Pure ... Obsession?

(To enter my SMS Giveaway for a charm pack of Fig Tree Strawberry Fields, go here.)


I started my quilting journey in earnest a few years ago and one of the first fabric lines that completely caught my fancy was Sweetwater's Pure.


So I bought two charmpacks and a layer cake and a jelly roll.   I used the jelly roll right away and made bags.




I then decided to collect 'some' of the fabric and stockpile so I could make a queen size quilt.  


Along with 2 charm packs (which I'll save for AYOS) and a layer cake, here is what I have:


3 yards of this argyle print - not quite enough for backing


2 yards cuts of these:


1 yard cuts of these:


and these array of fat quarters\




I decided to make a queen sized version of Schnibble Lincoln - I'll need 25 star blocks and 56 strip blocks.  The Schnibble book calls for 2 layer cakes for a quilt which is 7 by 7 blocks.  Mine will be 9 by 9 blocks.  My guess is that I have more that enough fabric but before I cut anything, I'm off to carefully calculate and plan it all out.




Happy Stitching!

  6. oh I am SO jealous! Pure came out before I started sewing. I picked up 6 FQs when I first started, not knowing what they were or that the supply would dry up! I've since tried to get my sweaty hands on a layer cake, but with no success!
