Mad City Grandmama and TTFN

Posted By on March 22, 2010

I got inspired by Bonnie Hunter’s OBSESSED AND POSSESSED border that will possibly go on a quilt in her next book – go to Bonnie’s Blog at  www.quiltville.com for a peek.  My inspiration led me to start squaring up half-square triangles…….so I will be ready.  I figure I will need TONS of them for the border on a quilt.    I have been doing this for two days (I sure have collected lots of these little bonus HST!!!!)  I now have a BIG STACK each of 1 1/2″, 2″, and 2 1/2″ HST all squared up and ready!!!!!!  Is anyone else as excited as I am about Bonnie’s lastest border?

I also got my MAD  CITY GRANDMAMA blocks together – now it just needs borders and a back!  I just love these little 1 1/2″ squares.  There is something so satisfying about taking teeny tiny pieces of fabric that COULD HAVE ended up in the trash and making a quilt out of them!!!!    This is my version of Bonnie Hunter’s MAD CITY MAMA quilt in her latest LEADERS AND ENDERS BOOK.  I just love this.  I am keeping this one – unless someone in my family begs……  :)!

Lots of 1 1/2" squares!

 I will be leaving in the morning for Amish Country.  I am excited and can’t wait to see the Lancaster Quilt Show!   I am doubly excited because I have never been to PA and I have been wanting to go for a long time!!!    I will be back at the end of the week with LOTS OF PICTURES!!!!!
