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!
