Out of one of these...
...and it's a Christmas present - for Christmas 2010!!!!!!!!
Pictures in the camera - to follow later (but only the recipient will have to wait until Christmas to see it!)
PS - OK, so posting late at night I was less then eloquent. Now it is early the next morning, and I don't know if I am any more eloquent, but at least I can add a photo.
I don't have a design wall - I am slightly hampered by the slanted ceiling/wall in my attic studio - so I usually "design" on the living room floor. None of these are stitched together - last night I just did some cutting and used safety pins to pin each block together. I need 4 more big blocks, and wanted to see what colors were lacking to balance this out. I am going to add in some more of the darker brown and blues, as well as switch some of the 5" squares out for some darker ones for a bit more contrast, and then I will move the blocks around to their final positions.The pattern on this called for a layer cake, a charm pack and a jelly roll. I had the layer cake and about 90% of a fat quarter bundle, so I am cutting my "charms" and "roll" pieces out of those, including fussy cutting some of the little 2 1/2" squares from some of the fabrics to create little camping scenes in the center of a few blocks.

happy camper is one of my FAVORITE fabrics!!! is this a scruffily quilt? i have a pile of camper right now...that im hoarding...too scared to cut. ps...love the raft idea!!!
It's looking fab!
Bobbi - could not find your email to reply back. Yes -this is scruffily. I've not made one of these before and thought it would be fun to show off the fussy cut little squares this way. I hoarded this layer cake for a while -and it's only because I also have the FQ bundle that I was "able" to dive into it.
Very cute. You're way ahead, geez I just started putting Christmas stuff AWAY!
Love what you've done so far
Love and hugs Gina xxx
