Saturday

I was able to SQUEEZE in some fabric therapy today.
:)
I pulled out this cute print.
 I'll probably use it for the backing.

I pulled out some coordinating fabric.
Mostly solids.
Not ALL.
Notice the orange shirt that I didn't use in the last quilt???
LOL!!
After cutting some 8" squares.....
 

I layered three or four in a stack
and made TWO diagonal cuts.
Mixed up the pieces and made some blocks.
Very simple.
The edges don't line up with this method...
so...
I had to trim them.
 
Then....

I got to PLAY!!!
Laying the blocks out
this way and that....
 
There ARE chores on Saturday....
but I always manage to
squeeze in some
PLAY TIME too!!!!

  13. This is going into my design book; likely never to be used, but it will always remain as inspiration. Thank you.
