I forgot that back in November I ordered 3 new Schnibbles PDF patterns. I dug around in my email for them and in my stash for the perfect charm packs to use.
I decided on Morning Joe using High Street by Lily Ashbury (link to mini pack. I'm using full sized charms). I confess - I was hoarding High Street. I couldn't bare to use it but then what's the point of having it?? I do have a layer cake from the line as well. I will find use for that too somewhere. 2014 will be my year for stash busting! HA! Probably not but I'll give it a try. LOL!
This is going together pretty quick. I have 3 blocks completed so far (in 3 hours over two nights), another ready for piecing and the 5th mapped out. I'm not one to follow the instructions in the pattern and cut out and make 100+ HSTs and THEN start putting blocks together. I wing it and cut/piece blocks one at a time. I audition charms as I go along and lay things out. I like the instant gratification of seeing blocks not pieces of blocks. :) It works for me.
So far, so good. I'm pleased. My husband is working the next 2 nights so after Punk heads to bed, I plan on sewing for at least an hour each night. I would like to get this completed by the end of January so that I can turn my focus over to my husband's birthday quilt.
Enjoy your day!

ReplyDeletepretty! nice work.
ReplyDeletePretty blocks Jen! Bust that stash, I need to do the same thing!
ReplyDeleteWow -- you're getting right with the program. I LOVE High Street and I don't think I have any. BooHoo. Maybe I'll go down to the dungeon and find that I actually did buy it. So many beautiful lines always come out and it drives me crazy trying to decide which ones to buy! Can't wait to see this one finished!
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks and points! HSTs are wonderful!! :)
