Yeah, I know that I cannot fool you quilters. You know exactly what I'm talking about, and you do it too!
I have finally stripped my Promenade fabric by Riley Blake into 2 and a half-inch strips. I've been holding onto this fabric for far too long. I'm sewing the strips into 12-inch blocks. With 4 blocks together, it makes a nice big X.
Well, now that's a little x-rated! I'm so just kidding. My humor is terrible. I will stick to quilting.
I think this will end up to be a 70-inch square quilt. That's a good size, I think. I love this promenade fabric.
In other news, my oldest ginger turned 6 years-old over the weekend. I was finally able to give her the mermaid pillow. She told me a week before her birthday that I better get working on this and finish soon. She didn't know that I had already finished it weeks ago. Ha Ha! She loved it, and my heart was so overjoyed.
Ginger #1 is in love with Rapunzel now. So, I made her a matching cake.

I love the fabric. How did I miss that collection. I don't believe I've seen it before. Your Ginger is gorgeous. She would fit right in with our family of redheads and strawberry blondes. She looks so squeezable. Can you tell I don't have any little children at home? LOL.
ReplyDeleteThis fabric is probably 2-3 years-old. I can't even remember! Thank you for stopping by!
DeleteI really like this block! Beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteLovely so far. Can't wait to see the 70 " of it. I am sure it will look fab!
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric. Love the pattern. This is going to be gorgeous when finished.
ReplyDeleteI was totally laughing at your jokes. Don't worry--you are funny. =) I love the fabric and the blocks you are making with them. It is so fun.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Ginger #1. Lucky girl got a pillow AND an amazing cake.
Love your blocks! A great reason to strip :).
ReplyDeleteOH wow, I would have held on to the fabric forever too. I LOVE it. And I love strip piecing. I think it's my favorite, because it's so mindless and easy and it always looks good. Have a fabulous, not so G rated week. Nice to meet you.
