A nice road trip to Disneyland and back gave me the opportunity to work on the next two rows of the Forget Me Not Sew Along pattern. (Add yes, I did do a bit of sewing inside the park as well). I love how scrappy this piece is turning out to be.
Now it is time for me to add the points that will turn this flower into a star. I'm not sure how big Sue Daley has planned for this quilt to be, but I plan to stop once we get around a baby size blanket.
I decided to use some vintage fabric. The fabric is from the stash of the Prayers & Squares chapter at Pacific Beach United Methodist Church. I had intended to use the fabric for a simple patchwork baby quilt. But why settle for the quick and easy when you can take the time to do much more!
I'll continue to keep you posted on my progress. I'm a bit behind in starting but I plan to catch up.
Have you heard that Sue Daley over at Sue Daley Designs is doing an English paper pieced sew along? It is called the "Forget Me Not Sew Along". I found out about it through a link someone shared on Instagram. After a quick hashtag search with the words, 'forgetmenotfabricsewalong' I was able to see the growing list of individuals that have joined the sew along.
Well, I've decided to join in the fun too! Is it any surprise? Really, how can a English paper piecing girl and lover of hexies like me resist a quilt along like this? There is still time for you to join in as well. You can find the links on Sue's website to help get you started. Keep up to date with each new installment on her blog and then post pictures of your progress on Instagram. Make sure to use the hastag: #forgetmenotfabricsewalong when posting your pictures. I would love to see your progress. I'll be sharing my pictures on Instagram and here on the blog.
