So....... I went to my stash...pullled out all my Kona and started cutting....and cutting.....
To make this...(I know, by the title you were expecting to see material brought.....wrong!!!)
By the way, thanks Mary from Quilt Hollow....you are right, these are so addicting (ooops...there goes that addiction thing again).
I did not stop with My Kona fabrics, I started cutting my Moda fabrics as well (all purchased at Inchworm Fabrics). I decided to do two seperate quilts...and use some of my Japanese fabrics with the Kona (that is reserved for another post later)....but for right now.....here is my Moda in a most delicious array of Fabric feast. Isn't it awesome. I didn't want to do a small quilt...so I added more squares and well...I am going to cut out enough for seven more blocks to make it wider. I just love this. So fun and works up so fast.
I was able to cut a 3 inch strip off of each piece of fabric to get 4 bowties each. Didn't even make a dent in my fabric. I have used about a yard of white so far.
Oh....by the way, got the truck back, went to the Post Office (so those of you expecting things from me, it has gone out today).....and you will be happy to know that I passed up every fabric store on the way home....no more fabric junkie here!!! Atleast for now.....
Congratulations on using stash, you're a better woman than me, lol. It looks fabulous, especially in the bigger size. It shows off the pattern more.
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun! And just love the tulip quilt as well... as long as you use your fabrics you can buy more! Isn't that a rule somewhere?
ReplyDeleteI'm so proud of you for passing up the fabric stores. Your making progress girl. Love that bow tie quilt top. So pretty
ReplyDeleteIt looks great Barb. Are those patterns easy to do? I see them everywhere but have not tried it yet.
ReplyDeleteBarb, I love you r Schnibbles quilt. I looked at Mary's until I finally figured out how to make the pattern. I may be making this one myself.
ReplyDeleteBut of course my colors will be different.
What size did you make the blocks?
This is so cute....I love bowties too. Sorry to hear your truck is still not working properly, it surely would've stopped at the fabric stores if in perfect shape!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful snibble!! Sometimes playing with fabric is a good as buying more....sometimes LOL.

ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh, I am so proud of you.....nice quilt and for not stopping at the fabric store. P. S. I am headed to one today. Well, I have to, I don't have the stash you do, I need one more print for my Trailer Trash quilt. I'll post a pic when I get it. I need red with off white, not easy to find. Keep up the good work, can't wait to see this one completed. Can't wait to see the border.
ReplyDeleteI love your Schnibbles quilt, Barb. I was thinking how nice it would make up into a larger quilt with lots of scraps. Yours looks awesome!

ReplyDeleteWay to go on using your stash. I try so hard to do that myself, and then only have to purchase a "few" new fabrics. Your quilt is stunning, love the colors. Don't think I've seen that pattern before, it's really nice. LIke Gene I may have to try it too.
