OH WHAT FUN !

It's that time again to list the projects I would like to get finished this quarter. There are actually two that MUST get finished as they are for the wedding  : )

This year the host is Adrianne from On The Windy Side    It's always fun to challenge myself to see if I can actually finish what's on the list

1. The Wedding Quilt -- these blocks take a while to piece but I really like them and so does the bride to be so.......

2.  A Signature Quilt also for the wedding

3.  The New Hexagon Millefiori Quilt Along.   I won't get this done but I really want to keep up each month

bird fabric is 'Flock' by Michael Miller

4.  Scrap Vomit  --   to keep plugging away and get this done

5.  Socks -- this years were a hit so I am getting a jump on next Christmas' stocking stuffers  : )

That's it for this quarter. I'm trying to keep it do-able

Have a great week-end

CHOOSE YOUR OWN BLOCK - ALONG

This week I am linking up with Cindy for the Choose your own block--along. I decided at the start  that my blocks for this quilt along will be the Tula Pink's City Sampler because I really want this quilt

Here are this week's blocks

also, I want to be working on these scrappy blocks regularly. Two more were made

for a total of six.

I'm not sure how big I will go with this, but there are already 294 squares used from my scrap bins. Yay! I'm happy that my scrap bins are actually a bit neater after going through them. I have a long way to go yet though  : )

SCRAPPY DO

I'm not sure about anyone else, but my DNA is made up of 98% guilt.  I feel guilty throwing away even the smallest scrap so now my scrap baskets are out of control!  I have been feeling overwhelmed by them all, so I've decided it's time to bust some scraps.

The Scrappy Trip quilt was a good one, but it actually created scraps too, so now I am working with the real odd shaped pieces.

 Unlike the Scrappy Trip that was strip pieced, I am cutting this mess into 2 1/2" squares and sewing them together one. at. a. time.

I have long admired the 'Scrap Vomit' quilt that Katy made, but wondered if I had the patience to make one.  I can't just toss these, so I decided to get started and get rid of that guilty feeling

Here is the start of mine

the time consuming part is spritzing and pressing the scrap to be able to cut it into squares. When I got as many      2 1/2" squares as I could out of the piece, I cut the leftover bit into a 2" x 1 1/2" piece and started this. I am pairing them with a low volume charm pack that I had

before long I had a few blocks and I am liking it so far

There. That feels better already.  The guilty police won't be keeping ME up any more.
Here's to a good nights sleep          : )
