varsity arrives

Recently, I seem to be starting more projects than I'm finishing.  We all know that creates a bottle neck at the quilting machine.  Lots of tops sitting around waiting for backs and quilting.

But when I saw these cute Varsity mini's in my friend's etsy shop (Stitches 'n' Giggles), I went off my "fabric purchasing diet".

 I've been drooling over these 3 fabrics ever since Varsity was announced.

This line by sweetwater, has all those boyish designs and colors that their line Reunion had.

I like to buy from "Stitches 'N' Giggles" on etsy because she has the kinds of fabrics that I like, the boyish stuff.  She carries the big name fabrics:  Me and My Sister Designs, Fig Tree, Bonnie and Camille etc but she loves the Sweetwater fabric lines.

This is the beginnings of a postage or checker board baby quilt.

Also on the design wall this week is the back for "my small world" 

a shameless copy of JenKingwell's "my small world" found in the Spring 2015 issue of QUILTmania.

 So, that means pulling all the scraps out again and making big messes:

and fitting the pieces together till I liked what I see.
