My Little Pretties ...

Finally!  A chance to get an outdoor pic of the top I made from the Charm Pack Cherry pattern.

And yesterday I got a chance to do a little shopping at Hobby Lobby and picked up some grey dots for the backing.  After she measured out what I needed there was a wee bit left (just over a half yard) so I took it all.  You can never ever have too much of either grey or dots right?  

I still need something for binding.  I was hoping for some grey/white stripe the same shade of this grey dot, but alas, not to be found (yet). 

  

And just because I love it - another pic! 

And more of my haul from Hobby Lobby.  I always forget that they have fabrics there.  It's not all that far, but it's in a direction I never travel. Their selection is not large, but they have some really cute / pretty fabrics.

The green, and green/grey/black/white is for BabyGurl's baby girl's (due in July) diaper bag.  BabyGurl does not care for pink, but she loooooovvvvves green. 

The school print, and the alphabet print (that's duck canvas) came from fabric.com (I've been shopping with them a lot lately); all the others came from Hobby Lobby yesterday.  The puppies are flannel.  

So, I am going to be busy busy busy.  And I just ordered more fabric today, for BabyGurl's baby girl a baby quilt (again, light on the pink!)

Charm Pack Cherry Top ...

I jumped on the Charm Pack Cherry bandwagon with this free pattern from Fat Quarter Shop.  

My fabrics are 'Sphere' by Zen Chic for Moda, and Bella Solids Platinum. 

This came together really quickly, even though I had to cut my solids into 5" squares because I didn't find this color in precuts.  I don't know exactly how long it took, because I only got to work on it in small increments of time, due to the 'day job' and the five-year old.  But if I say it was quick and easy, an experienced quilter could knock it out in a snap.  

All my 9-patches before slicing.  

Indoor pic last night after I finished.  I really love how the colors came together.  I made no effort at any time as I was piecing to do anything other than make sure two identical fabrics were not touching.  Other than that, the placement is totally random (in accordance with pattern placement/layout of course).  

This morning I was able to get a pic in some natural light.  Not outside, but right by the door. (In fact hanging on the door!)

Aren't those colors fabulous together?!!  I'm going to call this one 'Night Sky'. 

I am really anxious to get some backing and binding and get this baby quilted.  I love it!  

I already want to make another one by this pattern.  The only thing I might change is I think I might make a few more blocks and add another row (or two).  This one comes out 'square' (52 x 54) and I'm not a big fan of square (except in baby quilts).
