I have been a bit lazy for the last week or so and not accomplished much of anything other than finishing up my 14 Christmas placemats to be used next year. My guild's quilt show boutique contributions are done and the show will take place on January 31st and February 1st. So I just fiddle around in the sewing room for a few days and collected up some odds and ends of scraps to start working on this year's charity group's quilt making process.
I pulled these odds and ends of blue fabrics. Not much of anything but thought I could make a 4 patch quilt and get enough of them together to make 9" blocks and come up with a quilt that was hopefully 54" by 63".They look pretty, but find that I am very much short of the light blue/white prints. So I guess it is off to Hobby Lobby later this week for some additional fabric to add to the mix. One of the reasons obviously that one never seems to run out of scraps. In order to use them up you have to buy more to go with what you are trying to get rid of.
Now this project is another story all together. I have lots of these fabrics. While at Warm Wrappings my charity group meeting, one of the ladies showed a quilt she made with this pattern. She did not know the name of the pattern but was able to describe how the block is made and I was able to come home and duplicate it. The blocks are 9" finished, and I easily have left over fat quarters of these fabrics to make a 54" by 63", their preferred size, quilt for the charity group. Yes, one more unfinished set of 6 Christmas placemats unearth when I was putting away the last of my Christmas fabrics into a bin in the closet. I am almost afraid to take a better look into that bin to see what else I might have stashed in there. It is a bit of a jumble and I know I had better sort it out, but who knows what I might find.
