Monday Making

Every year, about this time, I get to thinking about the graduation quilts

that I traditionally make for high school graduates at my church.

This is what THINKING looks like.  :)

The log cabin-esque blocks are very free form

and have not been trimmed yet.

Making this kind of quilt block is a natural for me.

It requires:

NO pre-planning.

NO special rulers.

NO THINKING.

Most of the strips were cut with scissors

as I sat at the sewing machine.

This is the "fabric" of choice piled on the floor

and on the table.

Lots of old shirts plus an assortment of scraps

and some striped yardage.

For some ODD reason

I'm saving the cuffs, collars and tags.

I DID make a tag quilt once and dream I might do it again!

But the cuffs and collars???

Ah well.

Maybe I'll be inspired someday.

HAHA!

This is last week's work.

I put ALL the little triangles together

and this is ALL I got.

It's too small at this point.....

so....

 I will let it simmer in the "TO FINISH someday" pile for a while.

What are YOU making???
