Urban Churn Dash QAL

Another flimsy complete!

Heres my Urban Churn Dash quilt that I made along with 

PieceNQuilt.com blogs QAL

Heres the link to check it out:

I made mine with recycled shirts for the blocks and sashings

and some Joanns Country Classics solid for the background.

These blocks are huge, 24" finished!

So these blocks were pieced quickly...the sashings took a

little longer but I think that they are so worth the time...

Pardon my windy breezy pictures.....

Its definately a "Guy" quilt...those are always needed!

Thanks for stopping by!

Celtic Solstice #2 is a flimsy!

Whew!  

Celtic Solstice #2 is a flimsy!  Yippee!

All of you who have been following along with me or have made a

Celtic Solstice by Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville

know that her patterns are addictive, scrappy and a bit 

time consuming....

But OH SO WORTH IT!!

My blue & brown version is a flimsy and ready for quilting!

Its gorgeous, it turned out just as I imagined...and I love it!

I set the border triangles a little differently this time but I think

they look ok...I sure as heck am not ripping them out!!

To top it off, I pieced a bunch of older calico pieces together

for the backing...using it up!!

I have already sent this one off to my best

Quilty BFF Kathy in Ohio for some of her

bomb longarm quilting...she has a pattern called 

Lords Egyptian Eye that is going to look 

AMAZING!!

I cant wait to see it finished! Yay!

Another Bonnie quilt for ME!

RSC March!

Yellow is the color for March in the RSC....

Now anyone who knows me or has followed along 

on my blog for a little bit knows....

there isnt much yellow in this Quilters stash!!

So with no further ado...I scrounged up enough

scraps for my Wonky Star Block..

I had to use a couple repeat fabrics but I 

got the job done...most of my yellows in my stash lean

more towards "toffee" or "gold" so it wasnt like I could just

go into the yellow drawer and make a few cuts...NOT.

I actually dug through all of my Scrap User system bins to find these

yellows...whatever works eh?!

Thanks for stopping by!

Little bit of shopping

So, while at the Folsom Quilt Guild Show 

this month, I was the lucky recipient of a winning

$20 gift card for a quilt shop in Fair Oaks, CA called

"Thistle Dew".  I visit the shop occasionally, its a really

nice shop, so I was thrilled when I won.

While browsing through the program for the Quilt show, I came

across a coupon for the "Thistle Dew" quilt shop for an

additonal 20% off....Whoop Whoop!  Needless to say, off I 

went down the highway to see what I could score!  

I decided on these batiks in 1/8th yard cuts, and the one batik

on the right with the swirls I got a 1/2 yd of, I just couldn't 

resist it..so pretty!  I then found that yummy lemon

fat quarter on the left in the sale section....that brought my total

to $18.55!  So, poor me, I had to find another fat quarter to throw into

my pile...so thats the lime colored print second from the left...

My entire pile here cost me $1.35!!! Now thats the way to do it!!

SCORE!!!

RSC Block #2 for March

Celtic Solstice #2 Progress

I am plugging away on my 

Celtic Solstice #2!

I have both piles of the "A" & "B"  blocks done,

now to get them put together.   I have no idea

how this is going to come together, I

love the colors, hopefully it

creates that awesome Celtic Solstice pattern

that I love!!

Stay tuned!!
