Those Little Postcards Patterns

They are so darn cute

And easy! 

Purple Haze by Villa Rosa Designs

I don't remember where I picked this one up, probably Susan's in Gatlinburg.  That was way back in March.  Or it could have been Tennessee Quilts in Jonesborough in July ... Anyway, I came right home and pulled some fabric.  Where it sat until Sunday.

In my resolve to move stuff out or put it away, I found that pile calling my name.  The colors so bright, the pattern so simple.  Really!  Quarter squares, squares, and rectangles -- couldn't be simpler.  At least I could cut everything and stage it as leaders and enders.

Well, you've heard me say before how easily a L/E task will take over my life ...

I made a few mistakes, first of which was not reading the pattern thoroughly before beginning.  I anticipated how the quarter squares would be made and therefore mine ended up 4" instead of the intended 5".  Fortunately, I had not cut any of the background strips for the blocks and, even though I cut one strip too narrow, I had enough background to eek out a 4x14 setting.

All that's left is to finish the rows and put it all together.  And I never even made a project box for it!
