It is March and some of us are so ready to be done with winter. New fabric is coming into your local quilt shop and we all want to sew!

A seasonal project from Susie shows off BQ Goes Mini. She added such cute machine embroidery plus borders. This will be a fun door hanger for her Mom.

I had some stripe fun with Stripeplicity. I used the instructions for 12 blocks with 3 different stripes but all the same background. These examples are positioned on my design wall, not stitched. I really got lost in this project as there were so many possibilities. Sizes given are just the blocks, borders would make them larger.

12 blocks  22.5" x 30"
