I finished my Checkered Brick quilt top! I love the colors in this fabric pack. I can't believe it took me so many years to find a pattern that I thought worked well with the fabric.
Since I'm on a roll with sewing, I decided to work on quilt squares that I cut out from Dad's old shirts. I haven't found those quilt squares yet, but I did find a quilt top that I started about 12 years ago. Another project beckons!
I spent yesterday cutting out fabric for my next quilt top, Checkered Brick. The fabric is Heather Bailey's Freshcut from 2006. Daughter Alison and I fell in love with this fabric collection way back then, and we each ordered the fat quarter pack.
I have enough pieces cut for a queen size quilt, but I think I'm going to go ahead and cut up the remaining fat quarters so that I can truly mix it up. If I counted correctly, I have enough fat quarters for a queen size quilt and a throw. My goal is to have at least one quilt top ready for quilting by the time my finished quilts are ready to be picked up. I think I can do that!
We have Tollway Tatters this morning. I have to decide if I want to work on more button ornaments or a bookmark. Decisions, decisions!
