Just taking a quick break for lunch and checking in. I'm almost done 1 star block of my BOM. These paper pieced stars take *forever* to make. I looked again at the blue/reds, and I have enough leftover fabric from the earlier months, to remake the 3 blocks that are different so far. So I'll do that, and try to keep it consistent from here on out. Only pain is, the 3 "wrong" ones are attached to other blocks, so I do have some unstitching to do. This just reaffirms for me why I never attach my blocks into rows until they are completely done.

Went to early church so I'd have more time for quilting. I had planned to cut out a quilt top; but decided to do an appliqué BOM that I had been putting off. So far, the appliqué is going well. I think I'll be able to complete the block today. Monday, I'll start on the quilt top.

I really enjoy seeing all the work going on. Neato projects!
This is one I've been working on between other quilts, meant to bust the smaller scraps. I plan on adding a least 2 more columns today, like you see at the bottom.
I've also started making these birds from a little tutorial I found at the Patchery Menagerie site. Not sure what the end game will be yet, but I've been trying to make one every day just for fun. They make me smile.

Love the scrappy stars and those birds are to die for!! Can you share the site where you got those? A row of those would be great in a sampler quilt where a rectangle block is needed - instead of the usual flying geese!

Sue, your bunny is adorable.
Krista, great way to use scraps and I love the birds.
I can't quite finish the Irish Mist top today. The fabric I had picked out for the outside border is just too bright for the muted colors of the quilt. My husband and I actually both agreed on that. So I'll need to run to the quilt shop tomorrow and pick up a light peachy batik I think.

here is the birdie tutorial: http://patcherymenagerie.blogspot.co...rd-how-to.html
The scrap quilt idea I got from some lovely poster here. I wish I could remember her name to give her the credit. Unfortunately, I don't have her post saved.

My goals for today:
1. Finish a sea turtles panel that is a gift for friends moving full time to Florida. Dinner is Tuesday, so this is "must do". Currently mulling over how to quilt the borders and whether to use crystals as air bubbles in the turtules's wake.
2. Cut strips for tumbling block mini.
3. Cut and, I hope, sew last set of Civil WR blocks for swap. Get them ready to mail.
4. Prepare appliqué for monthly swap block. Finish if time allows.
5. Post picture of doll quilt Lisa sent me.
6. Do some thread painting on the landscape I am currently working on. This needs to wait until DH goes to play golf because the appliqué foot on the zigzag machine is noisy and it is in the dining room, because the "big" machine is out in the sewing room.
