Let's Book It - April 2015


Where has the time gone?  Not only the month is almost over, but it is the 4th month of the year - already!  And Spring has not happened here yet.


I love this book and could make every quilt in it - really.  I will be re-visiting this one in the near future.

This was the project I chose for the month of April.  What is really nice with this book is that Pat has a chart for each quilt in various sizes - baby, lap, queen, king.  So the math work is all right there for you.


I had to resort to an indoor photo as the weather has been horrid for outdoor photo sessions.  I decided to go with a 6 X 6 block setting which made this 72" square.  It didn't even put a dent in my 2.5" squares, but I did a great job at depleting the strips. As tempting as it is to just call this done, there will be two borders added like in the book. 

Remember - large projects can be broken down into workable monthly sessions and used for Let's Book It each month with show of progress.  Now I could carry this one over to next month for those borders, but I have another project/book I want to visit.

This month's charm to go with the Vintage Machine Pin is the Carolina Lily.

Now it is time for you to share:

    I'm going to have to check out this book since so many of you like it. Your quilt looks great. You must have used up half your scrap batch on it.

    I've seen that book, many times. I love scrappy, but, have a hard time making scrappy stuff myself. I'm addicted to yardage.
