finished the first of two planned projects for the solids.....it's a flimsy....
what else? we all know somebody else's scraps are much more fun and so it was with the baggie i recently received...in it were some nice halloween-theme scraps, mostly 2.5" wide of varying lengths...so darn cute soooooo....now that i have a table, a placemat was just the ticket....
the backing is a Hoffman print bought long ago...it was $3 per yard and i bought 3 whole yards, something rarely done, and glad i did....lining is flannel picked up at senior center...
would have posted earlier today but had extreme thunderstorms plus tornado quite close, like 3 miles away...many trees down and some hit by lightning....weatherman says more substantial storms tomorrow...then the high 90s and even 100...so glad i have my bike and larder is stocked...summer has landed with a vengeance...no farmer's market this week for sure....tomorrow will start on solids project #2....doubt will have time for another, but the drawer stash has decreased just not emptied quite yet
Your solids quilt is so vibrant. I love it. Yes, someone else’s scraps are always appealing. Stay safe in that weather.
ReplyDeleteYour Cracker flimsy is bright and vibrant; it shouts SUMMER! Summer is shouting back at us here~ we're in a pattern of HOT and rain in the afternoon/evenings lately which boosts the humidity into the stratosphere. Love your Halloween mat! :)
ReplyDeleteI just love the way the solids turned out in the quilt top!!! Bold and beautiful! Stay safe during the storms!
ReplyDeleteWell done with the solids! And you said it true- other people’s fabrics alway look so appealing. Nice job with those. Those birdhouse blocks in your earlier post- so glad you got them. They are sweet!
ReplyDeletelove them both!! that solids one is so summery!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt top and I love the placemat.
ReplyDeleteThe cracker blocks in time for the crack of thunder? LOL. And, yes, using scraps yields yet more scraps. It's a cute placemat!
ReplyDeleteCute placemat but I love your cracker quilt! That's cheerful and summery! Way to go!
