Sneak Peek: Nr. 44 2" strips top
I'm sorry that I can't (rather, don't want to - no one is telling me I can't) show you more of this one. I'd like to get the pattern written first.
So, all I am going to show you is this.....
It'll be number 44 in my 2" quilts series. I will tell you that when I made Balls and Chains, I made 20 extra blocks - and that snowball block is the basic building block of this one as well. I had 20, so I worked and worked until I had a design that would make up a queen size quilt with these 20 blocks (+ sashings, cornerstones and borders).
I will also say that I had it planned out in theory in November/December, but didn't have the guts to try it til now. I had to tweak it a bit to make it actually "do-able". You'll see......
But other than that, you will just have to check back in daily until I post it. I am trying to get the pattern written in the middle of a several other projects.
While you are here, check out the fantastic deals my sister has for you! These fat quarter bundles are a steal!! When Joann's has them for .99, people walk out with gobs of them - here they are for a great price and you don't even have to leave your house!
These 5 Fat Quarters are perfect for so many projects!
100% Cotton
Fat Quarter Yard (approx. 18" x 21")
5 Individual Pieces totaling 1.25 yards of fabric
These beauties are all part of Rachael's picks fabrics from Quilted Twins site. Five fabrics that coordinate and would work great together in a scrappy type quilt.
Because they are part of Rachael's Picks fabric families, you can order more yardage of any of the five fat quarters for backings, as well. Rachael plans to carry each of these fabrics as a regular thing in the QuiltedTwins fabric by the yard department.

This is a re-useable shopping bag that Becky brought over from Poland. It’s oh so pretty and oh so big! I forgot to get the measurements before I left the shop today, but it’s a healthy size bag. You can see it sitting on the cutting board there in the first picture.
I have no idea what content
Of Polish origin
From Becky’s suitcase
This bag comes with ZERO guarantees as to how long it will last, though it seems like it will last a long time with normal wear and tear. Oops. Don’t tear it. Just put things in it!
This fabric comes pre-measured and pre-packaged in a “supposed” 2 yard piece. However, the ones that we’ve measured have all been short by 1 to 3 inches. When you buy this, you are buying whatever size is in the package. Knowing how hard Marvel fabrics are to get and that we paid for 2 yards, we’re selling it for a flat $11.98 for the piece, if it’s 1 yard, 30” or 2 yards, 3”.
100% Cotton
Almost 2 yards in one continuous piece.
