Weekend Sew In.

My husband is currently out of town on business so I have had the whole apartment to myself since Friday and as such I have turned the living room into a semi-permanent sewing studio until he gets back on Wednesday, so I have lots to share this week!

Since Yvonne was nice enough to "hive crash" and make me a pineapple block  so I hive crashed back and made her a block!


She wrote a GREAT tutorial so check it out! I cannot wait to see her finished quilt!

I also started a new project using some of the strips I collected in the 2.5 inch strip swaps I hosted two or three years back. I had quite a few strips that were from Dear Stella's Lanikai line -- but mainly the larger prints. 

I picked a pattern out of Scrap Basket Surprises -- Summer Breeze -- and started to work! I was able to get all of the rail fence blocks completed and started cutting for the pinwheel blocks as well. 


I don't plan to do the outer borders as this pattern instructs since I don't have enough fabric to do so! It will end up 40 x 48 without a border, so I think that's a pretty good baby quilt size!

And of course, Clara was on high alert as official quilt inspector.


Happy Monday!

Linking up with Sew Cute Tuesday and Fabric Tuesday!

    I was a part of the strip exchange, and I included those Dear Stella fabrics. I went through my stash and I have 5 different fabrics from that line left and the size is between a fat quarter and a half yard for each. Contact me if you're interested in a stash exchange!

    It is amazing how much gets done when everyone is gone. Great start on the new quilt. Looks like you will be able to get it done in a hurry.
