and lots & lots of pure charm packs arrived
for the philadelphia modern quilt guild's project pure!

OUT
1.94 in kona chartreuse cut for charm pack quilt a long
& 1.3yards in remix charms
karrielyne tells you to draw a line... and sew 1/4" away on either side...
and i do that sometimes... but i also use this ruler..
it's 1/2" wide... & you line up the center line on the points of your square...
draw on either side.. and then sew directly on those lines!
i got all my half square triangles done last night...
now i need to press & trim them!
the green is going to make for one very bright quilt!!!
and.. nothing in or out for my bee blocks.. but the last of them arrived!!
so now i can get started on cutting sashing & putting it all together!

Those echino prints are gorgeous!
You are KILLING me with the Remix charms. I can't find them ANYWHERE on the Interwebs! Do you have a source?
JulieFrick,
they will be available in september!
Yummy! Can't wait to see that green...the only thing better than grey is "the other g-word"
GREEN!
I can only wish and dream to have a stash like yours!
I love my little ruler like that for HSTs....I only use that every time!
So super productive- but would we really expect anything less? heheh!
What is that ruler called and where can I get one?! I need one of those!
I can't wait to see all that Neptuney goodness put together :)
*squeaks* You're remix quilt is gonna be super cute! I really love that green!
Is that a hose holding down your quilt? LOL! Don't you just love how the wind cooperates sometimes? ;)
Now I know what to do with those 1/2" rulers. I just ran to JoAnn's & got one - Thanks - that makes all of these HST so much easier.
Can't wait to see your Neptune quilt come together.
Don't know what I want to snatch more...the remix or the anna maria horner...wouldn't even think of the Neptune, I know you'd chase me like mad! (Good week, nothing in...or out but maybe a quilt top next week if I finish the darn pieced border today)
Great fabrics...I really want to start keeping track of the ins and outs of my stash...so question...does it count as "Out" if you finish a quilt top...even if you're going to keep it for yourself?
I've been doing the same thing with my 1/2 square triangles, using a 1/2" ruler and sewing on the line, instead of sewing 1/4" away from a line in the middle. I'm much, much happier with the results.
Oh such beautiful stuff! I do hope you decide to sell some of that Neptune! ;)
This stash report was not nearly what I expected it to be! Brainstorming on what to do with that beautiful set of Pure.
Wow! 10.5 yards of Neptune. I can't wait to see what you do with it! I love that little ruler...with the amount of HSTs I'll be sewing soon I am definitely getting one.
I have that awesome little half inch ruler and use it the exact same way! Gotta love a little tool that can make a job a LOT easier!
And the fabric? YUM!
