Yes - it's Uh-Oh with a capital O - I've started a new project......
I'm really trying hard this year to start no (not many) new projects. That's why I signed up to the PHD project and Woofa to help me focus on finishing up my long term projects and UFOs.
However Xavier doesn't have a quilt and he will be two in July! This Ganma has been a bit slack (or slow or busy - you pick!)
He's right into trucks and diggers do how perfect is this Buggy Barn pattern?!
Have you ever sewn one of their patterns?
You start with a whole heap of fat quarters. Below, I have one pile for the trucks and one pile for the tractors.
Trace the pattern onto freezer pattern and press it to your pile of carefully stacked fat quarters.
Sew the pieces back together again. It seems weird as the pieces aren't all the same/correct size and you trim as you go. Quite straight forward as you get into it.
These are the first two tractor blocks - well sort of - they actually don't look like anything at the moment but once they get tyres they'll be perfect :-)
It's quite clever actually, some of the tractors become have scoops put on the front so morph into bulldozer (or something) type vehicles.
Tomorrow I'll carry on with these and hopefully have a decent sized pile of them by the end of the day!
I went a different direction for this morning's walk. Across the road and up a different hill.

Slice it all up and shuffle the piles a little (as per the instructions!)

The cows were happily munching on my way back down.
'til next time,
safe and happy stitches,
