now and then

it took only a couple of days and some marathon sewing to make a dent in the strip tote....this is now...

and this was then....just mere hours ago....

the tote even weighs less...LOL....and now i have these....


49 blocks waiting on more....such fun and lots of memories come to mind, so just like visiting old friends...but the angel on my shoulder kept whispering UFO.....UFO...so will save the strips for another fun day and pulled out this, the lozenges wall quilt using awesome kaffe fabrics...

current plan is for 10 rows of 10 lozenges for the flimsy.    ****  peak foliage has finally arrived here with balmy, sunny days where the out of doors is always beckoning....just driving around with no destination is wonderful!

it's been windy off and on making lots of trees prematurely bare....all around town fall/winter pansies are planted, so plenty of color everywhere!  no real weekend plans--exercise, bind october mini, quilt and read....that's about it.

    Ohhh, I love your scrappy blocks, and I'm so glad you were able to make a dent in your scrap stash. I keep working at mine, and there never seems to be a visible different. I seem to just make more and more scraps. Help!

    What a good use of your scraps! The Log Cabin block is perfect for scraps.

    What size are the log cabin blocks? They're a great way to use up those scrappy strips. The zebra print is such a fun accent for the lozenges!
