I recently purchased about a yard and half of a Riley Blake Modern Minis panel print fabric. The panel was a series of 4" squares punctuated with cute little sayings. I quickly cut the panel apart into squares and matched up two colored squares with one text square. I cut the colored squares in half diagonally and then attached them to the top/bottom and left/right sides of the text square. I was able to trim them up to 5.5" x 5.5" squares.
Lots and lots of blocks were going to become a dog quilt, but then I thought they needed sashing....
These little sayings are so adorable....By this point, I realized the dog can't read the sayings and this quilt was too good/girly for him....
Remember phones with cords? And wondering who was on the other end of the line? And taking care with every picture you take because film is expensive and you had to pay for every single picture to be developed?? LOL...
I inserted some 1" finished sashing between the blocks, added some setting triangles and voila! A baby quilt was made....and I know that babies can't read, but their parents can read, so the awesome text won't be lost on them...
A sexy, up-close shot of the blocks...look at the little camper!
"Choose Happy" is my favorite one!
Anyhow, I'm going to order some coordinating backing fabric and get this thing quilted up and put on Etsy. But I think there are about 8 other quilts in the queue waiting for my lazy longarmer (me!) to get them quilted!!
Happy Quilting!
