The letter "P"

When life is PARTICULARLY busy/complicated....

I like to PLAY.

 

*If I don't want to feel GUILTY..

I call it a PROJECT!!!

Sounds a bit better

when I am explaining to family

why dinner is still not done.

 I frequently say....

"OOps!  Time got away.

I was working on my PROJECT." 

First I PULL.....

Then I PIECE.

I PUZZLE.....

PROUDLY using the PROLIFIC orphan blocks.

It is the way I

PROCESS

the EVENTS of my life.

 

Quilting is a PLEASURE-filled activity!

It's also

PRACTICAL!!!

(Another P word I LOVE!!!)

 

Any more P words to add to this POST???

:)

Thanks for PLUGGING along with me...

Sorry...

I just CAN'T stop!!

LOL!

 

 

 

 

Wednesday

One more quilt top to add

to my  EVER growing pile

of UNquilted quilts.

:/

One of these days...

I'll sit down

and JUST quilt the quilt tops.

 

But,

NOT today.

;)

 

There are quite a few with deadlines

Baby shower,

Bridal shower,

Graduation.....

I'm getting close to getting

all the tops ready!

But.....

I'm putting OFF the quilting.

Do you do that too??

 

I love this one!

It was so fun piecing this FREE style.

When I got to the outside

I DID take some care

and made ALL the  half square triangles the same size.

 

I think they give a little order

to the chaos in the middle.

;)

Free piecing on Friday

It's Friday.

;)

 

I'm beginning a quilt!!!

I love beginnings.

This time I'm FREE piecing.

Here are my first THREE blocks.

 

It's easy to free piece.

It begins with pulling scraps.

If they look good all piled up on your table....

Then they will look GOOD in your quilt!!!

 

That's MY theory.

 

I try to get some contrast as I move out strip by strip.

Sometimes there's a LOT of contrast when white is added...

sometimes there's not much contrast at all.

 

The only thing I'm aiming for is...

2 blocks with a LIGHT center.

(half log cabin block)

and....

 

2 blocks with a DARK brown center.

Put 'em together...

and what do you get????

 

A funny four patch in the middle

and some happy scraps...

because THEY found a HOME!

 

Have a great weekend!

 

Do some FREE piecing....

and WATCH!

Your pile of lonely scraps will become a QUILT!
