A Little Organic Goodness…and a block for Project Linus

Jan from DaisyJanie sent out a call for volunteers to help her with a Project Linus quilt.  That’s right up my ally!  She sent out 8 Geo Grand charms and a request to make a block (absolutely any type you want) , using only the charms (no additional fabric), with as little scrap as possible.  WOW!  That’s a challenge I didn’t think I could pass up…plus its for a very good cause.  :D

When the charms arrived I couldn’t wait to start my block.  I looked at several different block types and none of them floated my boat.  So I just started laying the charms out on the drawing board and voila!  an idea formed very quickly.  I love it when that happens!

With no written plan, not even a sketch I started cutting, arranging, sewing (and yes, a little ripping out  ;) ).

Here’s the result.  I think it turned out very well if I do say so myself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SWEET!

DaisyJanie fabrics are certified Organic and are absolutely a delight to work with.  They ran through my machine like butter.  I wish all fabrics I worked with were that wonderful!  You should get some toot suite!

After that, I was on a roll.

I started a wallhanging for my studio and got far enough that I can take it on my trip tomorrow and do a little hand quilting.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That’s my Sunday, how was yours???

    Those colors on that cute wall hanging look VERY familiar! I wonder how orange thread would look on it?

      Probably pretty nice! LOL I am nothing if not predictable. I had to stop myself from buying more of the same trend fabrics in California last week. I have a nice Aurifil orange…..hmmmm……
