Awhile back I shared this photo with you....my Color Me Retro blocks.

I finished piecing my blocks...finally!

After auditioning a few different layouts, this is what I decided on....

It is all sewn together...now to quilt it!   I am thinking about a circular quilting design.... 
Happy Sewing!

pb&j and a giveaway

PB&J....love this line by basicgrey!

I made three different groups of five fabrics.

Then I cut about an 8 inch section of each grouping.

After sewing the units together and then quilting them, the next step was to decide on binding.  (oh silly blogger....I wish it would stop acting up!)

The finished piece 12 x 24....love it!!

Happy Mother's Day to all of you!  Here I am with my three kids at home....missed my older daughter!

Ready to see more of my Hungry Caterpillar project?? 

I cut these pieces into 6.5 inch squares and sewed them into a row.

I divided the food fabric....

into these two different pieces.  I leave part of the blue line on as a sewing guide....(oh and there goes blogger again.....ugh!)

Some of you asked....I cut the panel in half so I will have two pieces in the quilt.

This project just makes me smile!  Happy Sewing!
