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!
