Ruby Tuesday

Ruby
Yes, I know it's been FOREVER since I updated my blog.  I'm still getting caught up on some old and new blocks of the month.   This seems to have been the Summer of UFOs for me.


But everyone needs a little something to spark their creative juices.   I am totally in love with Bonnie & Camille's upcoming fabric collection, Ruby.   I bought a fat eighth bundle.   I made this.  Bliss.   Oh wait - that's their last collection!  I love the addition of grey to this new line and I love the brighter green.


The pattern is Basket Case by Cluck Cluck Sew.  Leaving off the borders (which would mean waiting until October for Ruby yardage to hit stores!), the quilt measures 50 by 70 - perfect width to use a white Minky dot on the back and have a cozy, snuggly quilt.


And next I've pulled out ANOTHER old UFO - I have all the blocks done and now I just need to put it together with the pieced sashing.   I forgot how pretty these blocks are!

  4. Oh, I love that basket pattern! So far I've not been tempted with Ruby, but I was slow to come around to Bliss too, so we'll see.
    I'm very excited Second Story is back out and on your sewing table, I love that pattern. Who cares what you're working on, any time spent in your sewing room is time well spent, enjoy every minute!

  6. What a fun pattern! I'll have to check that out. Would be a fun Christmas quilt. Yours is bright and cheerful. Kind of reminds me of Valentine's Day. Congrats on plowing your way through your UFO's. Way to go!
