Scrap hiccup

Without wishing to get bogged down in the details of how hiccups relate to vomit, lets just say, it worked in my head.

This is my Scrap Hiccup mini. I made it for the queen of Scrap Vomit quilts, and one of my best best friends, Katy ginger monkey. Its her birthday see, and I was meant to knit her some socks. But unless she's has teeny tiny mouse feet, they won't be finished in time. I have started them.... but at this rate they may be a Christmas present ;-)

But that's okay. Because it meant I got to play around with 1" squares all afternoon. I used the fusible web grid method to make life easier, but lets be honest...1" squares are never really that easy to piece!! So fiddly to press the seams, and OMG so bulky!

It was super fun though. Especially trying to choose and fussy cut the teeny tiny little pieces  (all 121 of them) so they would show in the finished 1/2" blocks. As crazy ideas go, this one definitely went!! There's all sorts in there; a bit of leopard print, snippet of Nancy Drew, couple of chilli peppers, flip flops, deck chairs... even something that looks a little bit too much like a meat-n-two-veg if you know what I mean? ;-)

I'll be gifting this to Katy today, while chatting incessantly about fabric and eating too much cake, because that's what birthdays are all about. I hope she loves it because I loves her.
