Jana came upon an ad on Craigslist for free…stuff, I think it was a free bonanza really, and she kindly thought of me for the 4 giant boxes of fabric scraps. Lots of it was scary (polyester!) and unusable (biodegrading as you watch!) but some of it was super cute and vintage. There was a tiny bag within of tiny scraps of adorable flannel and I knew right away what I wanted to make.
Small, cute, perfect. I’m kind of following the instructions above, but as always, I am also doing my own thing. My squares, for example, are 2″x2″. As you can see, until I was interrupted by a certain someone’s bed time, I managed to cut 81 of them. I have more to cut, I think I’d like it to be 100 squares total, then a border, then binding.
And a close up because it’s worth it:
The kids fishing from a canoe is so cute, I wish I knew where it was from. I’d wrap my entire life in that stuff.
SEE?! You love quilting!
HA! DENY!
And speaking of whom, I was having epic dreams about you and Katie just before I woke up.
Two inch squares? You are a bear for punishment but it will be the cutest ever. xoxo
What an awesome freebie score!!
That looks awesome. I’m glad that (some of) it is being used and loved. I can’t wait to see the final product.
Oh my good lord! I love it!
I fiddled more with it tonight and I’m going with an orange border (leftovers from my aborted double wedding ring quilt) with a yellow back/binding. It really will be completely to-die-for!
