It’s hard :-)

Yes, it is hard to pull the ribbon and open a beautiful kit!

I bought this kit in Shipshewana in April, 2008, at Lolly’s, and it has pleased my eyes ever since.

But - today is the day, and the ribbon is off, strips cut and blocks started.
These Civil War fabrics are so beautiful - life is good :-)

  3. Skjønner ikke hva du sikter til, - det kan da ikke være så vanskelig å sette kniven i et stykke stoff?
    *glis*
    Joda, jeg vet hvordan det er, selvom jeg nå har blitt mye flinkere til å ville bruke stoffer så de ikke blir for "gamle" på hylla.

    Gleder meg til å se resultatet!

  4. Oi så flotte stoffer! Jeg gleder meg til å se blokkene:o) Jeg har kutta striper til en log cabin, men mine er 1,5" og jeg tør ikke lage de mindre:o)
    Lykke til med prosjektet:o)
    God helg,

  5. I think that's a sign of a real quilter.... you appreciate fabric for the sake of fabric itself.... but it will be beautiful all cut up and put back together.

  6. Oh this is a gorgeous kit! And I know the feeling that it's difficult to cut the ribbon on a lovely bundle of fabrics :o) But you know, you will have such a beautiful quilt in the end, so that first cut is definitely worth it!

    Wishing you a wonderful weekend!
    Hugs and stitches from me

  7. What a wonderful CW bundle....and I love the pattern (I have the pattern, but haven't made it yet).

    I'll be following your progress on the quilt.

  8. I bought that kit and I bought it in the Christmas colors too and I just now started the Christmas one. How weird is that?

    2 things: Don't do like I did and cut all that beautiful fabric into 1" strips right away. I don't think it's going to take all of it and then you'll be stuck with 1" strips of beautiful fabric.

    And the other thing is I really hate making log cabin blocks. Turns out, I didn't know that until now!

    Have fun.
