what's a girl to do when she wakes early and feels productive? why, bust stash of course! i was up at 5:30 am and after a couple of necessary tasks, sat down at the old viking in my pjs and started busting this stash of 3.5" squares i had cut previously. yes, these are leftovers from the pink pinwheel and there were enough leftovers to make another smaller quilt. not fancy, only squares, but the fabric is gorgeous enough to kick this simple pattern up a few notches. i still had some small pieces left over that will end up as strips. ***** also today i hope to work more on the christmas scrappy. the quilt calls for 21 strips of 12 sections, and right now i think i have enough units for 10 rows, which is about half way. up until now i've used christmas scraps but next i will have to cut into some of the 1/4 yard pieces i have. i started this quilt to bust white and WOW scraps i had and i'm happy to say the "whites" drawer is showing a serious dent that will only increase with the finish of this top. these tasks are great for being shut up in the a/c!Thursday, July 21, 2011

It has been a productive morning for you. Way to go! This simple quilt is looking like another beauty!
ReplyDeleteI love when I get a second /third whatever quilt from the original! I just managed to pull that off recently!
