I used leftover Modern Bow Tie Blocks from the 2015 Swap. Hanna called "dibs" on it right away.
It looked so charming in Hanna's room with her lavender walls. The lamp was from Target.
How are my swappers doing? You would think I could find an hour to finish my last 4 blocks right? ha ha ha. Maybe today - another snow day here in CT.
Pets really seem to get the whole Hygge philosophy. Relax Coco.
Congrats Eagles Fans! Great Game and Big Win for Philly!
Survey: What does your family call these? It is beef, sausage and cheese on a mini pumpernickel bread? I know of 4 names but wonder if there is more.
xo
I love your little binding trademark. The few leftover bow ties made a great accent in Hannah's room. Like what you did with the quilting as well. I can't add anything to your survey. I've never heard of it before. I'll be curious to what it's called!
ReplyDeleteI make them every year for Christmas. Years ago someone in the family named them "SOS's." They always disappear quickly.
ReplyDeleteI've heard creamed chipped beef on toast called SOS but never even heard of the beef, sausage cheese combo.
DeleteThe quilt is so cute! Love your binding too.
ReplyDeleteSo happy my blocks are done and waiting to get them in the mail.
I have NEVER eaten it but have heard it called S*** on a Shingle.
I love that little quilt. And first finish is first finish - size doesn't matter!! LOVE the cactus lamp! And if it makes you feel any better, I would guess (without actually digging through 3700 records) that at least 75% of the antique quilts we have documented in Maine start with a straight edge and have 3 mitered corners. We now have a tick box on our form to indicate how many mitered corners the binding has. So, thanks for keeping up with tradition! And, my mother made it with chip beef (that funny stuff in a jar!) and we called it Sh.. on a Shingle. Most of my cooking starts with Sh..! If I were wealthy I would have a live in chef!
ReplyDeleteI am definitely going to use your binding technique on my next little quilt! I've got 36 of my Modern swap blocks done, and will be starting the remaining 18 this afternoon. Looking forward to the swap.
ReplyDeleteAnother fun post! Are you particular about the batting you use in little quilts or do you just use whatever little scraps you have left over from bigger projects? Now that there are two cats in my house, maybe we need a bed!
ReplyDeleteThe answer to your backing "problem" is right there, "Keep Calm!" Very cute little quilt.
ReplyDeleteVery cute little quilt--perfect with the cactus lamp! Love it!
ReplyDeleteNever have had that combo, so I have no idea what it is called.
SOS here! I have over 1/2 of my blocks done. I Love the mini. Love the binding tip, going to try and recall that the next time I bind.

It's a great finish! I love the diagonal lines of quilting and the texture they add. I've never had that sausage, beef, cheese mixture but I bet my husband would love it!
ReplyDeletelol you have a nice little finish there but sorry...between the lamp, the dog, the cat and the food it got upstaged :) Fun post :)
ReplyDeleteGreat finish. It looks perfect with the lamp. I clicked on your blog about the binding but it said I do not have access to it, strange never had that happen before. Thanks for sharing. Yes, the sausage mixture sounds delicious.
ReplyDeletethanks Janet - I fixed the link - sorry about that
DeleteLove the love the cute finishes! They look great. The food looks like SOS something on a shingle. I cleaned it up for you lol.
ReplyDeletewhatever you call it, looks yummy! cute little bow ties...
ReplyDeleteCute bow ties. I finally started my swap blocks today and will work steadily to finish! I have absolutely never heard of that sausage/cheese dish!
ReplyDeleteOh such a lovely little quilt and I love a lot the lamp !! Congrats on this first finish.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures with your animals...they hibernate :)
Great post! It made my day! My mother made 'Creamed Chipped Beef'(from the little glass jar) but I've never seen your combo...and we'd dare not call it SOS when I was growing up. Ha!
ReplyDelete-Jean💟
Such a cute little quilt and it looks perfect with the lamp on top :) Great quilting design, too. Fusible batting would have probably helped keep the back straight. I've never even seen those snacks, lol!
ReplyDeleteI love your little mini! Great use for leftover blocks. And the mini is so cute with that awesome cactus lamp! Never had your little combo, so no idea of the name...sorry! Your animals look so cozy, so sweet.
ReplyDeleteGreat little finish Barb! that little quilt looks perfect with those lavender walls and cute cactus. You always have such fun posts!
ReplyDeleteThe cactus lamp is an interesting piece. The bow tie piece accents it well or vice versa.
ReplyDeleteYay! For your sweet little finish!! That cactus lamp is so cute!
ReplyDeleteWish I could behave like a dog or cat for a week! LOL
Have no clue about the appetizer either!
Cute finish - what fun to have all those colorful blocks playing together - perfect with the cactus lamp! Neat technique for binding little quilts, I will have to give it a try. Your appetizer is a new one to me, but folks at my house would probably snarf it up!
ReplyDeleteMy mother in-law makes those all the time. My kids love them and request them whenever we are over for holiday or special event. I think she just calls them sausage bread, something simple. I will have to ask. She even makes them ahead and freezes them to use later. Just heat in oven and serve.
