Out of LINE!

Several of you have been asking what to buy for Rosie Tweet...,

my new BOM starting in January.

Well,

My little experiment of staying in line,

"Bliss" line that is,

has proved to be unsuccessful!

Next time I have the chance to visit with this little lady, I will bow down at the feet of

Emily of Crazy Old Ladies,

(You are one talented girl Emily!!!)

.

for her ability to combine every fabric of a line and come out with something amazing.

I have failed at my attempt! It is just not my forte.

Pictured above are the roses from one of the blocks. You will need to choose fabrics that will give you a good contrast of light red and darker red as shown here.

ROSES and LEAVES: The fabrics I am using are mostly from Moda, but I had to throw in a few others for good measure. Pictured above are the four greens I am using for leaves. They are left overs from other projects, you will need 1/8 yard of four greens. The lighter red is from Moda, it is a marble, a really light salmon-y red that matches the red in the bliss line beautifully. You can use some pieces from "Bliss" to match it up at your local quilt shop. I will inquire as to which number it is the next time I go to my local shop and get you the exact number. The bright red is by Patrick Lose for Timeless Treasures. I bought this yardage a few months ago, but it has since sold out and is not available at my local store. You need 1/8 yard of both reds. From the "BLISS" line I am using these four pinks. I have a fat quarter of each. Number 55022 ( upper left corner) you will need to purchase 1/4 yard or a fat quarter, the others you only need 1/8 Yard and their numbers are 55021;55025; and the dot which didn't come with a number on my piece.
The other fabrics I am using are left to right: Essential dot -Moda; Barbara Jones print- Henry Glass; Plaid is "Aunt Grace" authentic 1930's Judy Rothermel - Marcus Fabrics; Tan Solid from Moda; and Aqua marble - Moda ~this marble matches exactly to the aqua color in the "Bliss" line.

An 1/8 yard of each should do just fine for these.

Here is a little sneak peek at what we are creating. Just a rough drawing, but I thought having some sort of idea of what we are creating would be nice for you to see. I haven't decided on a fabric for the bows that surround the center square, so if you would like to do these in one of the "Bliss" fabrics you will need to purchase 1/2 Yard for these ( just a guess.)
.

The background fabric is Antique Dots (color: snow) by Lakehouse. I have purchased 3 yards of this fabric, and I am hoping it will be plenty for the 50" square size of the project. If you would like to piece some borders for it to make it larger, you may need to take that into consideration when buying fabric.
So sorry this is all still up in the air, but that is how it goes with designing. It really makes you get discouraged having such a limited time to work with fabrics.

.

So ...... what do you think of this new project???

If you would like to be added to the list for this pattern, you can go here to sign up!

Hope the fabric requirements help you out now that "Bliss" is beginning to arrive.

.

Remember that one of my local quilt shops

Quilts, Etc.

and

Cozy Cottage Quilt Shoppe

.

will be offering the kits to these blocks starting in January.

If you are interested in being on the list, give them a call!

.

Now I am off to stitch up and play with some more of these blocks and fabrics.

Happy Stitching!!! ~Cori
