beyond the reef: Skip the Borders

what a lovely surprise!

I received a box of dearSTELLA fabrics

and I thought I would share them with all of you!

we're going to have a series of giveaways for these brand new fabrics

because it's a well known fact, at least around here, it's a well known fact,

that what you give, you get back ten fold

here's a peek at

It's a Shore Thing by Jack & Lulu

and this could just be my very favorite

Indochine

but today, I am working with

Playdate

which just happens to come in cotton AND flannel

so this weekend's giveaway is for the flannel version of

Playdate by dearSTELLA

after thinking about a fussy cut for the elephants

I just knew I was gonna cut into some part of them

so I opted for....

you know

within no time I had a pattern selected that had no regard for the elephants,

and I had the pieces cut for a baby snuggle in no time

the blocks came together in a snap

so.

the flannel bundle is yours, along with the remaining cottons that weren't used

in my baby cuddle

but let me just tell you, you gotta get your own copy of

Skip the Borders

this copy is personally autographed

oh, and the tip of the day?

popping your seams on your four patches

you do pop your seams, don't you?

no?

try it, it's easy, and you'll eliminate all of the bulk in the middle of your four patch

now, all I have left to do is to sew the blocks together

it's back to Jaybird Quilts' book for me

and it's off with you to become a follower of the blog
