TQC Journal | special edition

I have been working on this Slow Stitch project for awhile now. 
It is going nowhere fast and is the perfect project to pick up
when other things are not keeping me busy. I have decided to
use my Slow Stitching for the Fifth Friday posts this year. 
I am hoping to wrap this project up this year. We will see. 

This is an image of the quilt that is inspiring my quilt. 

If you would like to Slow Stitch with me here are the simple details.

I am hand piecing my blocks, but of course machine piecing 

is always an option. 

I am using the rubberstamp technique to mark and cut my squares. 
My square rubber stamp finishes 5/8" creating a 8-1/8" finished block.
You can choose whatever size square you like, this just happened
to be the size stamp I had on time. I purchased a variety of stamps
from Jeanneke. Her work is wonderful and you can see more here. 

Cut you center square according to the size of squares you are using. 

I am trying to recreate the colors from the original quilt as close as

possible. Hopefully my finished quilt will have the same wonderful
scrappy look as this little masterpiece.
