Distractions

Lately I find myself distracted from other ongoing projects, and the culprit is inspiration from other blogs! On Stitch Mischief I found this scrappy variation of Camille Roskelley's Norway pattern and immediately downloaded the pattern to try my own scrappy block. I love everything about Jade's design and will probably shamelessly copy it, but I also want to make the pattern version of it.


Another distraction is buying forbidden fabrics! I did very well the first part of this year with my moratorium on purchasing fabrics, but I have slipped back into fabric addiction. I justified my purchases though. I needed this Hello Bear fat eighth collection to make a quilt for this little guy - my great-great nephew (yes, great-great!).


Love the quirky characters of Hello Bear - it will be perfect for a two-year old boy. I found it at one of my favorite Etsy shops.


I will need more Moda Marbles to make a quilt for my granddaughter, patterned after the pillow I made for her birthday. I had to search a bit to find the quantity I wanted and found it at this online shop.


This fabric, Wishes by Sweetwater, was on sale, and I need more low volume prints, so into the cart it went!


And this print I simply fell in love with - Flight Patterns by Tamara Kate.


I did catch up yesterday on my Farm Girl Vintage blocks, and today I hope to finish up the Little Joys quilt. I hope all of you are having a happy, undistracted week!

    Wow, 'Flight Patterns' is gorgeous. I haven't seen that one. I might need a piece of that. Wouldn't it be a great backing, all on its own? So pretty!

    Hello Linda! I can completely understand all your distractions! Love the Norway pattern and the scrappy look... it will be a beautiful quilt. Your fabrics purchases are also beautiful and your great great nephew is as cute as a button! :) x

    Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap! But now I am wanting to play with that scrappy block myself. Cannot. Start. Something. New!

    It's always fun to see someone else has purchased some fabric that is in my stash as well. I never knew its name (Wishes by Sweetwater) but I had a fat quarter of it and used it as a low volume background in a scrappy patchwork quilt I made last spring. So pretty! As are your other fabric purchases, too!
