Little Blessing (Hidden in my Stash:?)

AKA: Shoefly part II

You may have noticed in the 

Shoefly part I

that there was 1 block missing.

I didn't have enough of 'that' scrap

to complete one more block.

I had just decided to make it bigger

and use another set of scraps.

Then I remembered!!!

(Gotta love when that rememberer kicks in)

I had the scrap that I took with me

to find the yellow fabric

still in my wallet.

It was perfect.

I was able to make the two other little squares

I needed to finish the block.

I figured at least then I could have the 'body'

all the same scrap & do something different

for boarders and binding.

Oh wait, but there's more:

Then I looked in my stash...

I had about a 3/4 yard chunk of it.

Woohoo!  I did my happy dance

and proceeded to add boarders and binding.

This is the first piece that I have actually

stacked the needle to hand quilt it.

Maybe I should be ashamed to admit that,

but I am happy I finally gave it a whirl.

I'm not very good at it, 

but was improving as I went along.

(Oops, I still need to iron away my lines - today is ironing day, so will include this.)

Then, just because I am a little warped,

I added one more little nuance. 

The finished piece measures 16.25" square,

and I had fun.

Until next time,
