Hello there Sweet Peeps!
Happy Saturday to you!
Whatcha' got going on today? Are you going to be a busy bee buzzing from one project to another? Or...
Are you going to be enjoying some down time?

| This calf is enjoying a lazy summer day in the sun. |
Me? Well probably a little bit of both. 😃🧵
"Eeeh! I am all in! " I exclaimed to no one in particular.
After reading all the information , I made my way to the quilt room .
"These will do just perfectly, " I said as I pulled out blue and white fabrics.
 |
| Blue and White fabric chosen for the Square in a Square Star Quilt |
"What dear? " asked Mr .Pinker "Who are you talking to? "
"Kathleen's having a quilt along so I have to get ready, " I said to Mr. Pinker with a twinkle in my eye.
"I have no idea what you are talking about. " Mr. Pinker said with a sigh.
"Oh well , Hee! Hee!"
Off I went .
Soon little white and blue squares were cut.
 |
| Squares cut. |
With a whish of my rotary cutter - next came triangles. "Yee Haw! I am on a roll!" I yelled.
 |
| Adding wee triangles. |
"Are you ok? " asked Mr . Pinker as he craned his head into the quilt room.
"I am fine and dandy! I am fixing to make a Square in a Square. "
"Ooooook " said Mr. Pinker as he rolled his eyes.
In two shakes of a lamb's tail , my sewing machine was humming away , and I had nine blocks all pieced up. I gave myself a little pat on the back .

| Square in Square blocks pieced. |
"I am having a root tootin day!" I chimed as I ran out of the quilt room to show Mr. Pinker my blocks.
"Aaah those are pretty , " he said as his eyes glazed over.
Hmmm clearly he was not excited as I was. Hmmph what's wrong with him? Hee! Hee! 😁😂😜
"I will have to wait until next week to find out what to do with them." I told Mr. Pinker as he flipped through his fishing magazine.
"That's nice , " he said.
Days passed and soon , Kathleen posted the 2nd set of instructions.
"Today is the day," I said to Mr. Pinker with a big smile on my face.
"What ? What is going on? Have I missed something? "Mr. Pinker said with a worrisome look . I could see his mind working trying to remember if he missed an important date.
"No silly, I am going to be piecing my little quilt today."
"Wheew that's relief, " he replied.
In a blink of an eye, the Square in Square Star was pieced.
Hmmm now for the border , I thought. Kathleen said we could do what we wanted on the border. So I pulled out a pretty blue fabric and cut out 2 2 1/2" strips. Soon the borders were added.
"Hip Hip Hooray! I finished my mini quilt ! " I yelled as I skipped to the living room where hubby was relaxing.
"Looks good, " said Mr. Pinker "Let's celebrate! How about we go out for supper!"
This is a good day a finish and going out to eat! Eeeh!
 |
| Mmm. Tex Mex Chicken- a favorite. |
Well that's my tale and I am sticking to it! Hee! Hee!
As of a few days ago, Kathleen's Square in a Square Star instructions were still available as a freebie on her website Country Lane Quilts.
Now as far as my plans today. Well I think this little baby will be going into the hoop.
I wish you a root tootin' day ! Go do something that you love! Thank you for dropping by, Sweeties.
As always...
Happy quilting and stitching, y'all
Melisa
"Today is a great day to smile and be happy!"
