Don't miss out on entering my Just Wickedly Ghastlie Giveaway here. The entries close tonight at Midnight.

Yesterday I started a new quilt. It is one that has been on the "To Make List" for a long time. I bought the fabrics for this 4 years ago.

The plan for this began when I bought a couple of packs of charms from Calico Gals in Syracuse, NY in April 2009 when I was just a total newborn to quilting. There were 75 charms in each pack and I had absolutely no idea what I was going to do with them.
Then that fall I went to my very 1st local quilt show, saw this quilt and knew that it was the perfect jumping off point for these charms. I went home, played around with scraps to work out what I wanted to do, hunted until I found yardage that I liked and then it all sat in a bag waiting. Until yesterday.
 These are the fabrics that I'm working with, the pile of what I'm dubbing Shabby Chic charms, the light green & white yardage and the blue yardage.
 I decided to start with the blue fabrics and of course ironing and cutting was the 1st order of business. Some 1 1/2" wide logs and some fast chain piecing and a short time later this is what I had.
After pressing, some more fast chain piecing was accomplished before I had to go pick up the kidlets from school.
 As soon as I hit "Publish" on this post, I'll be off to work on the next step.
