Back to Quilting

Well, thankfully, Grace seems tons better. She's getting more used to dealing with life with a cast on, and she's adapting well. My poor girl. The doctors assure us that she'll be healed in no time though. The first two days they had us kennel her (as you see in the photo), but now she's allowed minimal activity around the house. She even tried to take on Gus this morning. He's really been missing playing (aka wrestling roughly) with her. She's a little toughie!

Thus, I am back into the swing of things. I worked on cutting up more of the plaid shirts last night, and now I'm actually seeing a dent in the pile! Yay! The bins of scraps are multiplying like crazy, however, haha. Perhaps they breed. I really think that with the patters I have chosen, I'll probably be able to make four to five quilts out of all this material. Yikes that's a lot. Christmas gifts, anyone? ;) Anyhow, this is what I'll be working on for the next few nights until I get them all cut up and organized (whew!).


Oh, and I finally got photos of the Stack n Whack blocks I made (I call the UFO "Crazy Daisies", due to the bright colors and the fun flowers in the novelty prints). Aren't they fun? I'm thinking I'll do a black sashing with colored cornerstones and a piano key border. I kind of plan my quilts as I go..

I had also wanted to share a photo of the charm quilt made with retro 30s prints that I'm working on (well, that's currently sitting on the bed in my quilting room waiting to be sandwiched). I call it "Retro Charm." Clever, I know. Right....
