Approval Process

What!! Potential Danger Alert!
This is My Bed! I am prepared to FIGHT or RUN! How could mom let this happen?
Maybe - Just Maybe, I can be comfortable here. I think I am liking this!
Finally a Real Flimsy!
Miles from a finish but I do have a quilt top. Now I'm off to my next project.

HAPPY QUILTING TO ALL!

Row by Row

My First Two Rows!

10 Hours Later - Five Rows - Two to Go!
I have had a productive day. Tomorrow, if the creek don't rise, I will have a flimsy. This one goes to my long arm quilter. My quilting ability is masking tape and a walking foot - okay for baby quilts but definitely not for this one. I cannot even imagine wrestling this very large quilt through my Kenmore.

Here is hoping everyone had a wonderful day!

HAPPY QUILTING TO ALL!

Almost Flimsy

A wee bit of squaring up and these 15.5 x 15.5 blocks will be ready to transform into a 90 x 105 flimsy. Yeah! The rows are numbered. I spent hours on my design floor getting the "controlled" scrappy.

HAPPY QUILTING TO ALL!

Dare to Be Square


I finally took a deep breath and started squaring up the 42 stars for My Lucky Stars queen quilt. I will admit I was petrified. Thankfully, all went well. And I can really believe this is going to be a quilt!


See! I got the 6 blocks for the first row and 2 for the second row ready to be stitched together. This quilt is supposed to be scrappy - then why is it taking me so long to decide which fabric to place where on each block? Perhaps I'm not a scrappy gal - just a plain old square! I am super pleased with how well the squaring up went today. 

I also spent time today working on my gifties for my two swap partners. I can't show these just wanted to let my partners know I was working hard!

My scripture for today: "Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever." Psalms 119:160

HAPPY QUILTING TO ALL!
Cha Cha says Enough Already - Go to Bed!
