It's a great to come back from a holiday as well as starting a new year feeling fresh and inspired. I don't have any specific quilt designs planned; I will just let that happen as things progress. Too much planning can be so overwhelming.
Pat Bravo has very kind sent me a bundle of fabrics which greeted me upon my arrival home. The fabrics are a mix of Pat's Nature, Floral and Oval Elements in a range of colors and shades.
As you can see rotary cutter has had a workout and the dust cover has been removed from the sewing machine. I so loved the graduation of the colors in the fabric bundle that I have featured this aspect in the quilt top that I've made.
This is a really simple project to help ease me back into the swing of things. The squares each measure 3 inches (including seam allowances) and the horizontal sashing which separates the rows was cut as a single strip measuring 2 inches wide. I have of course enjoyed some strip piecing by cutting 3 inch strips from the length of each of the fat quarters and matching it with a strip of white fabric, then cross cutting the strip sets at 3 inch intervals.
