vote in the Scrap Quilt section
over at the Blogger's Quilt Festival!
My quilt is at the start....
And my friend Mary's beautiful wedding quilt
has been nominated in the Viewer's Choice section!
Please vote for her too!
Happy sewing!

I will have to take a look at that book...I don't think I have seen it. It is Memorial Day weekend here. We have been busy today. Thank you for your friendship...I treasure it....and you! xo

ReplyDeleteHmmm…. on point, maybe? They're lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe blocks look really fun. i really like that geometric print in your first block.
ReplyDeleteFunny....I just had that same Kaffe book out from my library and noted that quilt! Great minds think alike....yours is so pretty....love the colors! (you got my vote!)
ReplyDeleteSometimes fast sewing is needed. Best of luck in the voting. Your quilt is so gorgeous I am sure it will do really well.
ReplyDeleteThose S blocks are really fun, very cool to have a block of your initial. I hadn't noticed the viewers choice category, I'm glad you mentioned it because I noticed my Dollop of Cream quilt in there too!! Happy Dance!
ReplyDeleteI love the 's'! Brilliant! I will be voting tonight if I get a chance ;)

ReplyDeleteI like those blocks, very much. I've voted, best of luck.
ReplyDeleteVoted for you and Mary!!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you both win xx
voted for you and also love your new project.
ReplyDeleteVery cool quilt blocks! I love that idea--just needed to have some time with the cloth and the piecing. I wrote down all the things I wanted to finish up this summer, and told my husband I felt bored by everyone of them (not that I don't like them--just that they've been hanging around too long!). So I completely understand this idea!
