Ta Da !! Yippee!!

There it is .....hanging on the wall (Thanks Monika!)  Looks great in the sewing room, and makes me smile when I go in there!

So I started thinking about what to do next.....so took a look through some of my magazines and also my saved file of favorite pictures off the internet.  I decided that I wanted to do something simple because the love the look of the modern quilt with box within a box.
So I tried to sketch/think/figure but got myself overwhelmed with all the options!  2" strips? or maybe one should be 1.5" and the other 2.5"? How about a wide 3" with a narrow 1.5"????



Finally I just cut a bunch of 2" and 3" strips and started sewing!! I had so much fun, I didn't really care if I needed to have a bigger plan in mind.





I know that is not always a good idea, but I have quite a bit of fabric that is all coordinated, so will be able to work with it, and plan as I go.
























I finished about 10 blocks....they turned out 12" blocks, so I will keep going and see what happens!!

  3. Absolutely love your wallhanging! Way to go with the impromptu sewing - when you over think/ over stress, it never is a fun project. You must have been enjoying your sewing this way as you completed a lot of blocks. Very pretty fabrics - this is going to be very sweet.
