Goldilocks and the Three Pickles

Poor Goldilocks.  What a time she's had with these pickles!

The first pickle was too small...


and the second pickle was too big...


But she kept trying and trying, and at last she found a pickle that was just right...


Here's the whole gang of pickle dishes -


(that's going to make for a lop-sided quilt...)

And here's what it would look like if I really were crazy enough to make a pickle-in-a-pickle-in-a-pickle...
 

That's pretty silly, even for me...


Linking with Linda at kokaquilts for Sew, Stitch, Snap, SHARE.  Come on along!

LOL So how many have you made so far?

Pickles happen.

You did a great job with your redrafted patterns, glad you ended up with a size you were happy with. It's a fun scrappy block, but takes a bit of time. Thanks for sharing with 'sew stitch snap SHARE'

Looks like you've been having fun figuring these out! I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next. :)

Very pretty pickles!

You are in a pickle. I love watching people work out blocks. This is one I mean to try myself sometime. So many ways to use fabrics with it.

I actually like the pickle in a pickle in a pickle, but just enough for a small wallhanging and not a whole quilt.

So much work! Wowsers, are you dedicated!

Cathy said...

Need I say I LOVE Pickle in a Pickle in a Pickle? Can't believe you made three pickles that would fit perfectly together.

But any old Pickle is good too. Pickles rule!

What a pickle you're in trying to get it just right. You have much more patience than I do for these types of projects. I love the idea of a pickle in a pickle in a pickle. Happy sewing!

Looks like you've been into the pickle juice!

Might sound silly but looks great!!!

I can't tell you how impressed I am that you redrafted the first pattern and made more points -- and now I guess you redrafted that pattern, too? I like all of them but I especially like the middle size. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with these. You always make such fun, bright, creative quilts!
