Let us know how your sewing goes today!! I did do this on Sunday, but it can go the whole week if people want!!

This quilt is a donation for Habitat for Humanity that my employer will be constructing on the 20th. I would much rather swing a needle than a hammer! The quilts shown are so inspiring, love them!
That's so awesome!! I hope you'll share your quilt. I think I'll do this again this weekend, but give better notice of it this time!!

Now still have to decide on a back...I really would like to use my stash, but not sure if I have anything I would like...Really want to use up a lot of my stash, so I can go buy more!! LOL
Wowee!! Looks great. Orange and Blue is my fave combo!! And a big yay!! For using the stash
