Do you ever just sit and play in EQ and look at your fabric stash and think about what you can make?
I do! OFTEN!! and I really don’t keep a lot of yardage in my stash at all, I like to use it up and it’s only occasionally that I impulse buy (ok so I just did with Connecting threads- but I got a bunch of neutrals and blenders- that doesn’t really count, right??)
My biggest piles of fabric are 0-1/2yd and the 1/2yf to 1yd (under 1yd)
I then often think about Accuquilt dies and thought of the Snail Trail/Monkey Wrench die, I have both the big and the small dies and hadn’t used the small die since they released it (I usually get a test die before release then after it’s released I get a new die and by then I usually just stick it in my cabinet)
I had this pretty red fabric leftover from Singapore and I came up with this design.
The snail trail blocks are 8″ and the side blocks are 4″ so the quilt ended up being 24″ x 24″
I had enough of a red for the backing and used the same grey for binding.
The quilt design is called “Diamonds” from QCT5
Anja adopted this quilt and uses it as a picnic blanket in her “kitchen and ice-cream stand”
That’s a perfect little picnic quilt for her! Cute!
