Is this cheating?? I kind of feel like it is but it was easy to sew this one up when we got back from our outing.
Our HeartStrings’ challenge this month is Layer Cakes … or 10 inch squares cut from stash. I’ve been contemplating what I might piece. I’ve got a lot on my to do list for our up coming Maine sew-in so I decided to go easy and piece a little quilt top … The hourglass blocks finish at 8.5 inches … and I use a 10 inch square on my quarter square triangle die.
First I had to find one of the fabrics that I pulled the other day that I could cut five 8.5 inch squares from. There was only the puppy fabric so I pulled a couple coordinating fabrics from stash.
I cut two 10 inch squares from the gray and the brown and this is what I ended up with. I had one more Paw patrol critter so he will be donated with this one!
June’s Challenge met!
Cheating? Not at all. I find myself behind for this month. I only bought layer cakes a couple of times years ago and they were a hot mess. I do make patterns that call for them but cut from stash. Any progress is good in my book.
