juliasb: Good restraint on not checking out the estate sale.

ckcowl: Way to go on saving your money and still enjoying your vacation!

I finished several tops for my church quilting group. They are 60” by 80”. I also donated some fabric to a fundraiser garage sale so the fabric stash is going down a tad. 🙂

Here are 2 of the tops:
First one is a Log Cabin setting. 2” black strips were found in a donation (I needed a minimum of 1.5”) and they were close to the length I needed. The colorful strips were in my 1.5” drawer. A learning lesson: I sewed some that started with dark logs and some that started with light logs. Oops! Oh well! I made the same number of each style and put both styles in the block and it created an interesting design.

In the second picture, the bigger blocks were leftovers from a Wanda quilt by GEDesigns and extra blocks from Accuquilt’s Crazy Quilt die.
