Looking back

I started quilting in January 2013, and a few months later I placed my first order from Missouri Star Quilt Co. It was a gigantic haul, mostly from their sales bin.
What has this fabric become since?

1. Fox Trails Fat Quarter Bundle is still unused!
2. Desired Things Fat Quarter Bundle is partially used; several FQs went into Allietare.
3. Farmer's Market Fat Quarter Bundle is gone into several projects.
4. Serenade Jelly Roll is still unused!
5. Sakura Park Jelly Roll became two baby girl quilts: with only squares or framed flowers.
6. Gipsy Caravan Design Roll is a bunch of blocks waiting to be assembled.
7. Taylored Design Roll is a baby girl quilt, framed and backed in pink.
8. Novella Design Roll is still unused!
9. Crazy for Shelbourne 2.5"strips is a large queen sized top (Carolina Chains pattern)
10. Happi Blue Design Roll was mixed with bright solids for a kid twin sized quilt.
11. Bella 2.5" Strips is a lap quilt backed with white fleece, very nordic!
12. Hope Cove Twice the Charm is now an extra fluffy quilt on my aunt's couch.
13. Watercolor Garden Charm Pack is a lap sized quilt I made for my niece Sofia.

At the end of that same year, I bought from MSQC several shades of purple yardage, and:

1. Essex Flannel Fat Quarter Bundle is still unused!
2. Kaleidoscope Fat Quarter Bundle is a Katie's Quilt at my sister's.
3. Morning Tides Fat Quarter Bundle is split in three projects: a Big Blue Star for the guests, a Churn Dash for Nerea and a Jacob's Ladder for Sofia.

The next purchase was made at the end of the summer 2014. 

1. Gipsy Caravan yardage to complete the blocks of a WIP mentioned before.
2. Wacky Web template and paper refills for a Blue Spiderweb quilt (basted and waiting to be quilted).
3. Fiskars Snips for the denim/flannel rag quilt (whose batting pieces are on this pic's background).
4. Bags of Scraps used in multiple projects.
5. Celebrate the Season 10" Squares was split in several Christmas projects, like this cushion.
6. Tropicana Pixie Strips are mostly gone in the above mentioned kid quilt.

Now, confession time: I've been a bad girl in 2015. I placed two orders, in January and November, and have used none of the fabric so far! (Although I did use the notions that came in the same parcels).

1. Mango yardage is still unused!
2. Bungalow 10" Squares is still unused!
3. Summersault 10" Squares is still unused!
4. 25th and Pine Layer Cake is still unused!
5. Roots and Wings 10" Stackers is still unused!
6. Helen's Garden Charm Pack is still unused!
7. Malam Batiks Fire Charm Pack is still unused!
8. Cotton Shades Dark Fat Quarter Bundle is still unused!
9. Kaffe Fassett Collective Hot 10" Squares is still unused!
10. Prints Charmin Charm Pack is still unused!
11. Rue Indienne Charm Pack is still unused!
12. Summer Song 2 Charm Pack is still unused!
13. Petite Prints Charm Pack is still unused!
14. Evergreen Charm Pack is still unused!

En Provence clues #6, #7 and REVEAL!

I'm getting better at QSTs. Nothing like practice!

From the very beginning I have been playing around with my units, trying to guess how the finished quilt would look like, This is a supposition:

Instructions for clue #6.
Link-up party.

As in previous Mysteries, Bonnie Hunter ported her last clue and Reveal on New Year!

Edited Jan 14th: this is the top center before pieced borders (phone pic before it gets too dark), I am going for a 9 x 9 blocks layout, the quilt is therefore going to be 72" x 72" (hard enough to FMQ on my DSM)

En Provence clue #5

Another easy one, my main issue is the lack of variety: only 4 different neutrals and 4 dark purples left.

Instructions for this clue.

This week's instructions and link-up party

An early Santa filled my mailbox yesterday:

I am now working at my own quilted Christmas tree, inspired by this pattern but with 2.5" HSTs that finish 2". It is just going to fit the living room's door. The other options were based upon strips, maybe for a cushion cover? I'm not feeling like appliquéing this year, maybe another time.

En Provence. Fabric choices

New Mystery in town! I am rather short of yellows, but I think all the other colors will fit (bad pic, though).

Barcelona fabric haul

I went to the Encants fair, where I knew there were rather unexpensive fabrics. Only two of the many shops sell quilting fabric, most of it 5-6€/meter (as compared to the 20-25€ in regular shops). This is my haul.

My fabric choices so far:

Retrossaria e patchwork en Aveiro

Gostei moito de Aveiro, os seus canais e casas de azulejos. Uma fermosa surpreesa foi uma linda lojinha no número 62 da rua João Estevão, com tecidos europeus e americanos para patchwork.
