I was so inspired by Tallgrass Prarie Studio's quilt that I made these rectangular blocks.
Seeing her quilt made me realize how little I've used long rectangular blocks.
I had all these green pieces leftover from this quilt. I made long strips from them and then cut the smaller sizes I needed for the rectangles. Super easy to do. I plan to only have six blocks in this quilt with really big borders.
I am so thrilled to finally have landed one of these cameras on ebay.
Polaroids here I come baby.

cool color combo! This quilt is going to be a winner. I really need to start playing with my scraps to make a new quilt...
Looking forward to what becomes of those pieces.
I'm going to use my next 40% off Joanns coupon to buy a few yards of a solid Kona fabric...maybe white or something that strikes my fancy. So I have it on hand for projects.
I also recently found 100% cotton twin sheets at IKEA for only a few dollars. I didn't buy a white one though. The fabric is a much tighter weave then typical quilting fabric which is nice but also makes sewing it a little different...need to get used to it.

Lovin' this color combo -- so springy.
Meanwhile, I hate to be the bearer of bad news as you celebrate your new Polaroid-y goodness, but... Polaroid has decided to stop making instant film. Boo hoo.
You can read all about it here. Be sure to stock up!
I love the green squares! Can't wait to see the finished product.
And I was also going to recommend stocking up on the Polaroid film. It's really too bad! (The camera itself is pretty cool looking though.)
love the idea for rectangular blocks...mmmm...think i might do something like that to whip up a cute baby blanket for a shower I have to attend soon.
can't wait to see what you do next with your rectangles!
Hope you have fun with your camera - I love the way the photos look & can't wait to see what you create!
{I remember when my Dad got our polaroid back in the day, I think I still have it somewhere. I hope I do...I remember it was white and the button you clicked was light blue.}
I love the green fabrics. I can't wait to see what you do with the blocks.
I have a Polaroid camera from the early 90's. I think I better stock up on some film while I still can!
What a great idea. Between you and Jacquie, I need to get out ALL of my scraps. I just found your blog today. I LOVE all the pictures. Great eye candy.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I'd stock up on film if I were you. Polaroid is ending its production of instant film. Sorry.

Cracks me up that Kate and I said exactly the same thing -- same words and everything!

Perhaps we can bring it back the way that we've [sort of] brought back Gocco?
I know that is funny!
I'm so glad you were inspired...this is going to be so great! Your creativity just never ends!
