What better fabric than a little PB and J?!!! Exactly - just perfect, I thought so too. You see...it has the alphabet, which is soooo fitting for what we do (we work with little people). But it is not kids only fabric - it has grown up elements too, like its lovely flowers and patchwork and really great colours (love the denim blue). So I chopped up a pile (and added a few from stash)...
Did some chain piecing...
And ended up with a log cabin-ish type of block. I just went with colours and proportions that looked good to my eye.
Now I have this vision for a scrappy, tone on tone, herringbone sashing of sorts. Not sure how I am going to make this happen yet - going to sleep on it.
What are you working on lately? Hope it's making you smile like these did for me today - this was some much needed sewing time - always relaxes the soul.
Linking up with W.I.P. Wednesday with Lee at Freshly Pieced.

This is going to be such a cute quilt! I love the herringbone idea and can't wait to see what you come up with!
ReplyDeleteI love PB&J! Your coworker is going to be so thrilled! As a teacher, I know I'd be ecstatic. :)
ReplyDeletethey are fabulous! and, oh my goodness, i always photograph my strung up chain piecing, too. =) i enjoy making it and how fun it looks when it comes off the machine. never can resist a photo of it.
ReplyDeleteOooh I was so tempted by precuts of that line, but couldn't really decide on a plan for it, so I passed. Your little log cabins with the alphabet inside them are darling! What a special gift--your coworker is going to be thrilled.
ReplyDeleteWhat a thoughtful and perfect gift this will make! I think the log cabin ABCs are so sweet. Quilt squares always have a way of making me smile too!
ReplyDeleteThis is an exciting project! It'll be a fab gift :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. Such a nic thing to make!
