Friday Fabric Play Day

 

Here in my progress on my version of the

Kingfisher Quilt @ Stitched in Color 

I have been enjoying the eye candy in the 

#kingfisherquilt

on Instagram and had this on my list for a long time.

I have had a stack of these  Hexagon Flowers in my sewing stash 

for a very, very long time ... since 2009.

I started this plan Here

These folded hexagon flowers are not EPP.

They were made from this tutorial: 

Tuna Can Hexagon Flowers by Cindy Prince @ Q&N

When I came across these folded hexagon flowers recently while I was spring cleaning, I decided to combine the two and drew up this plan.

I am machine appliqueing the hexagon flowers to the diamonds.

I am also machine stitching around the center hexagon. 

This project is a "Dreami" squirrel at the moment,

mostly because I sewed more Folded Hexagon Flowers 

while I was away sitting and stitching. 

If I can get myself to stop playing with these flowers and diamonds

I am going to try to catch up on my alphabet quilt blocks.

Ummm ... maybe tomorrow ... :) 

Hmmm ... maybe not ... :/

The weather is forecast for a good Saturday

 to work in the garden 

Time will tell.

Have a Happy Quilty Weekend! 

Penny Patch Cut and Ready to Sew!

Katniss says, "It is about time! 

Where have you been?

I have been right here in the sewing room waiting for you."

The Penny Patch Quilt-Along is in full swing at

Stitched in Color

and there are some great quilts in the

Linky Party

I best get sewing if I am going to join in!

I am making an Apple Pie Penny Patch quilt.

Here are my fabrics:

I  picked these fabrics a month ago and was ready to go and posted this here in 

Pick Your Own Fabrics 

  and then while I was waiting for the cutting requirements, I got busy with other projects and these pretty fabrics sat in stack in my sewing room.

This is my color scheme: 

Fabric A - green

Fabric B - red

Fabric C ... pop color ... yellow

Low Volume

(hmmm ... looks like I shall be moving the dark check over to the red/black side)

Fabric N - the squares in the front.

I am making a twin-sized Penny Patch Quilt.

When I fussy cut the squares from the apple pie recipe print,
I had some small pieces left over so I cut them to 2" squares rather than cut a strip
so I could save the remaining print for another project.

Here are my cut 2" strips. 

You can really see the contrast here between the colors and the low volume.

That black/white check is definately getting moved left as it sticks out too much to be low volume and the light green/red print with the white background will be moved over to the middle with the lighter fabrics.

Here are all my squares.

Time to sew!

My 1st 2 Penny Patch Blocks!

Katiniss and I will be in our sewing room.

Have a happy quilty day!
