Classic, Simple Blue and White

Feb10

I was digging through my hutch where I keep my special blocks and found nine blue and white blocks.

They hollered out to be stitched and when the fabric hollers, by golly we listen, right?!

classic blue and white

So in between chores and cooking I cut and stitched this little quilt. It’s 20″ and the blocks are 4.5 finished. I totally dig that size block. If you click for a close up you might be able to see the design in this stash fabric.

Now to decide on the next move. I’m wandering in my mind. Stay with blue and white or add some cheddar? Apply a border fabric or add a pieced border? Add a simple blue and white stripped border and leave it at that? I kind of like that last idea and maybe if I miter the corners that would add a nice touch. Ohh, I don’t know! Maybe I just better leave it here and share with y’all for now. I’m stuck.

Have a great weekend and thanks for sharing your time.  *karendianne.

Improved Nine Patch

Today wasn’t a sewing day and I wasn’t evening thinking about quilting so imagine my delight when I came upon these little blocks.  Oh my!!!

Improved Nine Patch

I think I’ll be joining up with the Darlene and Christmas Through The Year!

Nothing like stumbling upon little happiness blocks, right friends? They make the best gifts. Happy. As a matter of fact, I think that’s what we’ll call this one. Little Happiness.

What a fun little finish this was. I literally dropped everything I had planned yesterday to finish this – and just under the wire, too! I didn’t have quite enough of the setting fabric so I have a make-do patch which I love! I thought those edge blocks were going to be a bummer to piece but actually they were really fun. I love piecing. I really do.

As usual, Lori has the best quilt-alongs!!! I’m sorry I missed Maverick Stars but I may go back and make that one. Thanks so much Lori for the enjoyment of these little quilts. They brighten my quilt life.

Lori has a link up for all the participants in the quilt-along. I hope you’ll take some time and look at the wide variety of little quilts here. So much fun seeing all the creativity in one place!!!

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful day.  Warmly, *karendianne.
