It's amazing what you find when cleaning out boxes and bins. Love the pictures!!

Now I just have to find the applique pieces--I remember seeing them in December or January when I was cleaning. I wasn't planning to work on them for a while so I set them aside someplace safe
Keep looking you will find it eventually, it's fun to see the same pattern in different color ways, and how it changes the look of the end quilt.

I needed to get up and stretch so I went digging in my stash for a possible back for my Checkerboard Chain quilt and ta-da! I found a piece of very soft turquoise that will be just big enough. Will likely do a white binding.

Then.... I looked a little deeper in that bin of turquoise and I found a four yard cut of turquoise and very light blue batik that will work for my Pladdish quilt! Whoo Hoo! What a day! I went shopping and never left my house.

Lots of time and money saved shopping your stash!!! Think about the space you just reclaimed. Can you come to my house? I've wasted over an hour looking for something that I know is somewhere here!

Tomorrow I'll work on making binding for the Jewel Box Star top, baste some more hexies so I'll have some EPP to do while we travel, and try to get a couple more Indigo Way blocks done.
Sync awesome progress.

I decided on the ribbon effect so since I wasted time trying to find my Iron cleaner I'm going to square up the blocks and attach the border. Also will take a walk this afternoon since the sunshine looks so nice.
