A little quilt I finished yesterday it will be a gift. the plan is to baste it and start quilting it today.
I may take it apart and make the red strips 1/2" instead of the inch they are now. Still debating.
This quilt was made from my scrap basket and a few hst I had in a bin that I trimmed down to fit the size I wanted. The HST are 1.5" finished. The quilt is approx. 16 x 20.5" It was fun to make.
Bet you can guess what this will be, now these were cut from my strip bins of 1.5" strips. yes there is a difference from the scrap basket and the strip bins!
on the design wall needing to be sewn together today! looks good in red too don't you agree?
Honestly I really like both of them, ah yes its true I am becoming a blue convert!
a truer color picture of the little quilt but dark :)
whats on my cutting table hopefully for today! debating on using that black fabric or not...
yes what better way to spend a few hours on Jan 1, 2013 in the sewing room I want to start the year off right!
Happy New Year wishing you many hours in your sewing rooms/spaces being creative and just having fun.

Love all of the little creations, Kathie. The hour glass quilt is very fun. I can see the point about the red strip--it is a strong visual point. If you don't want it to be as dominant, cutting it down would be a good choice.
Mmm, the black and cheddar fabrics look intriguing. Can't wait to see what comes of them.
Oh Yes...it's wonderful in red! Oh that black is one of my favorites! You're having some fun! No better way to start the year! Happy New Year!
Very Happy New Year Kathie. I hope 2013 is a wonderful year for you and the family.
Happy New Year Kathie, may 2013 brings you and yours lots of happiness and good health - Love Nat
Looks like a great way to start the new year!
Dear Kathie - have a wonderful 2013!
Hugs - Lurline.
Kathie, you are so creative and inspiring. Every time I read about your little new creations, I just want to go to my sewing room to create.
Happy New Year! It looks like you are starting the new year off right - creating! I'm anxious to see what you make with the black and cheddar.
More lovely treasures from the sewing room of Kathie!! Happy new year!
Happy New Year! Love that blue and red mini! I'm thinking about working on a pink one that is similar. I have been playing around with the idea for some time. Thank you so much for your inspiration! Happy Quilting!
Love the red one as much as I love the blue one. Fabulous, Kathie!
I am beholden to the scrap basket and now I'm going to bow down to the strip bins. :)
I may have to step into my sewing room for a bit today just to set the right pace for 2013.
Happy New Year!
Lots of wonderful projects in progress, I need to get in my room and start organizing and figuring out what to start next. Getting tops ready to quilt is on the top of the list.

Great little quilt and happy New Year to you. I will be looking forward to what we see from your sewi g room.
You've been busy! Happy New Year, Kathie! Wishing you a quilty one!
Happy New Year, Kathie. Looks like you're getting off on the right foot for 2013 by stepping into your sewing room. I like the blue little quilt, but the red one is fabulous. I think a small scrap quilt is in order for the first week of January, and I already have my scrap box out. Thanks for such an inspiring blog.
I enjoy your blog all year round, Kathie. These little quilts are darling!
Happy New Year!
i enjoy everything you do, Kathie! Yes, RED is my favorite, but I love color period. Both 4 patches are yummy, and they would be in greens, or cheddar, or....!
:-}pokey
I like the red strips just as they are. It's great to see the year started off with lots of fabulous little quilts on the go.
That black fabric with the squiggly lines is one of my favorite of Jo Morton's fabric. Like the cheddar you put next to it. What a lovely project they would make!
Donna actually this fabric is from 2005 by Virginia Robinson , an oldie but goodie for sure!, the cheddar is from marcus bros.

Happy New Year Kathie. You have got the yaer off to a good start.
Fantastic little quilt....and I love the red strips they way they are! I wouldn't change a thing! :o)
Ah yes--the joy of digging in the scraps and the strips. They're two different worlds, but both are equally fun to go through.
I can't think of a more perfect way to start the new year, with a healthy chunk of cheddar sitting on the cutting mat. Enjoy cutting into it and starting another fun project.
Happy New Year, Kathie.
love it and i'm so glad i haven't put borders on my hourglass quilt yet......you absolutely inspired me to change my mind with your border......thanks!
I love your quilts. I just discovered today how many of your designs I had folded the corner on in my AP&Q magazines. Thanks for the inspirations.
Happy New Year Kathie
I'm so looking forward to getting some sewing done when I get home.
