It seems I am always playing catch up when it comes to my quilting projects. I see soooo many cute designs and opportunities to join in a sew along while I am reading my favorite blogs. I already told you that
I am a joiner. So here I go again, I'm joining Rachel's Postage Stamp Quilt Along. You know Rachel, from
p.s. I quilt.
Yep, I'm three weeks behind but no fear. Since the holiday season has ended my work schedule has gone back to the normal part-time status which means I only work 3-4 days a week. YEAH!!! I have had the past four days off so I have been sewing, sewing, sewing. Here is my progress. To stay true to my resolution to use up what I have, I chose a jelly roll I bought back in 2008 at the NQA convention I attended. It is Daydreams by Deb Strain by Moda. (I told you I have been hoarding fabric for a long time).
I love all the pre-cuts offered out there. I have fat quarter bundles, honey buns, jelly rolls, layer cakes and charm packs. I'm addicted!! I buy them and then never know how to use them. So when Rachel started this project I just knew this fabric line would be great. The contrast fabric I'm using is just a white solid.
So I sewed and sewed and sewed and ended up with all the strips sewn together.
Lots and lots of strips!! So, then I went back to sewing and sewing and sewing! Whew, I'm finally catching up!!
Here are four of the forty-eight(yes, 48!!) blocks that I have finished and now I'm all caught up and can stay up with each step as they come. These colors are out of my comfort zone but I thought the fabrics were so fun. I guess that's why I bought it in the first place. DUH!!
Now onto another of my WIP's. Thanks for stopping by!!
