Simple Things with Borders

All that's left is the quilting.
Well, I just couldn't help myself.  Knowing myself as I do I just had to remove the brown bits.
If I had enough to put some in the borders I would have left them but since I did not I knew they would drive me nuts every time I looked at the quilt.  Removing them wasn't too bad and I did learn a lesson. Stack all your fabrics together and look at them before starting to see if any one  fabric jumps out at you. This is something I knew already but never seem to remember to do.  Maybe this little quilt will help me remember.
Thanks Kelly for a fun little quilt.

Happy Stitching,

Simple Things Quilt Along

This is the latest installment of the Simple Things quilt.  These blocks are for the border.  If you would like to see some of the other quilts people are making in this sew along click here.  We are almost finished and I think it has turned out to be a very cute quilt.  Thanks Kelly for the quit along.

Simple Things Quilt Along

I finished this weeks blocks for the Simple Things quilt along.  These are the last of the center blocks.

I put my center together and discovered I don't like how all those little brown bits stand out so much.
They were a part of the fabric group but I really wish I had left them out.  I thought about ripping them out and replacing them with another fabric but decide NO too much trouble.
I do like the little quilt even with the brown.
I haven't made very many blocks this size and they are so cute.  There are quite a lot of seams to match up and which way to press the seams has always been a bit confusing to me.  I never seem to have them in the right direction.


Next week we will work on the borders.

Simple Things Quilt Along

I am  a little late posting pictures of the quilt I am making with the quilt  along over on the Charming Chatter blog.
There are two versions - Large and Small and I am making the small one. Here are weeks one and two.  These are the cutest little 4 1/2" blocks.I have not made many little quilts and that is the reason I wanted to do this quilt along.
If you would like to see more pictures of Simple Things go here.
