Summer Project - A Decision Has Been Made!

Alright!  Summer is here and I had to make a hard decision. Each summer I tackle a big project...I guess there is an argument to be made that since my family moved this week that should count as my summer project but I have decided to make a big quilt too!  My goal is to make a king sized postage stamp quilt using my embarassingly large stash of 1930s repros  (I would take a picture and show it to you but my camera is still packed in a box somewhere - I promise to take a picture of it ASAP).

I was seriously considering doing Crab Apple Hill's latest Calendula Patterdrip's Cottage but since I haven't finished the Winter Twitterings quilt yet I didn't think it was such a good idea to take on another big stitchery. 

For years I have been admiring vintage postage stamp quilts and this is the year I am going to make one!

Well on and on it goes -  I could spend hours looking through Google Images!  I have started cutting up some 1.5 inch squares and so the project is on!  I'll keep blogging my progress through the summer!
