So, if you have been following along with me each month when I get my little
Sew Sampler box, you will remember that I have been making a fun
Sew Sampler Series Recipe Block each month using a variety of Bonnie and Camille fabrics!!! This last month was the final block as the first year of Sew Sampler finished but I still had a stack of leftover Bonnie and Camille
HST's from way back that I wanted to use as well to make this quilt a little bigger. So . . . I found a fantastic image of
HST blocks at Quiltville, picked 8 of my favorites, and sewed just them up ;) They went fast as the HST's were already made and I am just so loving them!!!! Aren't they just so bright and cheerful!!!
And of course, I couldn't wait to see them all together, so I had to lay them all out. I love that the original 12 just morphed into 20 :) I will for sure play with the placement some more, but I just wanted to get a quick idea of how they would look all together. And Eeeekkk, I am so loving what I am seeing!!! So pretty :)
So now to cut some sashings. Since the blocks use all different background shades of white, I am going to do the same for the sashing. Which is awesome because it means I get to use up some of my scraps from the solid white bag!!! I love getting to use up these little leftover pieces, it just makes me smile ;)
I want to think I will be able to share this finish soon, but I just got word yesterday on some secret sewing,(which is super exciting!!) so these blocks might have to put away for a month. But hopefully no longer than that, and who knows, maybe I will just squeak them in anyway. They are just so happy making I can't help but want to sew them up!!!
I hope you are having just a super Happy Quilting Day!!!
