If I can't get to my stash because it's still packed, awaiting shelves, what can I get to? Ah hah! The parts drawer is accessible.
In it I found some four patches left over from a mystery with Kevin the Quilter a couple years ago. There are enough blue four patches for 10 of these nine-patch blocks.
The PC Quilters support a charity that's in need of boy quilts, 45 x 60". Maybe I can do something with these parts and make a boy quilt for them. Quilts for older boys are the focus of the sew day coming up later this month that I signed up for. Maybe I can bring this along and work on it.
Here are blocks on my design wall. If I use 2" sashing and 2" borders, this quilt will measure 43-1/2 x 63-1/2". I hope that will be acceptable; if not, I'll save this quilt for Hands2Help.
Yes, my design wall is completely installed. The flannel arrived and DH and I got it mounted and smoothed out, and now the wall is not only ready to use, it's actually being used. It's starting to feel like home here now!
And since I actually have a design wall - with something on it - I'm participating in Design Wall Monday over at Small Quilts and Doll Quilts. Also linking up with Love Laugh Quilt.
Great solution. I spent yesterday in the parts drawer, too!
ReplyDeleteHope you can setup soon.
ReplyDeleteHOORAY for the new design wall - and for turning those leftovers into what will be a wonderful quilt.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice to go to the "parts" department! I would think the group (or the charity) won't be so specific with your quilt being just a little bit off. It's going to be a great quilt.
ReplyDeleteThat didn't take long, Jan! Glad to hear that your new place is already starting to feel like home.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to see you playing with fabric for a good cause :)
