"Morning Joe"

    "Morning Joe" is done!  

     All I have to say is these Schnibbles patterns are fun, fun, fun!!!

     I was trying to decide if I liked the pattern more or was it the fabric that made it just so enjoyable to sew, but in the end I think it was a combination.  A well written pattern and fun fabrics.

Here's a close up of one of the blocks.....and I'm thrilled that I have points!  There are times, and it might be because back when I worked I rushed, but this quilt has "points" and I couldn't be happier!

So, here's a recap of the details:

"Morning Joe" by Miss Rosie's Quilt Shop/Schnibbles

Measures: 53 x 53

Fabric used:  Potluck by American Jane Patterns/Sandy Klop for Moda


I have a little yardage of this line that I could piece to use for the back, and I have a super cute piece of yellow and white cuddle from the Dr. Seuss line, so the question is "what should I use"?

I think I'll leave both out and revisit this issue over the weekend.

     AND, in the middle of a great afternoon of sewing, my "Reliable" iron crapped out on me.  One minute I was pressing a nice steamed border and the next the darn thing was as cold as ice!
I still have the box and receipt so I'm thinking an email to the company might be in order tomorrow.  In the meantime, I pulled out an old Rowenta that will have to do.....

   On another note, hubby went out to work this morning at 6:45 and the car registered 0 (that's zero).    Hope you are all staying warm!
