After a fun morning at the movies watching Princess and the Frog (a good new disney movie but a little bit scary for my little miss), I got down to some sewing and finished my nicey jane blocks. I needed 20 all up and here they are…..I used part of a jolly pack and this fat quarter pack. The afternoon sun snuck in the photo too as I’m sewing out in the super sunny back room while we have a young exchange student with us this month…I miss my craft room already and it’s only day 2 but miss keira l-o-v-e-s her new teenage ‘sister’!
I’ve also ironed and cut my white sashing strips and tonight will put the top together and all thing going well start quilting tomorrow afternoon. We have a little agreement that retro daddy gets his run in the morning for an hour and I get my sewing time in the afternoon….just an hour or two in the afternoon gives me a headstart for my night time sewing and quilting!
I’m pretty sure you are making this for me….I am IN LOVE with these fabrics and your design!!!
In fact I’m going to buy some now.
Abbe :o)
Is that Kissing Booth or a mix of colour ways? It looks great. With white sashing it will be very crisp! My Nicey Jane hasn’t arrived yet. Now that I’ve seen your blocks I’m itching to get into mine when they arrive.
Hi Rosie, I used the swell fat quarter pack from fat quarter shop and it’s all greens and pinks and I used a charm square pack for the centres of the blocks to save time!!!!!
the colours are so pretty in real life!

Oh really that is so lovely ! Thankyou for your encouragement re my blanket .
It sounds like you and retrodaddy have a good deal there, Corrie. It can be so difficult to juggle the kids and sewing time sometimes.
The quilt looks like it is going to be lovely!
Yummo! Those colours are so lovely and fresh!
Sounds like a great arrangement for you both. Those quilt squares look gorgeous, cant wait to see the end result!
the red and pink is really adorable together, those fabrics are beautiful
Such nice colours.
The movie was a little scary for Sarah too who eventually fell asleep in my lap (such a treat).
Ally just loved it though, that extra 18 months make a difference
Can’t wait to see the end result!
Love the fabrics and the colours are just gorgeous.

It sounds like a good system you have in your house, it’s good to get a bit of time to do some fun crafting. We’re going to go and see that movie on Monday, I love a good Disney movie hopefully Miss 5 doesn’t get scared, a bonus is I get lots of cuddles.:)
Very nice blocks.
I love the combination of green and pink.

As always, delightful!!
Must be a day for movies, my husband took our 3 youngest to see Planet 51 & somehow came home with a new laptop. Never ceases to amaze me what he manages with children in tow!! He’s back at the cinema watching Sherlock Holmes while i update my website. Could enjoy it if i wasn’t so heady all day. Love Posie
Great colours. Look forward to seeing the finished product.
Hi Corrie, I love your blog too! I just read over your last few posts and I’m so happy to see you quilt and crochet! Two of my favorite hobbies
It’s so fun meeting new bloggers alone, but with the same interests makes it even more fun! I love this quilt you’re working on, beautiful fabric selections! Can’t wait to see it with the white sashing, I know it will pop. Steph
Such pretty fabrics and colours! I look forward to seeing how it looks when you’ve sewn it all together.
That is going to be simply…
gorgeous! I can’t wait to see it finished.
This is going to be adorable! I love the fabrics!
Love the fabric combo, it is going to be sooo pretty!
That sounds like a good arrangement between you and your hubby.
The quilt top looks so sweet.
