A glass of chilled white vine, some jelly ladies and more than half of the blocks for DD1's quilt,
and a good time is had :-)
27 of the white double 4 patches and 4 of the purple double 4 patches are done, lacking 23 of the purple variation.
All the small 4 patches are done, so it is a matter of cutting more of the purple 4,5" squares and sewing them together.
I am in fact getting low on this shade of purple, so I hope I have enough for the big squares. If not I hope I can make it with mixing in something a bit different, as I hope to not buy anything. Time will show - a bit of excitement in a quilter's life ;-)
For those being curious about jelly ladies. These are soft jelly, fruit flavoured, covered in sugar. My favourite indeed !
In The U.S. the candy may be something like "Gummy Bears". We love them! Sounds like you're having a perfect day....I love trying to make something and seeing how far I can stretch without making a purchase. But sometimes even just to buy a fat quarter makes you feel good.

If you want me to send you some purples just let me know... (I have plenty to share.)
ReplyDeleteIt's always a good exercise to see just how much improvisation can accomplish the goal without more fabric purchases... :-)
ReplyDeleteNow if those ladies were coated in chocolate, I might like them. :)
ReplyDeleteLike Gummy Bears or Orange Slices, I wonder??
ReplyDeleteI think you have friends who would throw in some purple you run low---just say the word.
