Just a quick preview of happiness to come ... I've started That Fairy Tale Quilt by Lucy Carson Kingwell. And I am savoring every single minute. Theoretically, the fabric will all be from my stash, although I bought a Fat Eighth bundle of Andover Fabrics' Sonoma collection of low volume prints. In anticipation of making this quilt, I started to stock up on low volume fat quarters before Fabric Depot closed but did not have anywhere close to the 3.33 yards of required background fabric. The Fat Eights are pretty perfect for this pattern.
Some of the pieces are tiny--for example, Little Red's hand is a bit less than a square inch--and I love finding just the right piece in my tiny scrap bin. Having made several quilts out of Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage 6 inch blocks, my tiny scrap bin is overflowing and this project may help solve that problem. Or, add to it, who knows?
