Yes, I am waiting for a fabric order to arrive with a few fabrics needed
to go with my FLAGS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION
quilt. You know, the
quilt along with
LORI
over at Humble Quilts I talked
about in my previous 2 posts.
IN THE MEAN TIME…..
I've been working on my blocks for the 9 patch swap
BARB is hosting over at her blog
She decided on 2 groups, one with bright fabrics and the other group with Civil War style fabrics. I chose the Civil War style because it was something new and different for me.
She offered up this great little tutorial on a super easy way to
sew up these 9 patches. You can check out this tutorial at her blog, click on the tab at the top of her blog header.
Each group was to make 50 pair. Oh my, that's 100 single ones. Some brave souls joined BOTH
groups. I thought about doing both and now I'm glad I didn't. I calmed down that
overly ambisious urge pretty quickly!!!
IN THE MEAN TIME….
You can have a look-see at a few of my sweet little 9 patches.
These are sooooo addictive to make!!
As I've sewn these up, I made sure to set aside a pair of each fabric style for myself.
I can't wait to see the ones I get back from the swap! Clapping! Clapping!
I'm excited!!
IN THE MEAN TIME….
I better get back to the sewing machine and get the rest of my 9 patches sewn up so I can get them mailed out to BARB and meet the deadline of October 1….and sorry, the swap entry has closed.
P.S. In my previous post I was worried about my eagle design fitting on the only fat quarter I had that would work ( well, in my mind anyway ).
It fit perfectly…YIPPEE!!
(As you can see, the eagle is pinned to a stack of fabrics I auditioned. I think this is my final decision)
