::Sunday Stash/38::

September 19, 2010 By Katie

I was cleaning out the other day and ran across a stalled project made from  Robert Kaufman’s Hot Couture line.  I fell hard for the purple blue colorway and quickly leaped into this project with Denyse Schmidt’s quilt in mind.

This was just as I was discovering that making blocks of improvisational nature via a pattern was just too time consuming.  I started to branch out and just go with the shape and technique rather than the exact design.  Plus, this large print loans itself so well as a focus.

One block is missing, but a few more and this could easily be a baby quilt.  I’ve been pulling these little projects to work on at the Modern Quilt Guild meetings.

I wish I had yards of this, it would make some fine pillowcases for my periwinkle bedroom.

    How do you attach the blocks on top of blocks? Do you just use a zig zag stitch?

    How goes the the running?

      Just a log cabin style. Work your way out with the “logs.” Just went for my run. Rain AND sun.

        Ah, yes, that makes sense. Thank you!

        Hope you enjoyed running in the rain. Sometimes it’s so refreshing. (as long as the rain is not coming down in cold sheets, but cold rain is not likely this time of year … unless you are in Montana).

    Wow do I love that fabric! I wish you had yards and yards of it too so i could have some 🙂 Also, my room is periwinkle too, but a tad bluer than yours. My fave, especially if it is a flower that color.

    Gorgeous fabrics! And your blocks are beautiful – can’t wait to see it all done – but no pressure 🙂

    Hi! New commentor here. I’m glad you made the larger blocks for the patterned fabric! The pattern would have been lost if you just used the sliver inside the other blocks. Looks great!

Today I put the Christmas sheets and pillows back Today I put the Christmas sheets and pillows back on the bed.  They seem more cheerful than going plain vanilla. #littlethingstheory #cottonandsteelfabric
Well I thought Amazon Surf was a stupid paint name Well I thought Amazon Surf was a stupid paint name and it turns out it’s because it’s not its name. We’re sleeping in the Aussie Surf;) you can see it is Boss approved. I love it with the other colors and I didn’t go purple, but that hallway sure would look good with some light apricot:) #benjaminmoore #aussiesurf
Happy ❤️ day peeps! Boss and I took a long qui Happy ❤️ day peeps! Boss and I took a long quiet walk early this morning in Fauntleroy Park, followed by Nutella banana bread and naps. Then we put the bedroom back together and I’m loving the new color with the colors in the hall and bath. The snow has been such a delightful balance of inside and outside time all weekend. More walking to enjoy the snow before the rain starts.
Snow day loveliness with a second coat of Amazon S Snow day loveliness with a second coat of Amazon Surf in the bedroom (and Boss’s nose), which is thankfully love at first sight. Multiple Boss walks and naps, and a lovely brunch. I’d love to move away from using plastic wrap on pudding to avoid the skin and went with TJ’s waxed cloth after it had cooled a bit but it left a bad flavor on the top. Any suggestions?

The heart theme continues. I have a ridiculous amo The heart theme continues. I have a ridiculous amount of bundt pans. They don’t stack well and all do the same thing, but they all make me so happy. Plus we get to say lines from My Big Fat Greek Wedding every time we slice into one. This bundt is plain ole pound cake from Casella’s A World of Baking, my fav with a cuppa coffee.  #bundtcake #nordicware #valentinesbaking
