Sewing the Alphabet

A is for ... Anything?

No ... nada ... nothing

So let's move on to B is for Blue Toile.  A little back story:  In 2009 I combined simple blue-and-white pinwheels with 6" fussy-cut squares from a cute blue toile to make a throw quilt for the church's youth group auction.


I was left with Swiss cheese, but was able to salvage several more squares that I planned to put together with some of the other leftover pieces ... some day.  Bein' as B was at the top of my stack, this was one of the first projects that came with me to the new house two years ago.  And I was quick to start on it till I broke my right ankle about two weeks later.  Needless to say, my enthusiasm for the project waned ... till last week when I started this reorganization project.

I made some simple 9 patches to combine with the toile squares.


I was short two focus squares so I cut a couple from a companion floral fabric.  Those two went into the center of this 36" x 36" baby quilt that will be going to Jack's Basket.

With back and binding, it's progressed to the TBQ pile and the box is empty!!

  6. I landed at your blog at the C post so had to backup and read about the other letters. Gosh, I like that little Toile quilt. I think I have some of that fabric in pink so I think I see a pink toile quilt in my future. Gee thanks.
