Oh, how I love a challenge!
I am not competitive in any way, but give me an idea to be creative and I'm all in!
This week's theme for Project Quilting at Persimon Dreams was Pixel Play.
I searched the internet for a pixel image to work with and found a perler bead butterfly.
In my stash for a very long time, I've had a baggie of 2" blocks of purple fabric.
Perfect!
As I laid out the squares, I realized that this was going to be a big project!
BIG=lots of time!
Good thing we had 3 school cancellations this past week.
School cancellation=time to sew!
Lots and lots of chain sewing...along with always counting.
That's 529 two inch blocks total!
I added a few 9-patch blocks to add more area and interest.
Then came the quilting. Simple straight-line quilting down the middle of each block.
Twist clock-wise and stich again!
Next came the binding.
Both the backing and binding fabric are from my full-time teaching days when I covered my bulletin boards in fabric. Somebody apparently likes purple, huh?
Every piece of this project came from my stash, which makes me (and hubby) happy!
A couple of pups were happy with this quilt too!
I wish they had emails so they could each vote!
This quilt...perfect for a baby measures 36"x 36".
Made in my home in Dubuque, Iowa.
