    4 squared

    Apr 26, 2009

    I have all my blocks done, and so far (knock on wood) its turning out nicely and I love how the colors are coming together. The squares are 2.5”. I used a lot of the Amy Butler dots, and the rest were scraps. Mostly the weird shaped scraps I didn’t know what to do with but saved just to look at them. I will probably sash these in white, I have 30 blocks, so it will make a nice sized lap quilt. As with each new project I usually ask what my husband thinks before I sew it all together. This time he said, “Wow, good job cutting up the fabric and sewing it back together.” I’m guessing that’s his approval. And it made me chuckle because that’s all quilting really is….just cutting up fabric and sewing it back together. And its so much fun.

      I love it, the colors are so pretty and I love the vintage feel of it. I made my husband read what you wrote about what your hubby said and we were both cracking up. These are the kind of comments I get when I show him a WIP!

      My grandfather, who is no longer with us, was born in 1903. So he lived through two WWs, rationing, the depression, etc. He always said "I will never understand why you take a perfect good piece of cloth, cut it all up into little pieces and sew it all back together again." Shaking his head the whole time.

      Love your blocks!
