All my fabric bought for yellow. Now to wash and press it. I have a twin quilt to make this weekend for my gift from the heart recipient. I have a 81 year old lady that want a journal, socks, and a pink or purple blanket. Hope she will be surprised with a pink and purple quilt.

Faintly Artistic, I mostly skipped my blues too. The two twin quilts for my granddaughters used most of the pink and a lot of the purples, and a double size quilt for me using pink, purple, and blue. Another granddaughter likes pink and purple, so I'll be scrapping the bottom of the barrel soon with those colors! The red charms will be gone with this quilt. Are you going to use only green charms on your quilt?

Annie Quilts, I haven't made a two color quilt yet, so I'm looking forward to this one. I'm planning to quilt it myself this time. I usually have a longarmer do my tops. I helped on a round for a Round Robin quilt that ended up being all red and white. I was so impressed with what the girls sewed, it was so lovely! We did it here on the Board. I have progress pictures of it in one of my albums if you want to take a look. I like a blue and white quilt too. They remind me of china dishes sometimes. :-)

Finished cutting 10 yellow sets with more than 15 charms in each set. I included on the bottom of the stack a thin yellow in case you find a darling print that is too thin to use, you can bind them together to make it stronger! I've had to do that in past swaps. Just couldn't resist that darling print!
I've packaged them with my label & included a bubble mailer that I'll add stamps to when ready to mail in January.
Now off to finish the last 2 quilts for presents!
hugs,
dj

Nice blocks, Givio!

The only thing I've done with my charms is make a few sample depression blocks for another swap using light and dark greens, blues, and purples.

jlt37689, Wow! Those are beautiful! They look so crisp and neat. You've done a beautiful sewing job. I'm making the red charms to keep for myself, so I'm not being careful about points, etc. I'm just making them 'good enough' to suit myself. Here's some more.

Those are swell, Givio.... and I see some of my fabrics!

JLT, the blue and green HSTs look great too.

I need to find something to do with my charms.
