Dedemac - I've got a GFG that my Mom started for one of my sisters (30 years ago) that I've been occasionally working on. it needed 12 more flowers, so I used Mom's template and dug out retro looking fabric and got them sewing together - only to find my Mom was not very good with her 1/4" seam and all my blocks are too large compared to hers LOL!!



So I dug out more fabric and started over. I cut a smaller template - and I'm paying way more attention and checking the size of each round. I'm learning what a challenge it is to finish up someone else's projects. My mom had a lot of quilt related UFO's, as she did if for several years and then took up crocheting, and never went back to making quilts. No one else in the family quilts, so I "inherited" it all.

She also had a flower basket quilt - and according to her notebook, I beleive it was suppose to be for her Mother (who passed away in 1994) so I'll keep this one for myself. I think I want to quilt flowers in the baskets -

I forgot to add - I totally LOVE that card trick quilt! I've got some charm squares and matching fairy frost, and this pattern would be perfect for them!

Now it's time for me to get back to the long arm.

So here's the flimsy. Went from cut strips to flimsy from Friday to today. My goal is 34 of these for some local persons. The layout is pinwheel.

Wow great to see everyone's photos. Beautiful Craftsy baskets. Card trick and the green & white quilt wow good work on all. I am closing up my sew room for this weekend.. With help from Retiredschoolteacher Connie, and making practice blocks I am in my way. Good thing when I realized the whole quilt if made up with half rectangles. Made one block and two rectangle pinwheels Large Block is 12 x 18 finished
And there are twelve (two of each color) happy I worked through my problems.

Great photos, everyone... sorry I haven't commented on every one, but I see them... and LOVE them. We have some talented quilters here.

I didn't get to sew at all today. Got a bad case of poison ivy (off my dog's fur) and had to take benedryl today for it. I slept all day from the bennie! Yuck. Wanted to sew...

Well, started out planning to sew, looked around the room and decided it needed cleaning and organizing so I spent all day rearranging and cleaning my sewing room. Tomorrow will start making a mess again.

I am checking in late. I had to stop sewing to cheer for the USA in the Women's World Cup. Great game!

I got 20 of the 25 blocks I need for my mother's quilt done in the last two days. Hopefully, I can finish the rest in the next couple of days and assemble the top. I also cut and attached the binding to another quilt so I just have to hand sew it and it's done. It was a successful VQW for me - I hope everyone else accomplished a lot too.
