Monday Making

Here's a very soft and pretty charity quilt

I put together yesterday.

It all began with a quilty question

and a picture of a quilt sent via email.

I was asked....

Did I know the pattern...

and what were the dimensions.

?????

Hmmm.....

THAT got me going!!!

Hah hah!!

A little sewing MATH to keep the Ol' brain cells moving!

I used two 5" squares

and a 3 1/2"x 9 1/2" rectangle for each block.

(You can get FOUR rectangles out of a

3 1/2" strip cut Width of fabric)

I have a nice STASH of 5" squares I was able to use

and after putting this quilt top together

I realized

the PINKS are definitely USED up!!!

I didn't know that could happen!!!

LOL!

Well...

I'm not sure MY version is the same as the photo sent to me...

but it WORKED!

A simple charity quilt

that used UP some STASH

AND

gave my mind some exercise!!

My son was busy weaving as I sewed

and since I admired this one

(It's lovely right??)

It was GIVEN to me!!!

I LOVE these bright colors.

Such a contrast to the project I was working on!!!

So friends...

What are YOU working on???
