Quick Updates


Aren't these Kaffe Fassett fabrics gorgeous?? I was lucky enough to receive a gift certificate to Fat Quarter Shop from a close friend. I took my time spending it. I wanted to pick the perfect gift! I finally ended up choosing Spring 2016 Kaffe Fassett Collective Fat Quarter Bundle. I'm so happy with this. I made the right choice.


I used some new, as well as old, Kaffe Fassett fabrics for these Double Pinwheel Blocks. They're part of the Green Tea and Sweet Beans quilt. Aren't they fun?? These blocks were very quick! Very unusual for this quilt!


Here's my Pincha shawl/scarf so far. I'm going to continue until I finish up the yarn.

I've been machine quilting Farmgirl Vintage. I'm finally halfway through the blocks! That leaves only 24 more blocks to quilt! Why does quilting take so long????

  2. You're so right, even machine quilting seems to take forever! The Kaffe fabrics are perfect for your double pinwheels.

    1. Thanks, Em! I love them. Hope I'm able to use them. Sometimes, I hate using the fabric I really like. Makes no sense!!
