Modern Orange

Orange has been calling my name this week!

I had to DIVE in and begin something with 

ORANGE!

First I took the buttons off of....

This orange shirt.

 

But..... CREATIVITY led me another way!

 

I didn't even USE the shirt that started it all!!!

Crazy.  :/

 

I'll probably end up using the shirt fabric for binding.

We'll see......????

I started adding blue...

some stripes...

and

I'm OFF!!!

 

A quilt that makes me HAPPY I'm a quilter!!!

 

My plan is to build around the center

and grow this one big enough for a baby!

 

A MODERN baby.

;)

 

 

Monday.

Has life got you DOWN on this Monday morning???

I have the answer.

I have the Elixir.

I have folks......

THE TONIC!!!!

(Something that invigorates, restores, refreshes,

or stimulates!!!)

ORANGE and PINK.

That's it.

It's THAT simple.

You simply walk to your fabric stash and

PULL out BRIGHT oranges and pinks.

They can't be subtle.

They can't be mild.

They can't be muted.

Sew some 3" wide strips together.

You may even have some precut squares to pop in there!!!!

This is a FREE Prescription.

There are no hidden fees.

No hidden costs.

Just YOU and your MACHINE.

Happy together...

with ORANGE and PINK!!!!

Quick Quilt!

This was a very quick quilt to make....

because I used VERY big blocks of color!!

I only had to make FIVE of these nine patches

using 9" squares of fabric.

It all began with some orange fabric I liked.

I pulled some more oranges

and placed them in the corners.

I wanted those squares to be UN-CUT.

I placed a dark POP! of color in the center....

FOUR light colors in between....

I sewed these big nine patches together..

and then...

....I did some cutting.

Since I used 9" squares...

I measured 4 1/4" from each seam.

TWO cuts.

Easy. ;)

I also needed to trim each of these squares once they were all cut.

It really helps things match up when you

SQUARE UP!!!

After moving blocks around....I put it ALL together!

The colors in here are so fun!!!

Polka dots always help too!!!

A simple 2 1/2" wide sashing....

and a 6" wide piano key border.....

VIOLA!!!

a very QUICK quilt

measuring 65"x76"
