OLD & NEW

 
17 mini charm blocks 
FINITO!
AND
One more laid out for today
↨↨↨↨↨
I still have some blacks, browns and 
a few yellow minis left \over...
BUT...
I am getting tired working with
mini charms...
ya think???

I will take 9 blocks for each 
of my Granddaughters

and back them 
with some cute panels
for lap quilts 
for Christmas this year.
When I can machine quilt
comfortably, I plan
to  start
these projects
AND...

I have moved on to my
many jelly roll
leftovers --
and
have laid these out
these colors 
for
my next project:

This one will commemorate our 
travels after Tom retired...

  3. Scrappy quilts are pretty much my favourites of all because they remind me of my grandmothers, both of whom were quilters and always used scraps.

  10. Nothing is quite so satisfying or nostalgic as prints alternating with a neutral. It just looks like home.

  11. Your strippy quilt is beautiful and spring/ summer like. How wonderful that you were able to travel and make memories. The squares are delightful too, they ive me a whole new viewpoint about charmp acks, which I never buy.
    If you need help with quilting, my longarm quilter is wonderful and very reasonable. She is always happy to do small projects too.
    Today is beautiful. I hope you were able to walk a bit or sit out.

    love lizzy
