Random weekend sewing.

Had loads of this butterfly fabric that someone gave me. To get a variety of colors in the plain blocks, I did enough for FOUR of these! I only had one block left over. Pretty good.

Another Around the World. The tree fabric on the border was copyright 1994. That piece is gone now!

Random nine patch blocks that I had in a baggie. This turned out pretty well,

especially since the beige fabric was one I was having trouble using.

Variations on a theme

Someone gave me some dog print fabric that is very nice, but on such a large scale that a 6" block is the smallest I felt that I could cut and still be able to see the pattern. It also is very busy, so I went with very plain fabrics, so here are variations in blue, green, and red!

And that makes 31

The Easter fabric was fun to use, and playing with the colors in the print was the best part. The sashed squares are so easy to do, but look nice, and the triangles were something I had cut and left in the UFO pile because I couldn't remember what I was doing with them!

I'm trying to make 50 quilt tops for My Very Own Blanket this summer, and it might be within the realm of possibility that I finish!

Coordinating Colors

Once I cut the sashed honeybee quilt, I had just enough of some of the fabrics to turn into (surprise!) an Around the World.

Churn Dash

Made enough blocks for three quilts and bordered them out in different ways. As busy as the brown flowered print and the sailboats were, I figured I needed a very simple pieced block. I have one more with sailboats to put together.

Four patch

Some things turn out better than others. I had bunches of 4 patches, so just picked out fabrics to alternate with them. The blue I like; the green with bumblebees and the Valentine prints not as much.

A UFO UFO

Love the spaceman fabric, but for some reason had these pieces in a box and hadn't put them all together. This is why there is no rhyme or reason to the placement of the orange and purple!

Around the world

Default quilt of choice, but they usually turn out really well. I have numbers permanently pinned to my "design wall" and hang random 3 and 1/2 inch squares when I cut them.
