Sigh... There wasn't enough fabric. And nothing else in my stash was crying out to be made up into that pattern, so I put it away. After moping about for a while, I decided to cut into those luscious Dolce fat quarters I got back in January. What better way to get back on track and feel better than to cut into some high quality quilting cotton and sew some simple, straight seams!
Here are some of the first blocks I made:

You will be seeing more of these until I get the quilt top finished.
So today I had to make a run to my least favorite place on Earth- Walmart- and I decided to make it worth my while by picking up a couple of the latest Simplicity patterns.
Check this out, Simplicity 2403:

Then there's Simplicity 2404, a simple sheath in three versions:

And because the Princess is needing new spring clothes, I got Simplicity 2436:

I love the A-line shape, the seaming details (center front seam and darts), and all the different design options including zippers, pockets, and chains! I can't wait to try this out!

How about you? Did you have a good weekend?

I no longer set foot in our Wal-Mart. We no longer have fabric or sewing notions. So disappointing. I used to say,'if Wally World doesn't have it, you don't need it.' Now, I say,'if Dollar General doesn't have it, you don't need it'.
Stop by the blog and see my feature post, follow the link, you were mentioned :) Kisses
I love the blocks!! This is going to be a really cool quilt.
