The Hare...

I like to think that I am more like the Tortoise, slow and steady but the reality is I am the Hare. I will work manically for a few hours and then stop and take a 'rest,' and end up being dead last. Not that quilting is a race, but I really should try the slow and steady route. Anyhow. I finished up Mardies Square sometime ago and never posted it! I really like the whole mosaic look.

Here is Nikki's square. I finished it up a few weeks ago, but it has taken  some time to post. Sorry.  I loved loved loved making this! I kind of have a thing for lots of white with splashes of color! I can not wait to see this together! Promise you will post it!?

I started working on Jen's and am hoping to get it finished sometime after Christmas but before the New Year! I think a few of us local ladies should swap out some of our more abundant selvages to provide more variety, what say ye?

Q&A for Jen, How much repeat are you okay with in one square?

Merry Christmas Ladies! Hope your days are filled with Joy!

For Nicole

I really enjoyed putting this little fellow together.  I hope it adds nicely to the lovely squares that have already been made. 

It should be winging its way to you tomorrow!

I was so inspired that I found some nice, generic white in my stash and made a baby blanket for my niece's new baby girl. I bordered and backed it with "Lovely" by Sandy Gervais for Moda. 

One more thing... Please get those gorgeous Christmas squares in the mail so I can make my Christmas quilt in time for Christmas cuddling! 

THANKS!

This afternoon my kids entertained themselves so I took full advantage.  It was a great block and fun to put together.  The block is huge!  Brilliant way to get a nice, big quilt. : )  I can't wait to see it when it is finished.  -Camie

This is the inspiration quilt.

Here is the color pallet (leaving out white and buttercream)!

You will need

-16 4.5x4.5 inch squares of Kona White.  Mine has 25 if you are feeling generous you can do the same.

-Scraps from the color pallet

“Picky Nicky”

I was given the nickname “Picky Nicky” before I could walk.  I have learned to embrace the nickname.  There is nothing wrong with a girl who knows what she likes… right?  Here are my picky requests.

-Use only colors from the pallet (leaving out white and buttercream)!

-Use at least 8 of the colors from the pallet.  

-Solids are welcome.  Use each solid only once. 

-Only use each print once or twice. 

-The print should be no more than half of the 4.5x4.5 inch square so the print should be a triangle. 

-The style of the quilt is modern, so match the fabric to the style of the quilt. 

- For this particular square please do not include prints with fruits or animals.  I am sure there is an exception; consult with me if there is an animal or fruit you feel should be included.

Directions
This is so easy you probably don't need directions but here goes just in case.

Take your 4.5 inch square and sew along the print using a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

 Press

Trim

 The back will look like this.

 If for any reason your print doesn't have a 1/4 inch seam allowance, trim it so it does. Do not trim the white.
 

Repeat 25 more times and assemble the squares.
 Make sure...
 -all triangles are in the bottom left of the square
  -the print is a triangle
-all seams are pressed open

Please email me if you would like me to send you Kona white!
