Tuesday

It's not a quilt until it's quilted.....
Right?
It's been while since I've quilted anything bigger than a baby sized quilt....
and.....
It showed!
I need to get my quilting MoJo back!!!
There were a few "Oops!" moments as I quilted this one!
QUITE a few!
;)

That stash sure comes in handy though!
The back is pieced from some of my flowery fabrics.
Now it's
Done. done. done.
Woo Hoo!
Off to the post office VERY soon!
I'll be mailing this to Victoria for her BASICS quilt donation drive.

Thought I'd share with you our dinner last night.
ALL thanks to blogland!
I picked this recipe up last summer from Carla.
It's a WINNER!!!

But you know ME!
I don't follow directions very well.
This quiche is LOADED with tomatoes!
The recipe calls for a few cherry tomatoes.
These are the kind of tomatoes we've got at MY house!!!....
So that's what I used!
AND
I used a LOT!
The other change was recommended by Carla.
Switch the broccoli for Zucchini...
Because....
YOU KNOW....
That's what's coming out of our ears!!!

And guess what????

We're all fighting over the last piece!

squares

First there were the BIG 6" squares given to me Sunday.
I couldn't get those bright green calicos out of my mind!

I HAD to sew them together with some bright colors
because VICTORIA gave me inspiration yesterday.
And...
Because this task WASN'T on my "to do" list!!!
Do you ever do the thing that DOESN'T NEED to be done
FIRST???
;/

It's bright and cheery now.
And twin size!!!!

This one will be heading to the BASICS donation drive...
after I figure out the backing and get it quilted!
(details...details....)

I love it.


Then there are LITTLE squares winging their way to me!

Little tiny pieces of blog love!

Thank you friends for adding some love to this quilt!

happy scrappy fun!

It's hard to resist a request for just ONE quilt block.
How long can ONE block take?
Not long....but.......
Usually LONGER than I expect.
That's o.k.

This one was fun and it sure looks happy!!!

I will say though...
....those 7/8" measurements
INTIMIDATE me!!!

Sometimes I wish I could throw
MATh and MEASUREMent
Out the WINDOW
when I'm quilting!!!

And you know me...
SOMETIMES I DO!
;)
