The Quilted Snail

Over the weekend I worked on a few different projects.  Here are the ones I made progress on.

The green strips were sewn onto these blocks.  I still need to dig out fabric for the corner triangles to finish them up and to use in the remaining blocks.







Then on Sunday I finally got this block made.  This is Misty who is a mischievous kitten who is playing in one of her owner's hat boxes.

The pattern had been drawn up for a couple of weeks but I had been dawdling in getting the sample block made.  The fabric for the hat is a Moda, and the one for the hat box is a Kaffe Fawcett.  Both were bought over the weekend while I was row-by-row hopping.  The background fabric is from a FQ that was I got in last years shoe box Swap.  Everything else is from my scraps.







On Sunday I also started the next scrappy critter quilt.  And it will use up most of the shorter scrap strips of the light to medium pinks that I have.

This will be made with 2 inch finished (2.5" cut) squares and lots of them!  Was thankful that I have a full sandwich baggie of the WOW already cut to start the quilt with because I don't use this size a lot.  There will be 29 rows and 23 squares wide.   That makes a total of 667 squares in the finished quilt.  Don't know if I'll sell this one or donate it.   Time will tell.
