Monday Making

I took a break on table mats this week.

I was happily sucked into a quilt along.

I haven't joined one of these for a very long time!

This one caught my attention.

I am hoping to brush up on my applique!

:)

It is being led by Barbara Brackman over at Civil war quilts.

This first block was a challenge for me...but...

I was like a dog with a bone!!

I couldn't sit still until it was D.O.N.E!!!

Now...I have to wait until Wednesday for the next installment.

I thought the second pattern would come out LAST WEDNESDAY!

Oh boy, was I disappointed when I found out I had the wrong day.

:/

While I wait I've been working on this old UFO.

The vintage dresden plates were all appliqued.

They JUST needed some sashing.

At first I thought I'd be sashing with one color

and using another color for cornerstones.

NOPE!!

This quilt was calling for SCRAPS!!!

I may add borders to top and bottom to make it twin sized.

Time will tell!

I'll let it simmer a bit.

What are YOU making this week???
