Anyway, I'm following along at Happy Quilting. I've followed along with Melissa before, and I love her star patterns! This time I decided to go super scrappy, mostly in response to my budget.
I'm hoping to build a stash of baby quilts. Right now I have one finished for a girl, one finished for a boy and a third neutral top. I'm hoping this will be another neutral top.
I decided on Kona Khaki as my background fabric--something new--and pulled entirely from my 3-1/2 inch square and fat quarter stashes for all the prints. (I misread and cut many more than I actually needed for the flying geese ...)
This week we're sewing the flying geese units and this was super quick. I've used her no-waste method before and, once marked, I can fly through a pile ala chain stitching. I had 8 sets of these units to whip up and I grouped them in similar color sets. I'm getting excited for the rest of the units!
Aren't they purty? There's a little bit of everything and quite a few memories in there.
This is going to be SO cute Heather! I have wanted to join in this QAL, but my days have been too busy the past couple of weeks. Yours will inspire me while I get to the place where I can play too :*)
ReplyDeleteI love your color scheme!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, they are so pretty!!! I absolutely love that you are doing yours scrappy. This will be so fun!!! And yes, I totally agree, once you get the marking done, you really can just whip through making them up ;) Great job getting them all pieced and yippee for scrappy goodness!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the scrappy colors you have chosen and the Kona khaki looks great too!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to look so pretty! :)
ReplyDeleteI love scrappy! Can't wait to see your quilt come together!
ReplyDeleteThey are very pretty!!
ReplyDeleteI keep hoping to build a stash of baby quilts too, but people keep having babies, and so they quickly disappear to a new home.
Heather, I'm even later than you. :) Your fabric pull looks fabulously scrappy!
