ABC & 123 Block

 

Most of the quilts I make these days are not for me. The lion’s share has gone to Primary Children’s Hospital, Quilts of Valor, Project Linus, Stitching Hearts, and Intermountain Medical Center. Several have gone to family and friends, to commemorate weddings, graduations, births, etc. I was thinking of making a quilt just for me, in browns and teals, to protect my sofa from pets and grandkids. I stumbled on a quilt kit with just the colors I had in mind. I was going to use my own pattern, but my favorite blocks require dark prints against a pale background. All these prints – though they’re lovely – are rather medium. They remind me of a misty morning on a campout, before the sun is high. So, I’m using the pattern the kit came with: Easy as ABC and 123. It’s just 6” and 3” squares, with 6x3” rectangles. Should be done in no time!
