This
year I intend to use more of my very large fabric stash. As I did my
annual inventory, I validated the fact that I am seriously addicted
to pretty material. I knew there was a lot since I needed a
larger binder for my index cards.
Apparently
I don't use as much as I buy. I'm running out of storage space. So,
I earmarked some pieces to sell, several to donate to my local thrift
shop, and more for my next few projects.

Today's
quilt is one of those. Nine-patch and snowball 6” blocks combine
for a bright, happy little 42” x 48” quilt. I chose a red apple
print for center and half squares, backing and binding; solid tan for
snowball centers. I shopped my scrap boxes for coordinating colors.
Southern
Charm is quilted with a walking foot, using light red thread in a
diagonal crosshatch pattern. I think it has a vintage look. I used
roughly 4 ½ yards of fabric, now just 705 yards to go before I run
out. Not likely to happen!
Accuquilt
dies used:
6”
Snowball 55330

½” square multiple 55059
With the amount of fabric I own,
I should be ashamed of myself.
Let's be clear, I'm not!
But I should be.
