Five quilts made for (almost) the price of one. I can’t remember when I bought the fabric to make this quilt, I got it from Craftsy/Bluprint, so thats an age (2018) or so ago. I was going to make the quilt pattern called Field Trip, the kit contained two rolls of 9 inch wide-WoF, 19 different prints from the line called Strawberry Fizz. I just did the math, it’s about nine yards of fabric. The original pattern is no longer available, but Busy Hands quilts has a similar one called Scrappy Goodness. This past week I was determined to use up all of this fabric. First there is “Picnic Plaid” (a Busy Hands pattern). Then the “Morning Flower patch” (from JTCPQ), the “Tessa quilt” (from Kitchen Table Quilting), Super Star (from the booklet Simple Treasures by Ankas Traeasures), and lastly “Lovers Lane” (from JTCPQ).

A few of these quilt tops were modified, as I made the pieces a little smaller. I wanted to use the Accuquilt dies I have on hand to cut the HSTs and the strips. The remaining scraps will be cut into 2 ½” squares. No more Strawberry Fizz for me, thank you. Now it’s on to something else from the stash. Maybe Halloween themed?

In other finishing news, the Cottage from the Fabulous House series is complete. I stayed up late one night and stitched the last of the flowers. Although looking at it here I realize I forgot three little leaves in the left hand border. I’ll get them done before I start the Hobbit house. I can’t start that one yet, as I am waiting on the pattern to arrive. It was supposed to be here yesterday, but alas, USPS didn’t deliver for me. These houses are small, about 6 inches square. The Cottage was a bit boring, too many bricks to stitch, I like the way it turned out though.

Today I am going to try to get the quilting done on the Morning Glory quilt, and finish off the Lovers lane top. The weather has been very conducive to being outdoors this past week, rain is coming Saturday. Good stay in and sew time.

Be Kind.
