It's my day to sit and have a Latte (or cup of tea) with you...COME ON IN!
Madame Samm at Sew We Stitch loves her coffee, so Have A Latte was definitely her style.
Add a spoonful of Joan over at Moosestash Quilting to cheer us on and this is quite a party!
I'm more of a tea drinker, so that beautiful fabric, Have A Latte by Clothworks made me want
to run to the nearest Starbucks to get me one of their Green Tea Lattes and a scone or two. Yum!
I did a little paper piecing (which I love to do) and created a quilt that measures 45" x 45".
It's the perfect size to snuggle under while sipping away at my green tea latte.
A Cup or Two For Me and You!
It's the perfect size to snuggle under while sipping away at my green tea latte.
A Cup or Two For Me and You!
I found the cup blocks HERE and the coffee grinder block HERE.
The finished blocks were 8" x 8".
I love the striped binding!
The back is just solid colored fabric, but I created it with a method I found at several different
websites. The fabric gets cut on a diagonal and then slides down to make it bigger.
Crazy, but it works!
My fabric was a little less than 43" wide, so using this method added a few inches...very cool!
The link I found and used includes a calculator and instructions - Multi-Patch, Inc. HERE.
Another quick shot with the storm in the background...
...and the wind showing us who's in charge. Time to go!

Carol, my hero! You make the most wonderful quilts. I don't know how you find the time. I've been gone on a road trip with my husband so my contribution was minimal at best. I have decided I have Waay too much on my commitment plate...I must pare down in order to Enjoy the journey rather than feeling pushed to just get finished. I want to Enjoy every step. Your quilt is absolutely beautiful with extra special attention to color.
