A new project

Last week, Lori Dejarnett of Humble Quilts posted a sweet little vintage quilt that she was going to reproduce for a sew-along.  I wasn't looking for a new project, but something about it made me want to follow along and make one too.

My challenge to myself was to use up as many scrap fabrics as I could.  Here is what I started with:

and here are the fabrics I have chosen for  Part 1, the center square:

I have since sewn it together, but have yet to take a photo.

The next step will be to make some tiny little four patch blocks.  So I turned to my trusty little bag of 1 1/2" squares to get started.  

What?  Doesn't everybody have a trusty bag of 1 1/2" squares?  LOL! 

Here is the progress I have made so far:

This is a fun excuse to use up some of the little shirting style fabrics I have acquired over the years.  I have no idea what I will do with a little doll sized quilt of low volume fabrics, but I just needed to give it a go.
