Postage stamp sized little pieces of fabric...
one inch finished little squares!
I've had this style of quilt on my 'someday list'
for almost as long as I can remember. lol
So when this quilt:
was mentioned at the Fall quilt retreat...
well, I was hooked.
But I wasn't the only one enthralled.
There were handfuls of us that needed to do this quilt!
There was a movement of sorts. LOL
We all ordered or purchased books.
We stocked our fabric stashes with setting fabric.
A facebook group was started for stamp-sized-fabric-minded quilters
(Thank you Rosemary Youngs!!).
After Christmas, I started gathering scraps.
My scraps,
Thank you Wendy! Constant Quilter blog |
The pattern calls for width-of-fabric strips.
I decided I'd like my quilt to be a little more scrappy,
so I cut the equivalent of only quarter WOF pieces.
Equaling a whole lot of scrap play!!!
And here are some of my strip sets:There are many more strip sets, but that's a good representation.
I'm finding so many old favorite fabrics in working on this quilt,
and a great way to spend some of my leisure time.
Which is where I'll be this afternoon!
Thanks for visiting! I hope you are having a wonderful week, too!!
I love postage stamp quilts. I've made about 8 blocks 10 X 10 but it's in a tin on the shelf. Putting the blocks into a quilt like this has all kinds of possibilities. Look forward to watching you have fun as you sew.
ReplyDeleteI have seen several of the 42 cent quilts in the works. A ton of little squares.
ReplyDeleteSo timely! I was going to review the book on my blog but got waylaid! This is my favorite quilt in the book. Can't wait to watch it grow!
