ORANGE SLICES

                                                     Itty Bitty orange sections.....

                                                          This little star block is 4.5" -- and 
                                         I wanted to use that pretty gift fabric from 
                                             DAWN who is having a little SAL on her site...
                                                 go visit to see what it's all about....
You will see bits and scraps of that fabric throughout.....
;))) 
thanks Dawn...

                                           And (phew) if you read this far--Congrats!!;)))


   Here is my wall right now.....(sorry for the darkish photo--no sun AGAIN!!)  
                                          a total hodge-podge of blocks....

*******************************************

I have a few more crumb blocks started and a few more minis....
but for the most part
the scraps are diminishing rapidly....YES!!!

It is truly amazing how many 
orange scraps I had on hand...
I had no idea....

The only other time 
I used orange was in Steven's quilt...
which was a spider web orange...that I made 4 years ago--
this bag of scraps 
hasn't been touched since then.


*****************************************************************
I have begun quilting my "H"Improv in the evenings while tv watching.


And my big "Orange Circle-ish" is ready to be quilted as a separate piece...

                         A little tabletopper using up the rest of Dawn's fabric gift, 

I will be linking up with Angela at Superscrappy along with all the other 
February "oranger sewists" for Rainbow Scrap Challenge...[RSC] .

Tomorrow we are having company so I am writing this Friday; we are experiencing
really heavy winds and hoping the power doesn't go off!!;0000

I hope your weekend will be a wonderful one....
