Look what I dug out of the UFO box! It has to have been at least 10 years ago that I made these blocks! It's all set together now with a border, the backing is ready and I just need to pin it and quilt it. I had a few blocks left over...so I made a pillow as well.
It's Friday, and I am getting ready to go to a mini-quilt retreat tomorrow. I joined the local quilt guild, Nimble Thimbles, and this will be a good opportunity to get to know the rest of the ladies. I am going to work on "Summer Breeze" from Kim Brackett's book Scrap-Basket Surprises. I cut up all of my pastel scraps into 2 1/2" strips and this will be my first project from this wonderful book. It's nice to try to get my scraps more manageable, and I love Kim's ideas on sorting and storage.
