I pulled this UFO out of my drawer on Friday for my next leader/ender assembly project. Mod Art was started in 2008 using 5" charms from an online Yahoo! nickel swap group I used to belong to. Each month we had several swap themes and I'm guessing I just grabbed these bold large print squares and started sewing them together. Here is my starting point.
I had enough blocks sewn together for 4 rows and I decided I wanted a 5th row so I pulled out my fun charm bin and added these to the mix.
For some reason I had trimmed them down to 8.5" so I followed suit and found more of the sashing polka dot in my stash. J-Meow was on supervisory duty... "I think you might be onto something Grandma".
Here is how it looks on my design wall this morning.
I have been collecting black and white prints thinking that I want to use them as accents in my Project Linus quilts so I thought I'd start with the sashing cornerstones. You can see a glimpse above of the B&W print I'm planning to use for the border laying under the polka dot sashing fabric.
I'm thinking this will be a fun quilt for tween or teen girl! I'm linking up to

ReplyDeletePerfect for a tween or teen girl. A touch of black makes the colors pop. A lot of these fabrics make me think of the 1960s fabrics in my mini skirts and dresses.
