Little Letters QAL: E,F & G

E is for Elephants, F is for Farm and G is for Garden:
When I starting quilting a few years ago, 30's prints were the very first fabric I started collecting. I  have an entire tub of precut 2 1/4" strips that I use for my hexagons.
I plan to continue my stash busting of these...
...and also use them to "frame" my little letters:
I'm not sure if I'm going to sash my blocks together with a cream or just sew them together scrappy style?? I think once I get A, B, C and D, framed up this week and on the design wall, they'll start to "talk" to me. (I hope!) Anyhoo, I'll be spending my Sunday afternoon right here quilting these two tops:
I hope your day finds ya getting in a little sewing as well.

  1. I love those letters. I've started a new set with 30's prints too. I'm not going to frame them before all the letters are done.

  4. Your Little Letters are looking so cute! I like how they are framed. I agree about putting them on the design wall and letting them speak to you. I just finished my hand binding and put the quilt in to wash it, so now I am going into my sewing room to make some G blocks!

  9. Everyone is commenting on the letters - of course :-) But I am in love with that little charm square quilt beside your frame! I am now going to go back through your older posts and see if you have any larger photos of that one.

    2. Thanks Val! Darn that pesky no-reply ;-) The quilt that actually caught my eye is the one with the navy border. Guess that would be a postage stamp and not charm. Well either way I like them both and look forward to seeing one or both of them unveiled in your Friday Finish.
