I hope you all had a great weekend. Ours was a lot of fun, we got 8" of snow that kept the kids entertained and I was, once again, playing with my scraps. This time I decided to bring out my GoCutter! and I cut out lots of HSTs, 2.5" squares, 4.5" squares, and 5"squares.
I have to say, though, I had no specific purpose in mind for any of these pretty stacks. I just kept cutting, it felt so good to see my messy scraps getting organized. I decided to use some of the 2.5" squares and start a new baby quilt. It's totally
Oh, and I finally made myself a small design wall so it was a lot easier to organize my squares without worrying about our cat or the kids messing it all up.
I love this color combo. Here it is, this time after it was all sewn together.
This is how far I got before it got way too dark for me to take any decent pictures. I'll show you more soon.
Before I go, I have to share a picture of what kept my kids, and husband busy. They built an igloo of sorts in the pile of snow. They absolutely LOVE it and spent hours playing there. And, yes, it has 2 entrances and a circle roundabout in the middle. Really cool.
Have a wonderful day, Svetlana.
The quilt is going to be adorable!!! That snow fort is incredible! I think we may have to try to make one this winter if we ever get enough snow. :)
ReplyDeleteI had no idea how useful a design wall would be until I made one! Very cool. And what fun in the snow!
ReplyDeleteThat snow for is AWESOME! And I can't wait to see how your quilt turns out. The inspiration quilt is lovely, so I'm sure yours will be too.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your progress. I don't have a go baby cutter but I have spent some time this year so far with my rotary cutter and scraps, getting things cut to reasonable and usable sizes, and it does feel good, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking a small design wall would be useful. I don't have one either and usually end up just taping things to the wall with painter's tape, or laying things out on the floor. How did you make yours?
Fun fabrics - isn't it fun to use up scraps. Thanks for sharing...
ReplyDeleteSounds like you all found an awesome way to spend a snow day :oD Love that wee quilt, I'm just loving scrappy patchwork right now
ReplyDeleteYour scraps look so organized! That is about the most awesome tunnel/fort I've ever seen and almost makes me wish it would snow a lot here in Maryland. Almost.
ReplyDeleteLovely job with the scraps, I need to do mine. How cool is that igloo!
ReplyDeleteI'm tempted by that "just cut" mentality. I actually enjoy cutting! And the igloo sounds super-cool. My kids would love to come play!
ReplyDeleteI love this scrappy patchwork baby boy quilt! SO cute! I saw your kids igloo out in the snow and was very impressed! I bet they are having fun playing in it :)
