It made me start not 1 but 3 new projects!
The first one is a quilt I will donate to a local scouting performing group.
So far I have put together 8 blocks - I need 125 to make the quilt.
The next one was a house quilt I found on the web. I figured I could make a smaller version of this......
... starting with this little block...
It's from the blog - building houses from scraps - a dutch blog but has English translations too. The owner of the blog has lots of pics of quilts people made during 2012 as they made 1 house per day for the quilts. They are all amazing. There's even one from a lady in Australia.
Mine measures 4.5 inches unfinished, is rather wonky - hand pieced. I may try doing it by machine. I think the door is too high and that it would look better with 1 larger window rather than 2. I also need to mix up the fabrics a bit more.
It only needs 143 friends and just possibly a larger embroidered friend too. I have figured out that if I use 8 different colours I need 18 in each colour way. I will have black sashing and red cornerstones like the one above. The black will be the only fabric I buy - the rest will come from the stash.
And then there's these guys.....
They belong to a Dear Jane type of quilt - 198 blocks in total both pieced and appliqued. Also a stash buster...
Am I crazy?
