See these scrappy squares? Well....Do you remember the custom made especially for me honey-bun?
I told you about it last week...anyhoo...
It's what I have been working with this last few days in my studio. I used it to cut alot of squares...and I mean alot!
I had 1 1/2" squares everywhere...and I mean literally everywhere in my studio because it has been so stinkin hot here....
And so I had my fan on and my squares were flyin' around like confetti...maybe in celebration of a finish!
I used over 1000 of them....
To make these 1" finished squares...
Which are the sections for joining the blocks together in this quilt....
My "Paper Doll" quilt!
I dropped it off to my friend Helen for quilting yesterday morning....whooo hooo!
I'm sure you're excited to get it back. I know I would be bouncing around waiting by the phone.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be another special heirloom. By the way, who gets the quilt someday? Kassidy or Sophie? You just might have to make another one or they could take turns each year.
I need to look away because I just know I'll become addicted to those tiny, little squares and then nothing else will get done! I want to make some right now. So cute.
ReplyDeletethose tiny little squares - what a wonderful job and so colorful.
ReplyDeleteI am inspired.

Lori...what an amazing quilt! Gosh I wish I lived somewhere near you, I'd take every applique class you taught...your applique is unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteWow! I can't wait to see it all put together and quilted! I love the blocks. They are so cute!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on a finish of your quilt. I've loved seeing it come together month after month.
ReplyDeleteAnd those 1" squares look challenging. I don't even see a pin, and yet they all match perfectly.
Cute, cute, cute...can't wait to see the finished quilt!
ReplyDeleteYou know I adore that darling quilt and can't wait to see it quilted. Helen will do a wonderful job. I love the little 1" sguare border. I think that will give it such a perfect finish.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing the finished quilt! It's been fun watching the progress.
ReplyDeleteHoly Cow. Oh my gosh. I'm dying to see this quilt. Your applique is like painting. It is perfect. I admire your talent so much. And the tiny squares!!! Really I just can't wait. Remember I'm leaving on Monday with very very limited internet (you know what I mean in Star Valley and my sister is 40 min outside afton on a dirt road). So before I leave I want to see this. Get better. Pass that darn thing!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this quilt! I've never anticipated a pattern coming out, as much as this one. I've thought about it more than I can say.
ReplyDeleteSo excited. Thanks for your creativeness!
I love your quilt, can't wait to see it all finished. I am like Carol and wish I lived closer to take your applique classes. Have you ever thought about doing a post on applique to help out all of us who do not live near by? I would love to have pointers from you. Thanks for all your wonderful posts.
ReplyDeleteI love the blocks...they really are so colorful!

ReplyDeleteI am so excited to see this quilt all finished. I want to make one right now!
ReplyDeleteLike the song on your blog says, "I'm in heaven"! Can hardly wait to get my honey bun and to see your finished quilt!!!
ReplyDeleteAaagghhh! I'm so excited just looking at that quilt and your sashing strips and the jacks!!!Aaghhh! So cute!!! :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. Sorry for the freak out. I just got so excited! Can't wait to see the finished product!
I so love that Paper Doll quilt. Those fabrics you used for your custom honey bun and seeing them stitched together! OH...I love it all. I can't wait to see this quilt when it comes back to you. You did an amazingly wonderful job on this quilt Lori. You are one special quilter. Your work always inspires me. Try to stay cool. It hit 100 with heat index of 110 here in the St. Louis/IL area today. Have a great week-end!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I have that same blue glass basket. I got it for a wedding gift 23 years ago! I have never seen another one. So cool. Have a great day! :o)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post!! I love all of your 'inspiration'! You make a person want to come and hang out with you!
