Vintage Fairytale

Paint Party!

Hi! Welcome to my stop on Carrie's Paint Party!


I absolutely love Carrie's Collage collection but I think Paint may top it!
Especially the paint swatch print. I have so many ideas and plans for it.


I posted a little about what I was working on a few weeks ago and am happy to be able to share the whole thing now!


My part of the lookbook was to create a mini art quilt/prayer flag and I immediately thought of houses. Partly because I have been on a patchwork house kick and the other part because of the adorable bookmark she sent. I think I am going to recreate that bookmark in fabric and hang it on my wall. Love it!


The house was fun to sew but took up too much of my time since I didn't use a pattern. That left me with basically half of a day to do the rest!



INSERT PANIC MODE
I did manage to complete it and get it out in time. Of course now that it's gone there is a million other things I wish I would have done around the house instead.



 As a bonus because I wasn't ready to put the Paint fabric away I created a little quilted bag.

I used the quilt as you go method and love how it came out. 


Really this is a perfect collection for a variety of projects. I've seen so many different ideas made with Paint and love them all. From quilts to pencil holders.

I am so excited for these prints!
As soon as they arrived last night I immediately busted into it and started sewing.


I made some half square triangles with the intent on creating a potholder



However, once I started sewing them I really felt like it needed to be a quilt.
It will take me forever to make a throw sized quilt out of these tiny blocks though. The HST are about 1.5 inches. I don't know what to do?
I really feel it would be a waste as a potholder now, especially since I am never in the kitchen.
Do you ever have projects that start as one thing only to go in a completely different direction after you start?

Globetrotting BOM - San Juan April

Globetrotting BOM - San Juan April

I have finally jumped into the Globetrotting Mystery BOM!

I decided to start on the April block, San Juan since that is what everyone else is working on and then do the previous blocks later.


Isn't that little cup & saucer print so cute? I had to use it as the focal point (I purchased it from here if anyone else is interested in it).


As much as I loved making this block and the block in general I messed up on one of the blue squares. Either I cut the square too small or sewed it wrong because it doesn't quite match up.


I'm hoping once I get the rest of the blocks done and the quilt put together I won't notice it anymore. Sure I could rip it apart and fix it but I have too many other projects to do. :)


Yes, I am still in love with Road 15 and will use it in as many projects as I can.
