Boo Crew Mini

Sew Lux Fabric posted a very cute mini quilt in their blog last week using the mini charm pack of Boo Crew from Sweetwater.  I thought it was adorable so I ordered a reasonably priced kit and patiently waited.  It showed up late last week and I went to town on Sunday afternoon. I got it pieced, quilted, and bound... all in one day.  Record timing for me!

Isn't it cute?  It's the size of a place mat so I'm not sure of where I'm going to use it just yet.  Probably on my breakfast bar in my kitchen with the couple of Halloween Longaberger baskets I have.

I would like more quick patterns like this for those mini charm packs.  I'm collecting quite a few but for now, they just sit.  I hate to just use them randomly.

On the memory quilt front, my threats of "no pictures, you're out of the quilt!" worked and I got a bunch.  I started weeding out and scanning and I need to weed out again.  I have an album from my aunt that I haven't even gone through and I'm up to 54 blocks if I use what I've decided on right now.  Soooo.  I will be paring down the pictures once more.  The initial thought of this project being a wallhanging is just laughable at this point.  I just can't decide on the pictures.  We were all so cute when we were younger!  I found a GREAT picture of my brother at the age of 5 or so with my Grandmother in Disney World.  They both look miserable.  THAT picture is going into the quilt!  I laugh every time I look at it.

I did get 5 more pictures printed on the fabric paper and trimmed for blocks.  Did a little sewing yesterday afternoon and managed to get 2 more blocks done before I had to go to Punk's school for her Open House.  I'm down to 1/2 yard of fabric now so I can only get a few more blocks done.  Tomorrow starts the bi-annual CT Shop Hop.  I will be hitting the fabric store this weekend and stocking up on more yardage.  Can't wait to show you more of my progress soon!

Enjoy your day!
