"Take a Break" top finished
When you begin a project- you often have an idea in mind - but sometimes it doesn't come out quite as grand and glorious as you hoped. This is one of those.
I had seen this, (I thought I remembered it this way, anyway) and I liked it - unfortunately for me, I couldn't find it again to look at it and check my result with what I remembered.
I was going for a fresh, quiet, clean look with pretty colors. Maybe quilting will help spice it up a bit. I'm considering something like cross hatching or straight line quilting - lots of it!
It's really only made with 4.5" strips cut into lengths and separated by 4.5" squares. It's explained with pictures in the pattern. I did write it up as a pattern, but it's more of a "How to" than a real pattern!
I'll keep you posted on how this one turns out after it is finished!
My sis has some bundled up fat quarters that might interest you! Feel free to look around!
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.
