I've blogged about them before, here and here, but these Magformers really are an every day toy. We got them for Christmas last year, and I think they have been played with every day since. In fact, over the weekend, we had a couple over for dinner, who said I 'actually didn't need to put those away' while I was cleaning up after the kids to put them to bed. They (real grown ups) didn't mind playing with them while I took the kids up to brush their teeth.
I even like playing with them. And creating quilt tops in my mind with them. Then on graph paper.
I planned to only use my stash, and I did. But I really love solids and honestly don't mind having a stash of solids, so I made it smaller than my drawing as I was running low on purple and yellow. and black, which I used all of. and as soon as I used all my black, I felt the urge to run to the fabric store and get another 2 yards just to have on hand. I'm not a very good stash buster.
What are you working on this week?

6 Creative People Had This To Say:
You have become a quilting sensation! I have been a little under the weather lately, but I have several pieces of furniture that I need to work on for my booth, however I am really anxious to get sewing again. Jackie
I don't know what to be more envious of: your mad quilting skills, or the fact that your planters have flowers in them that are actually alive.
I love it! I'm a huge fan of black with bright colours. I'll have to keep my eyes open for those Magformers -- my kids would love them too.
I can't believe how much quilting you get done! They are all so beautiful! Our kids LOVE magnatiles, similar but without the space in the middle.
Excellent little quilt-you were so creative! And it is beautiful.
Magformers look awesome. But the quilt is better. I really like how you showed from concept to completion. Thanks for sharing.
