More 9-Patch Blocks

I can't say that there has been much happening in my sewing room lately.  Between doing yard work and other outside activities there just doesn't seem to be the time to start new projects.  I suppose that's the one good thing about winter...lots of time to quilt!  Even with the wonderful weather, I'm still managing to find a few minutes here and there to make some more tiny 9-patch blocks though!

Memorial Day

Remembering our fallen heroes on this Memorial Day.   My heartfelt thanks to those who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect us and ensure our freedoms.

Borderless!

Last Friday I asked if this little quilt needed borders or not and it was almost a 50-50 split between adding borders or going borderless.  In the end I decided to go with my gut, which was telling me that this quilt didn't really need borders.  I quilted it with a tiny meander and added a solid white binding which is just enough to stop the action and frame the quilt.  I love how it turned out and what's even better is that I used all most of my 30's reproduction fabric scraps! (Just how small is too small of a fabric scrap to keep or use?)

Just Right!

How cute is this little cell phone wallet?!  I love how it turned out.  It's just the right size to hold cards, cash, and a phone.  Perfect for those who like to travel light or it could even be paired it with a larger tote bag! (Which kind of makes me wish I had bought more than just a fat quarter of the blue floral print!)   

Just For Fun

Every once in awhile it's fun to work on a project just because, for no good reason other than to just make something for the joy of it!  I picked up this Cell Phone Wallet pattern on my last shopping trip because the shop samples were just too cute...I couldn't resist!  The shop owner assured me that it was a fast and fun project...hopefully she was right!
