I ❤️ a challenge.

I hate when this happens...

I planned so very carefully to use up an entire layer cake of Mimosa fabric for a IG #insideadditionqal. I measured carefully and cut the entire stack without a single cutting mistake.  For me that is huge.  Huge. 

The I carefully arranged the tiny squares on my horizontal design surface (bedroom floor!) and started to piece it together.  All was fine until I realized that I was missing a single 2 x 2 square.

Grr.

Can you see the problem?  It would have ruined my day - but I posted this on IG and a super kind quilter offered me a square.  

Now I am cleaning the workspace and trying to find it. Fingers crossed!

On the way to the post office...

It is a terrible weather day to take a quilt pic -- but my Pretty Potent Petal miniquilt is on its way to my swap partner!   I hope she loves it as much as I do.  

I made this from a charm stack of pretty potent (my swap partner is a lover of Anna Maria Horner fabric) and one random polka dot print.  The colors in the fabric are amazing -- and I love how they are highlighted by the white.  

To make:  Cut 25 - 5 inch squares of contrast fabric and pair with charms.  Make 4 HSTs from each pair and trim to 3 inch squares.  Arrange. Sew. Done!
