Like many, many of you all, I took advantage of the Black Friday sales a couple of weeks ago. I had my eye on the Sketch fat quarter bundle at Pink Castle Fabrics – at 25% off, it was a super deal! But a shopping cart mishap meant I lost it and suddenly they were sold out! After a mini sulk to my husband, I started searching around elsewhere, and discovered that I could get the colours I wanted and needed in half yards for just $2 more from the Fat Quarter Shop. Sure I didn’t get lots of extra colours, but that’s ok.
I’m needing a rainbow of crosshatch colours, and I realised I already had some on hand – a light blue Painter’s Canvas, Red Sketch and Black Sketch. So I added to the mix with Madrona Road Fuschia Haystack and Gray Painter’s Canvas. The other Sketch colours are Pink, Purple, Delft, Spring, Sun Screen, Nectar and Latte.
And while I was at it, I grabbed a half yard of Serenade Wood Grain in Wheat to keep for paper piecing – a nice, subtle wood texture!

So pretty! I was actually wishing that I had a rainbow of Sketch this morning. I was laying out the charm squares I won from you back in July and I wanted to mix them with the Sketch. I ended up using solids I had on hand (I posted it on instagram).

Love the woodgrain – I have one charm left of that which I am keeping for paper piecing! I am kicking myself a little for not buying a FQ stack of the Sketch during the sale!
