From deep within the depths of my stash, I found these three fabrics that look like they should have been bought with a single project in mind. No, they were not. They were bought at various times over the last several years. How they happened to meet up this past fall, I do not recall, but I sure am glad for this happy accident!
The neutral fabric is by Andover. The yellow is by Joanna Figueroa/Moda. The peach is by Marcus. I can't be any more specific because I've tossed all the essential info with the selvages. My guess is that they are pretty well aged.
Like I said, they were all matched up back in the fall, but I didn't get around to doing anything with them. I brought them with me to Florida in the hopes that I'd have time for a quickie project.
I cut out a 3-Yard Quilt yesterday called Modern Charm. I cannot tell you which specific book because I only took a picture of the cutting instructions. But I'm sure I borrowed my friend Jan's book; so I can identify later, if I need/want to.
Obviously, with only 3 yards of three fabrics, this will be a small quilt, and I have in mind yet another quilt for new grandbaby Dillon, arriving in April. She already has one quilt prepared; this will be #2. (I have a sneaking suspicion that I will be making quilts for grandchildren for years and years.) *smile*
I have sewn and cut all the sub-units. Now to stitch the remaining churn dash blocks. They will alternate with the yellow dot fabric. I am hoping that the resulting quilt will be a gentle, calming quilt for a new baby girl.
I have already made a couple of 3-Yard Quilts - click here to see one - and all the Frankfort Girls have made them, as well. Some have made quite a few!
I am motivated to keep going on Modern Charm, so look for a fast finish!
Happy Quilting, Friends!
