Rainbow Scrap Challenge - May is Green!!

I have not had a lot of time to sew lately, but I did sneak downstairs early this morning to get reacquainted with my sewing machine. :-)  It took awhile (earlier this month) to find medium/dark greens in my stash for the RSC2014.  You wouldn't think that was a problem with the amount of fabric my DH says I have and that I really like green!  But they needed to be fresh and contemporary and I think I was pretty successful.

Bunny really likes these blocks because they go with her green sweater and the antique wicker rocker that she sits in.

Here is a better look at the individual blocks.

This pattern is quick and easy to stitch up!  Especially when you chain piece them.

I am really pleased with outcome!  Stop by So Scrappy and see the other green projects currently in progress.  They're really GREEN!

Have a good weekend and I hope you get some stitching time!

Liberated Log Cabin Update

I  have not been blogging much lately.. just way too busy at work.  Work just gets in the way of  quilting - way too much! LOL.  But I have made some progress on my Liberated Log Cabin quilt that I wanted to share!

So I started out by laying out the rows to get the best balance of color, pattern, etc. I was trying not to 'overthink' this... Lucy helped to distract me. :-)

She helped ALOT.....

We finally decided on a layout that she was happy with...

Here is the completed top on the guest room bed.  (note the little ears at the top of the bed.... that's Gracie!)  I have been trying to decide if I need to add a border.  Border? No Border? Border? YES!  I think I am going to add a scrappy border of some of the same fabrics in the top.

Gracie finally got bored with my decision process and just went back to sleep!

 

Now, wait until you see what I did with all those scraps I trimmed off those blocks.....

 

Next time!

 

Happy Stitching,
