Back to the sewing room after celebrating some important birthdays - a 3 birthday...
And a 1 Birthday... By the way, we were invited back for the 4 birthday and asked to please bring presents!
I picked this up at Rosie's Calico Cupboard in San Diego. A great shop with TONS of fabric. I'm going to do the new Schnibbles pattern, Paganini. There are several versions in the pattern and I'm having trouble deciding which to do. I may have to do a couple!
So after some food shopping, lots a laundry, a little housecleaning and a visit with the girlfriends (Dairy Queen included), I cut into my Innocent Crush. I'm going to attempt the Pottery Barn quilt I showed you here. Never found a pattern, so I'm winging it. The quilt is made of half diamonds. Pieced kind of like a Lone Star, using half the diamond shape. I'm strip piecing it and was able to make 8 rows with the yardage I had.
After sewing the strips together, you simply cut the diamond shapes using the 45 degree angle on your ruler.
It's really pretty easy.
In 3 hours today, I drafted the design, figured my fabric order, cut and sewed several rows of strip sets and went from this...

To this... I have 3 more rows to go before I can sew them together into half diamond shapes. The biggest problem with this quilt is that I really don't know what it's going to look like until it's almost done! I'm hoping it will work - keeping my fingers crossed.
