july already?

so very true...sneaked up on me while i was busy sewing obviously....and new month means tackling the scraps aka....

at first thought july was ideal to finish the scrappy trees flimsy but that would just give me one more flimsy in the pile...how about something i could actually finish and get outta the drawer??  so unearthed this UFO and have to say, love it as much today as when it was first started....it's a mega-memory project,  a microcosm of my stash over the past 40 years...sentimental attachment to the max! from clothes for myself and my daughter, to long ago quilts and projects, to swaps and gifts from other quilters, they're all in this piece. 

the colors are much nicer than this....my phone isn't exactly perfect for pictures....but you get the idea.  it's 16" blocks of inchies, a total of 12 (or will be) with a border of 4" of neutral inchies, then a final border of 4" scrappy inchies.  this will be a tied quilt, obviously, but will definitely be a keeper.  there's a drawer of inchies just waiting to be played with, no doubt way more than i will need...so stay tuned.  being a graduate of the bonnie hunter scrap saver school, i always check out her yearly leader/ender challenge, but this year i am way ahead of her!  ***  day 2 of heat hibernation but plenty of things to keep me busy....stay cool quilty peeps!
