Mad City Grandmama and TTFN
Posted By drsao on March 22, 2010
I got inspired by Bonnie Hunter’s OBSESSED AND POSSESSED border that will possibly go on a quilt in her next book – go to Bonnie’s Blog at www.quiltville.com for a peek. My inspiration led me to start squaring up half-square triangles…….so I will be ready. I figure I will need TONS of them for the border on a quilt. I have been doing this for two days (I sure have collected lots of these little bonus HST!!!!) I now have a BIG STACK each of 1 1/2″, 2″, and 2 1/2″ HST all squared up and ready!!!!!! Is anyone else as excited as I am about Bonnie’s lastest border?
I also got my MAD CITY GRANDMAMA blocks together – now it just needs borders and a back! I just love these little 1 1/2″ squares. There is something so satisfying about taking teeny tiny pieces of fabric that COULD HAVE ended up in the trash and making a quilt out of them!!!! This is my version of Bonnie Hunter’s MAD CITY MAMA quilt in her latest LEADERS AND ENDERS BOOK. I just love this. I am keeping this one – unless someone in my family begs…… :)!

Lots of 1 1/2" squares!
I will be leaving in the morning for Amish Country. I am excited and can’t wait to see the Lancaster Quilt Show! I am doubly excited because I have never been to PA and I have been wanting to go for a long time!!! I will be back at the end of the week with LOTS OF PICTURES!!!!!
