voila....



remember that misplaced triangle from post below, can't see it now, quilt's as good as new in fact probably better....
so remember picking apart isn't always the best strategy....
enjoy & explore all possibilities

a little more green....



working on my red & green quilts today just had to show you my quirky mismatched border, not on purpose but also not coming out....that is why i can only call myself a "primitive" quilter and say it proudly!
enjoy your weekend  cheri

made some changes....



made a few changes to the quilt from saturday's class, not sure now looking at the layout from post below, but this is how the blocks talked to me today and it's together so it's not coming apart....
i never know exactly how my quilts end till i'm done....enjoy your creative changes....

my day's work....



made these blocks today at Country Loft, quilt design Spirit by Country Sampler...block looks alot more difficult than it really is, quite simple that is if you can remember to cut the right size strips, which i did have difficulty with today so i have quite a few patched together nine patches "oh well" i love how it's turning out....have you noticed how square my blocks are, not my doing of course, our sweet talented instructor Catherine did these all for me, now if she would just move into my sewing room who knows what perfection i could achieve....

moody quilter....



oh yes, definitly so....usually always in the mood....
my mood dictates my color choices, block sizes, appliques in cotton or wool, etc.
took my husband to the airport today, now it's just me, fabric & my mood for a few days...
already have worked on blocks, tops and appliques for at least eight different projects today....my mood is energized and i haven't had one Red Bull!!!
when i can go without interuption there's no end to my creative mood....that's a good thing....

some ducks in the pond....



got about a dozen blocks done, changing the layout a little i think from Lori's Leftovers Quilt....you can see more four patches in the background laying on their background fabrics waiting to be cut...
i'm using 1/4" strips to make the four patch blocks, my finished block size will be 6".....
i like the way it's coming along....

getting my ducks in a row....



i have been totally inspired by Lori@humblequilts.blogspot.com...she made a quilt she called leftovers which i covert but i have to make my own & i'll enjoy doing it....started today with a few four patches, cut some background blocks, sewed a few more strips together for more patches and i'm excited to get some blocks together....now hopefully i can make enough blocks that my hubby can actually use it, that is the plan!
don't my ducks look cute!!!
i did work on other quilt projects too, busy, busy day....
enjoy cheri
