Much to do . . . and a giveaway too!

I'm not one for quilt patterns. Not that there is anything wrong with patterns, mind you. It's just I don't have the brain to decipher the cutting directions and sewing instructions.




It's true. When I was a senior in high school my parents took me to Chicago to the Johnson O'Connor Research Foundation to find my aptitudes. After a couple of days of groovy tests and whatnot we sat on the opposite side of a gargantuan mahogany desk and listened to the results. Among other revealing insights, they revealed I'm not spatial. My mother has assured me time and time again that I am in fact special. I'm just not spatially inclined.

Hence my phobia of patterns.




Anywho . . .

I've been working on a quilt from a pattern called Bento Box. And I'm making a king sized quilt. It requires 224 small blocks like these.




Which will then be assembled to make 56 large blocks like these. (Somebody shoot me!)




So, the entire king sized quilt is made up of 50+ different Amy Butler prints. I used a small bit of this decorator weight fabric from her August Fields line. But I have four 1/2 yard cuts left over. I thought you might like it.





And making a king sized quilt means lots of scraps leftover. Along with the August Fields yardage, I thought I'd also give away all the scraps. Cause scraps are good. Especially if you are crafty like Amy or AmandaJean. So I'll give you all these scraps too.







And, I'm getting ready to start a brand new quilt made with nothing but the delectable Daisy Chain line so I'll throw in all of those scraps too.
