Stash Building Part 1

A few posts ago I mentioned that I was very keen to make Bonnie's mystery quilt 'Old Tobacco Road' but I had to change plans. My stash isn't really a stash, and about the same time I signed up to do a quilt-as-you-go log cabin workshop which I need to go shopping for so perhaps another time.

So now thanks to the wonderful Jane at five minutes of fame who had a giveaway, I have some rich christmas squares to create, I'm thinking, a wall hanging. Time to get out some magazines, a cuppa and get some ideas.


Also I've been browsing ebay and found these bright, cheery squares to make an I Spy quilt but I didn't stop there. I have three more packs coming my way as well. I also won a couple of lots with half metre pieces to help start building a stash and to go towards the log cabin.



So I have plenty to get on with for the moment, especially with finishing my four WIP projects by New Years Eve. I have made a little progress with two so far.

I leave you with a photo of 'King's Ransom' in my garden.

  2. Hi Norcelle, welcome aboard for our UFOs challenge!! Sorry it took me this long to get back to you. I have been worrying that I might have missed someone who signed up a bit later...and I did....so very sorry.
    Your August 31st definitely counts, and it's gorgeous! Love those colors, strange I don't work with them, but I love them when I see a quilt made with them.
    I've got you down for 4. Big hugs, Finn
