Thursday, I was at a hand stitching group and mentioned that I needed a 5" X 12.5" chunk of solid teal if anyone had a piece they wanted to trade. They all said they would check at home. One friend delivered and did not want to trade and did not want the left overs returned, so now I have the necessary fabric to make a second Geese Migration block! Hooray. The color is similar, but I think in the whole scheme of things it will be just perfect.
I also started on my OMG for March. I am making Easter table runners (here is a link to the pattern on the Moda site) for my 2 granddaughters who recently moved away. One is in Vermont and the other just relocated to Florida. I have been melancholy this past week. This will help.
Four bunnies on the design wall, waiting for sashing between the bunnies and top and bottom sashing to complete the table runner.
Four more bunnies under construction. I want to get the bunny parts done, because they require 1.25" square to be sewn on the ears and faces and I am using my Pam Bono Angler 2 tool for sewing the angles. I could have drawn the lines on each little white square but there were 40 per table runner. That's 80! and so I got out this little tool. I have had it for a long time and use it every now and then.
The 2 Bunny Table Runners or Mini Quilts as the pattern calls them will be identical. The granddaughters are sisters and it felt right to do it that way. Maybe the backings will be different, it will depend on what I can find in my stash.
I am hoping to link up to Angela's ScrapHappy Saturday linky party.
I procrastinated linking up my Friday not Finish and missed the deadline!
Stay Busy and Stay Happy
I love those Geese Migration blocks! Glad you found more fabric for a second one. Quilty friends are so generous! Those bunnies are adorable, too! That looks like a fun project to be working on for your granddaughters.
ReplyDeleteNice job on getting your TEAL blocks done for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!!
ReplyDeleteLoving your teal additions this week--your geese look so lovely hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job on your geese migration block. If you keep you leftover binding bits, I always found solids in there for my geese.
ReplyDeleteEverything you’re working on is so spring-like and fresh! I’ve had that Bunny pattern on my “some day” list for at least a couple years. I love the colors and fabrics you selected!
ReplyDeleteYour bunnies are so cute!!! Perfect timing too :-)
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I'm looking at the bunny pattern and am thinking using just one bunny and some pretty spring fabric might make sweet placemats. Thank you for the link! Have a great week!
