Slogging along on Easy Street here; drawing diagonal lines on 2" purple squares. That's step 4, I think.

On the river,
I like your blocks. I haven't done an Irish Chain quilt but its on my to-do list. Maybe I will use my MIL stash for that one.

I have my baby quilt sandwiched and will sew it and turn it at halftime of Gophers and Hawkeyes men's basketball game. Go Gophers!

I have been working on my "Cabins in the Cotton" blocks. I bought the book in 2005 and found it while looking for some motivation. I will post some progress pictures later this afternoon.

Progress check; I have gotten the long borders on the quilt. Thought it would take an hour, been 2-1/2 so far. Just need to iron and the top is done.

Well it's gone 8 in the evening here and I am off to take Muffin for a walk and a breath of fresh air. I have had a busy and productive day. I wanted to see how effective I could be in using up some of my scraps and I have done wonders.

I am just finishing off the 4th block of the Scrappy Prairie Chicken quilt, which I have used some of the gazillion 2" squares as a scrappy sashing. As there are so many little triangle off cuts have done some "Crumb" blocks and all the threads and itsy bitsy pieces of fabric have gone in a pillowcase for a new bed for my Fur-baby, all in all a really good attack on my scrap pile.

Wishful thinking I'mworking on Easy Street too. I thought I was through with the blocks in step 8 but I put some of the 4 patches in wrong so I'm ripping out. Then I have to go back and put my side triangles together. I hope to get all that done today so I'll be ready to put it all together this week. My goal is to finish the top this week so I can get it to the longarmer.

I'm so jealous. I planned on a 3-day weekend of nothing but quilting, but hubby started down the path of improving our pantry, and Saturday and Sunday have been shot. I did get drawers and more shelves, and it's a really BIG pantry, so the work was pulling everything out and cleaning it out.

Oh well, next time....and tomorrow for sure!!!
