Sew Sampler Baskets Quilt Top

So remember yesterday when I said I couldn't wait to put together my Sew Sampler Basket Quilt Top . . . Well I wasn't kidding.  I woke up early this morning and it was the first thing I wanted to work on.    And before you know it, Eeekk, So loving this!!!

When I first started these basket blocks a year ago, my plan was to use a solid background, but this morning I remembered I had the leftover "low volume" Fat Quarters from my Roundabout Quilt that uses this same line, and how fun would it be to keep the whole Low Volume theme from the basket backgrounds throughout the back of the quilt.  So I quickly pressed and cut, and then I was on fire sewing this together ;)

And I love that I also had those skinny piano keys border already cut from my Roundabout as well.  They were a little scrap piece that were all in the same size and worked perfect for that skinny little border that I just love!!!   Now it is time to get it quilted up and then I have made a scrappy print binding from some of the leftover basket pieces. It will be the perfect finish ;)  Now I just have to decide how to quilt it???  I am thinking my all over Fireworks, but we'll see.  

And I might have my Baskets Quilt Top done . . . but this fabric is already starting a New Project!!!   sSince I had a Fat Eighth bundle for these baskets and a Fat Quarter bundle of this fantastic Freedom line by Sweewater for the Roundabout quilt . . . I still had some leftovers . . . and I instantly knew what I wanted to make with them.  I started slicing everything into 2 1/2" strips, and what really makes it fun is that all the strips are different lengths depending on how much was used for the baskets.

And then I sliced up all the leftover Low Volume prints and stacked them up.   Won't this goregous stack make the best 4th of July Ribbons Quilt!!!!   Time to get stitching ;)

Thanks for popping in today and each day!!  I hope you all have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!

Linking up this quilt top finish to Amanda's, Sarah's, and Myra's ;)

March Sew Sampler Box!!!

Another month come and gone and another happy Blue Box arriving on my doorstep!! My March Sew Sampler box showed up and I was all kinds of squealing when I opened the lid to see that Spectrum was this month's theme ;)    I just knew it was going to have a rainbow of quilty goodness inside and it did not disappoint!!! So excited!!!

I have already played with Vanessa Christensen's new Ombre Confetti Metallic fabrics in this Shine Quilt and Tutorial, so I was so happy to find a Half Yard Bundle of 4 stunning colors!!  Doesn't that just make you so happy for Spring :)   I don't know what these are going to be used for yet, but I am thinking they will be for something special indeed.  

And how fun is this new Curvy Log Cabin ruler!!!   Talk about some fun tiny piecing.  And I am so loving that center star in The Sparkler Quilt.  This has me wanting to make a quilt of just curvy stars.  Wouldn't that be so awesome!!  And since the ruler just trims, I can just use scrappy strips to put it together and it will go so quick ;)

And I was thrilled to see more True Grips!!  These were in one of the first Sew Sampler Boxes and I love adding them to the backs of my rulers.  They really do eliminate a lot of the slipping, which is nice as I try not to put as much pressure on my ruler anymore (don't want to have to have carpal tunnel surgery again in 5 years, tee hee hee ;)   And finally, this Bella Rose Gold Tape Measure is just so pretty.   I don't see myself using it a whole lot (not much of a garment maker here ;)  but I know just the person that it will be a wonderful little gift for ;)   

And I am so, so, so excited because this is the final Basket Block!!!   Block 12 and wow, I can't believe how fast that went by!!!  My goal is to get all 12 blocks made up into a quilt before next month, because I wan't this done before we see the big reveal of what to expect for the next year!!!  I totally can't wait to see this new years blocks ;)

And that is my March Sew Sampler Box  . . . and wow, this marks the end of 2 years with Sew Sampler and I have just loved every month of it!!  Can't wait for Year 3 to see what amazing quilty goodness it brings!!!


Have a Happy Quilting Day!!!

If you Give a Quilter a Sale

So you know that book, If You Give a Mouse a Cookie . . . Well that is how today's post is going down ;)

You see, two weeks ago, Martingale Publishing had their Semi-annual Warehouse Sale,   And if you give a Quilter a book sale . . . She will have to browse through it.   I love adding to my quilting library at this sale, but this year, I didn't buy quilting books, I bought Bag books!!!   Windy City Bags by Sara Lawson and Style and Swing by Susan Dunlop to be exact and I am super excited (and scared)  I have wanted to give bag making a try for a while now, and now I think it might actually happen!  But if you give a Quilter a Structured Bag Book . . .  you are going to need some Structure :)   So off, I went to buy some Soft and Stable ;)

But while I was looking for Soft and Stable, I noticed a little banner that said Fat Quarter Shop was having their Annual Spring Cleaning Sale!!  And if you give a Quilter a Sale . . . she has to browse through it, right :)   I like to search the pre-cuts first and was so excited to find a Little Miss Sunshine Jelly Roll in the sale because I absolutely love this line and had used my layer cake in a previous project.   But if you Give a Quilter a Jelly Roll . . . She will need a project to make with it.  And  I instantly thought of the  Jelly Roll Rug Pattern.  I have loved seeing all of these on Instagram and I have so, so, so wanted to make one.  Not only are they super cute, but they would use up some of my endless batting scraps!!!   I can't wait to start this, and I have a feeling I won't be able to stop at just 1, good thing I have more Jelly Rolls stashed ;)

And I was all ready to check out, But if you Give a Quilter an Amazing Sale . . . She has to buy more than one Pre-Cut, right :)  (Please tell me you all add extra goodies in your cart just because :  You all know I love Charm Packs and I just let a good friend use my Just Another Walk in the Woods Charm Pack to make a Charming Tote and it turned out so cute, I knew I needed to make one in the same fabric.   And the Grand Canal Charm Pack, well I just love Kate Spain and hey, I could have got the layer cake too :)

So I am curious, is this how you find your quilting shopping works too??  I wouldn't be surprised because you know, If you Give a Quilter a Sale . . . 

Hope you have a very Happy Quilting Day ;)
