How does a week sneak up on one so fast? I have been a day behind all week, and nearly forgot that today was sew and tell. I had this in the works so i just got to sewing like crazy so that i could share this top with you all. I see a color trend in my life. The rooms in my house are blue and green...furniture...and the fabric colors i gravitate to are usually in the green and blue family somewhere. I wonder what a color says about someone?
I used a snippets charm pack and some other vintage reproduction fabrics that i had in my stash to get the total squares from 40 to 48...what Deb's pattern called for. I had to improvise in a lot of places on this one because i did not have enough of any one fabric, typical. I really really did not want to go to the store and buy more, so i just made do.
Today is sew and tell...good news Amylouwho is going to continue this through the summer with a little help...our motivation will carry on! Head on over and see all the other pretty's that are being shared. You are going to love everything. I am sure of it.

Very pretty! So simple, but fun! I always look at the blue fabrics first:)
Thanks for sharing.
Ooh, Leslie, I like this even better than the one I made today. Congrats on making do with what you had, too !
I also added a fabric square or two to stretch my charm pack !
This is so pretty! I'm a huge fan of charm packs :-) (And layer cakes, and jelly rolls . . . oh my!)
i think that's just lovely! the colors all work so nicely together. i'm a big fan of blue and green also.

Gee... you're just cranking them out aren't you? I like it. It's so soft and pretty.
I always love seeing how you change patterns or plans to make use of what you have. Great job!
And love those snippets charms - they're so sweet.
What a great quilt! I love all the repro prints, they are always my favorites. I always gravitate towards pinks and greens. Or polka dots. I am a total softie for polka dots.
Another one under your belt!
Love reproductions!! They are so cheerful! Great quilt!
Blessings,

I think blue and green say that you are a calm person. Cute quilt. I didn't get my sew and tell done this week :(
What an adorable quilt! Beautiful.
i'm a blue green person too. Completely.
I love how simple and pretty this is!
So pretty and simple! Yep I'm a blue and green person as well.
Choosing fabric from your stash sure worked well for this quilt. Maybe that's why it's good to kind of have a personal style instead of just buying random fabrics that don't go with anything else you might have!
This is a great quilt, such lovely soft colors. I think your color choices mean that you are a calm centered person.
What wonderful fabrics! Very pretty indeed...
Colors do a say a lot about a person. Greens, blues...beautiful together!
Snippets is some of my favorite fabric right now. They look great in your beautiful quilt! You've done a fantastic job!
Went to a used book sale today for homeschool families and thought of you and wanted to encourage you that you're doing the best thing right now for you and your kids.
I admire that!
What a great way to use a charm packet or two!
It looks really lovely Leslie, I love it! Did you like the size of it??
Great effort. It looks lovely. You must have a good stash.
It looks lovely! Good for you for using up the stash! And I think green and blue must mean you're a very calm person. :-)
How do you finish so many quilts? I love it!
Leslie, this is simply lovely!!! I love the reproduction looking fabrics. Greens and blues are my favorites as well. Very soothing!
I love it! You have such a gift~
