So, I'm sure no one else ever experiences (sense my voice dripping with sarcasm), but I was moving along through my baby blankets when fabric arrived in the mail box and I was totally distracted. I gave into temptation (gasp) and put everything aside to work on my new project. I ordered some Japanese "Alice in Wonderland" fabric that is beyond cute, and ordered some other prints to match.
Originally when I found the A in W fabric, I could buy 1/2 yards and yards - unfortunately I left it a little late and couldn't find it anywhere really except one site that sold scrap pieces - around 10" square.
So cue patchwork cuteness - I was thinking "improv" blocks, but since I planned these out, I guess it wouldn't count.
There are 9 blocks, all a little different.
I was very excited to use the Daiwabo elephants fabric! Now when I ordered my scraps, there were only 8 pieces and I needed 9 squares.
Ta-da! I just love, love, love this block which will be the center block. I'm very proud of how well the seams lined up.
A little peak into my planning book (the scribbles won't make any sense) - between the blocks and around the outside will be white sashing. I love it when the creative idea in my mind actually turns out.
