Very cool...I love mixing pieces around to see what else can be gotten!
I cut out my pieces for #10, but won't be able to work more on it till next month sometime...but I took the red/white/blue scraps from #7 for this #10 runner.
I also actually got MT#3 finished, quilted, & bound today! It's to be my granddaughter's graduation quilt in June. I love how bright & cheery it is & sparkely (tourquoise) like her. I also finished her quilt I taught her with (she was 10 yr. old & so it's a big UFO---HERS that I finished & will give her at graduation too. One for her bed & one to cuddle up with on the sofa. I only have MT#7 to finish putting together & quilt/bind, #10 to make & finish, #8 & #9 to quilt/bind. Then I'm all caught up on my MTs. Yea! Anyway, hope you don't mind I post both the finishes here. Thanks for looking & a big thank you to Judy! Waiting for the next one...

Here's her UFO I finished...If you look to the left side of the above quilt, you can see where I got her scraps from. It was a photo crazy quilt I made my parents in 2002. Now they are gone so I have it back.

That looks wonderful, Bluebonnets!

I hope to do this one this summer--life just got too crazy too quickly for me to do it along with everyone else. Thanks, Judy--the pattern looks great.

Love it, Bluebonnets! Very colorful. The border really sets it off nicely.

Looks great! And I LOVE the braid border!!! I started a braid with scraps a few years ago...it's around somewhere. I need to finish it but don't know where it is in my room. Things are in such a dishevel in it right now...

Is anyone still up? I could use some input.
Here are 2 blocks ready to assemble. Do you think I should continue with this color way and alternate the blocks? Should I make the blocks all the same for the whole quilt? Should I do it more scrappy and use more colors? I could add blues and greens to the mix.
I had to make a secret board on pinterest for this so I don't have to worry about my niece seeing it. LOL

Weeeellllll, personally I like it as is, just make more, hahaha....then when you put it together alternate the blocks. Of course, this is from the PINK Queen..lolo It's hard for me to make anything other than pink items..I just love the color. I think it's perfect.
