July's New Project "LUCKY"

     I wasn't going to start anything new this month but I couldn't help myself...... this pile of yumminess was out on my ironing surface so I told myself I could iron the fabrics and get them ready for cutting "one of these days".

These are all Moda B&C Solids with a few stash solids thrown in for variety.  On the bottom of the pile is a hunk of Moda Bright White......

So, I press them up and figured "what the heck"  Cut out one block just to see how it looks.

I love the sherbet like colors most of all so I cut one of those first....

BTW, I'm using "LUCKY" by Camille Roskelly of Thimbleblossoms fame.

Voile!   Block 1 of 12 done........

And then I got the bug......I cut 2 more out

The more I sewed the more I LOVED working with solids......

So, here I am with the other 9 ready to go.  I've got them cut out and the HST's are sewn and ready for pressing open and trimming.  YES, I still make them larger than I need to and trim down using my handy dandy "Bloc Loc " ruler!

Now........This quilt finishes at 62 X 81, which is a nice size but I have a King size bed and I'm anxious to put a new summer quilt on next summer so I need more than the 12 it calls for.  I'm thinking I need 18 more.  What I think I'll start off doing is make the 12 and then I'll make the rest......

Stay Tuned!
