Green Fairy Quilts Flower Patch Quilt Along
This doesn't look like much, but it took me hours. My feet and my back are hurting and I'm tired, lol. "The old gray mare she ain't what she used to be", for sure. I don't think I missed anything, so my Flower Patch quilt is all cut out now. That's two that I have completely cut out, this and my Scrappy Lattice, which I will get back to. |
Hopefully, my Flower Patch quilt will look something like this, but since my background is light pink, I guess it will be less yellow and more pink. I decided to use that fabric even though I'm using it for my Sugar Block Club-Craftsy BOM 2012, as the fabric is such a bargain, and I do like it. It is 8 yards for fifteen something, plus shipping. Can't beat that these days. I had in mind to do part 2 of Deck-ade the Halls today, but I got up really early (3:30am) for some reason, and it wasn't up yet so I started on this and I'm compulsive, I wanted to get it finished. Tomorrow for cleaning this place and doing step 2. Both quilt alongs are just getting started if you need a new project, lol. |

BOM's Caught up for Now, Yay!
It's coming along. |
The June Craftsy BOM 2013 is wrinkly but done. I don't think that y seams will ever be my favorite. I don't worry a whole lot about a few wrinkles, as I aspire to the crinkly look in my quilts, and I figure that after washing they'll blend right in. I do need to improve my pressing though. Now, I'm a little ahead of the game, I can relax tomorrow and go with my daughter and grandson to see my brothers and my nephew, I'm looking forward to a nice day. Monday will be for the Deck-ade the Halls block and the rest of the month I can finally start on the barns and table topper for my husbands dresser. Can't believe I'm finally caught up for now. I have no self control, I also bought the pattern for another project. The Flower Patch Quilt Along, the pattern is Flower Patch from Green Fairy Quilts. There's a Flickr group, too. It's here. |
June Block A, thank goodness these were easy ones. Craftsy BOM June 2012 |

More Yellow(ish) Blocks for the June Rainbow Scrap Challenge
January through June of Rainbow Scrappy Trip Along.

Kaleidoscope for June. |
This months 16 patches, 6 inch finished 9 patches and 4 1/2 inch finished 9 patches. As you can see, I'm having to reach to find enough yellowish scraps, I'll just pretend that it gives them character, lol. Maybe others are working with yellow, not yellow(ish) fabrics. To see visit SoScrappy here. Ad I did last month, I'll probably be finished with the RSC until the last week and then I'll so my June wrap-up. |

Craftsy Re-Piecing the Past - Shiloh
A Little Progress and Plans
I pretty much wasted 2 days watching quilting videos (they're like potato chips) and playing on the computer, but this morning I got some cutting done. I'm ready now to start sewing on the Craftsy Re-piecing the Past, the Craftsy 2012 BOM, the OKCMQG BOM, the Sugar Block Club BOM and the Craftsy 2013 BOM. It would be really nice if I were to have them finished by Monday and then I could concentrate on the Deck-ade the Halls step 2 and maybe have the rest of the month to concentrate on the Quilty Barn Along and making a topper for my husband's dresser. |

First Yellow(ish) RSC
Yellow doesn't seem to be one of my most plentiful colors, I already had to rob a little from stash. As always, visit Angela at Soscrappy to see more. |

Deck-ade the Halls, Step 1
My colors are a big departure from the colors in the original quilt, and I loved the colors in the quilt here, but I'm using stash so mine will be very different, yet I hope, still very cute. The colors are off here, the background is actually Kona Snow. These were fun to make, time consuming, but easier than I had anticipated. I did have to recut some because I read it wrong, and I had to do a little ripping, but that was carelessness on my part. This is only step 1, so if you want to give it a go, the info is here. PS. In my haste , excitement, or carelessness, I'm not sure which, I left out the 2 strips between the gingerbread men. I have since fixed it. |
