Scraps, scraps and more scraps. I am using all my leftovers from other projects. The weird thing is that the scrap pile seems to be growing!! It's scary!!!

Red, whites and black. It has cat images on it. It is the first one for me and is for my wife. We love cats...

AMEN! I am also trying to organize my fabric stash and some of it that won't fit nicely on the cardboard forms that I am using is ending up in the scraps pile waiting for cutting.

I'm working on several :oops: I'm doing a Dear Jane BOM in civil war type prints; a BOM in bright orange, blue, green, yellow, red, purple (yeah, it's gonna blind you at 50 yards LOL); another project in blues and greens and neutrals; another project in oranges, blues, yellows, reds; strings and crumbs in whatever I grab out of the box; and a 1930's project.

My current project is black, white, several shades of dark red ranging from burgundy to wine, and Kona Cotton Curry (a solid dark gold).

Yes, I know this sounds weird but it actually coming together fairly well.

I am using different reds (over 40) paired with black and white fabric. It's not my usual selection, but it is coming along nicely.

sewTinker 02-24-2011 05:59 AM

was using browns, yellows & wines with a few touches of pink. Had all the blocks made and then X'd that. Now using blues. Not really committed to them, either. It's the quilt that keeps reinventing itself. lol...

My current project is Black, Grey and Teal.

marlene tarzwell 02-24-2011 10:01 AM

I am using many colors of flannel. You will laugh because I am in the middle of making a bunch of doggy panties because my little pappillion is in heat. I don't make them as nice as the lady at Jockey Lot[flea market in Anderson,SC] She has a little store that she sells many things for pets and does a beautiful job on them. Of course I don't make the hats and dress to match. But my next project is to finish my latest pink flower lap quilt for a shut in.[That's if I can stay off this great site for awhile]

AnnieH 02-24-2011 10:07 AM

Blues in a D9P, err, and greens and browns in a paper piecing one and umm, autumnal tones in a lap quilt. And I used to say that I always do one prject at a time!

scaroca 02-24-2011 10:23 AM

blue green red pink yellow orange and white. All polka dot except the white.

Scrap Happy 02-24-2011 10:31 AM

Lots! No black this time but bold color. My project is an OBW. I have about 30 more blocks to piece. FYI, OBWs are addicting.
