fat quarter friday {guest post from Me Sew Crazy}



Hi everyone! I am Jessica from Me Sew Crazy, and I am so happy to be here today! When Christina announced that she was starting her Fat Quarter Fridays, I was thrilled! Not being a quilter myself, I never really know what to do with those little squares. I couldn't wait to see what she would come up with, using such little fabric! When she asked me if I wanted to participate, I was honored and excited to pick up the challenge!

With Easter around the corner, my mind has been pretty occupied with wanting to keep our Easter Baskets homemade. My kids would probably be just as thrilled if I threw in some Peeps and jellybeans - lol. But I want it to be more than that this year. I want it to be from the heart.

So when the Fat Quarter project rolled around, I had Easter on the brain!

Without further ado, I give you Easter Bunny Bean Bags!



These cute little guys use only 1 Fat Quarter to make 3 bean bags, and will provide a great game to play with those Easter Baskets!



My daughter really tried hard to get those bunnies in her basket!



Whereas my other daughter...well, had a different approach:



Either way, they kept going back to play some more!



My favorite part? My daughter gave hers away at the end of the playdate to her friend because she enjoyed playing with them so much. I am so proud of her :).

Thank you again so much for having me Christina!

Happy Sewing everyone!

    So stinkin' cute! I see some of these going into Joey's basket this year! Maybe as plushies instead of bean bags, though.
