Craftsman Baby Quilt | Finished {or Not!} Friday Link Party! {Did I Say Giveaway?!}

Welcome to Finished {or Not!} Friday where you can share what you're working on and see what others have been making!

My Finish is a baby size Craftsman quilt in Blooms and Bobbins fabric.

This bundle of 6 Blooms and Bobbins fat quarters arrived in my July 2019 Sew Sampler Box, and less than a week later, this quilt appeared.  Yes, less than a week!  {{ pats self on back!! }}  The 6 fat quarters came with a pattern and zippers for zippered bags, and I knew I would never make them, nor did I have any fabrics in my stash to coordinate with the bundle other than solids to make a larger quilt, so I googled "6 fat quarter quilt pattern", and Craftsman came up.  Zip zap zup {a reference to one of our favorite book series about Froggy which I read to the kids years ago}, Craftsman appeared in real life in my sewing room about an hour and a half later!  :)

I ♥ making the sashed blocks and hope to design a quilt pattern utilizing them one day.

This super soft gray dot Kaffe Fassett fabric was waiting in my stash and made the perfect backing, so I quilted the quilt top the next day.

Also included in the July 2019 Sew Sampler Box is a Sew On The Go Wrap that attaches to a sewing machine handle with Velcro so it's more comfortable to carry around, an Olfa Endurance rotary blade, zipper parts, the bag pattern which is not available outside of the box, and a Goodness Grows QAL Block #4 pattern.  

If you love receiving little surprises in the mail, the Sew Sampler Box might be just what you need!  I ♥ when the box arrives and I have no idea what's inside.  That info is all kept in wraps until enough days have passed for quilters to receive their boxes.  Click here to read more about Sew Sampler Boxes.

Giveaway!

I give away any items in a Sew Sampler Box that I do not need.  From this box, I will be giving away the zipper parts and the bag pattern, as well as the leftover pieces of fabric from these 6 FQs.  You'll just need to supply the fabric and stabilizer to make these cute bags.  This giveaway is open to US addresses only and ends on Monday, August 6th.  Enter via the Rafflecopter below.
