Scrappy Happy Summer

Happy Sunday!  Happy Fathers Day!  I hope you are celebrating a bit today.

I am finally getting to enjoy the beginning of summer, which means I get to do a bit more sewing.  YAY!  I am joining in Lori Holt's Scrappy Happy Summer sew along--so I started auditioning fabrics for the first project, a tablerunner, and I got a bit carried away!!

The next thing I knew, I had fabrics cut out for the first block and used my Alphabitties to keep them in order!  (I love those things!!)

Then, I started putting some of the pieces together...

So, I was on a roll (well, with ONE block!!!) and couldn't stop!  I pieced the rest of it together and was happy with my choices.  I can't wait to get back in there and cut some more this afternoon.

This sew along uses Lori's new pattern Cut. Press. Sew. Quilt. and you can make this block in four different sizes, depending on your needs.  This is the beginning of a tablerunner, but I am thinking of making an 18" block for a pillow or two, also!  I am trying to use scraps from my barn quilt and another sew along quilt that I am not done with (ooops!!) so I have some cute coordinating pieces for my own home.  What do you think so far?

Until next time,
Michelle
