My friend Betsy Chutchian adds so much to everything she creates. She has meaning and stories and they are wonderful!
Her newest book is Classic & Heirloom and features her fabric, all warm and cozy! In the photo of her on the left, all the quilts behind her and the blue one on the table are in her book.
Do you see that pink on on the wall... yes.. that one...
Kimberly Jolly and I talked about 'That Perfect Pink' on my podcast the other day. I think this one in Betsy's book really showcases the fabric.
But how will that look in my Hometown Girl? Let's sew up a block and see!
Pretty sweet right? Red/Gray/Cream or maybe I'll sprinkle in some of the print with green so it's a bit more scrappy.
The BRILLIANT part about this book is that each quilt comes in three sizes.
But not just ANY three sizes...
- A mini with smaller blocks (6.5" is the one above!)
- A lap size with medium size blocks
- And a King size with larger blocks!
All the cutting directions for all 3 sizes .. it's a super book for your collection!
Watch Betsy talk about the inspiration behind this... you'll love it even more!
Flipping through I could NOT resist another quilt in her book
The tiles, she has them scrappy.. but ...
What if I did just 2 colors?
This is a PERFECT 'Start & Stopper' for sewing patchwork. I can have this stack ready by my machine and use 2 strips to Start and Stop my other projects. And as I do that.. I will make a quilt!
I couldn't wait .. I had to sew up some.
Ok.. true confession... I set my timer...
I sewed this whole group of strips in just ONE HOUR.. wow!!! That means in about 2 1/2 hours I could have a lap size quilt..
You can not beat that speed for anything!
you MUST buy a copy now, it's really SUCH an awesome deal with all the projects and sizes!
Question... How big should I make my Red and White?
Lap or Bed size?
