Clementine

I had some more Clementine in the stash and thought it was about time it made it into a finished quilt. 
You know, that fabric that sits in the little bin all by itself waiting. 
For what? It doesn't know yet, because you don't know.
But it sits there.
Incubating.
And then one day it magically turns into a quilt! 
Well, something like that anyway. 







The binding is a purple stripe and the backing is a large flowers on pink print from the Amelia by Me and My Sister Designs.

That's what happens when you wait too long after a fabric line is released to get the backing/binding. 
And Clementine was actually one of my very first purchases as a new quilter. 
I think it was the third fabric line I ever sewed with... that seems like a long time ago. 
I actually made this with it. 
Well, two of those.
I gave one away to my mother-in-law... I think.
It predates the blog. 
But this project was actually leftovers from this

Anyway, I ramble. 
Oh, and it's 37" x 37" and in the shop.

Waiting impatiently...

Sew... 

I'm waiting, not patiently, for an order to arrive from The Fat Quarter Shop so I can finish some quilts I have in progress. 
Sew... sew... what to sew? what to sew?
Scraps! 
I found a project I liked here
A little string therapy would be nice. 
Made a bunch of blocks in various colors.
But...
I found in organizing my scraps by color that I had an unusually large amount of one particular color.
And it's not even my favorite color.
It's my little who's favorite!
Pink.
In all it's many shades and hues and pepto-iness.
Like I said, not my personal fav.

Side note, I have a baby shower to go to...
A girl's...
Solution!!

A pink string quilt! 


This looks like a jelly roll. 
Makes me hungry.


With the back.

And all laid out.
Too pink for me. :)
My little who wanted to keep it.
Every color has a lover.
But I don't think I can make another by Saturday!


Besides, I have a surprise in the works for her too :)
