Little did I know that when Sharon and Dee presented the idea of doing a virtual sew along, I would gearshift into mega-hyper-mode and crank out quilt tops like this. The quilt we are making is so daggone E-A-S-Y! And, as I keep repeating, makes up so daggone cute!
The newest member of the sew along family is Lulu Lane Spring Dreams. I hatched the idea a week ago, and now I have a quilt top to show you.
I dug into my remnants of Village, made in 2018, and to my utter delight and surprise, because I had a jelly roll squirreled away in there, I had enough fabric to make the beauty you see above. How excellent is that!?!? I call this a surprise quilt in my title because before the middle of last week, I had zero plans for using this fabric, and zero plans for making this quilt.
Happy Accident - that could be another name for it. *smile*
If this doesn't convince you to dig into your fabric stash and get started on making this quilt, then I don't know what will. A project this simple is sure to motivate and inspire, yes? Stokes all the sewing and quilting mojo, for sure.
When we first introduced this quilt along, I provided a chart for making the quilt in various sizes. I am re-running the chart here for any of you who are "rear'n to go" - numbers at your fingertips for whatever size quilt suits your fancy.
My Lulu Lane Spring Dreams is made with 72 blocks, just like my original one was, which I am just now realizing I have not shared yet here on the blog. *Ahem.* Well, instead, you can click here to see my table topper size with just 9 blocks. Coming up on Monday, I will show you two additional finishes: my original Spring Dreams Quilt and Sharon's beautiful finish in a size not listed above. Hers is made with 16 blocks. The pattern is certainly adaptable.
Hope you are having a great day. RAIN here. But I hear the birds chirping and the robins I see in the yard are certainly happy about all the worms.
Happy Quilting, Friends!
She a beauty, love the yellow! Hapys titching!
