Design Wall 1/3/11 - Yellow Monochromatic Challenge

On my design wall is my Yellow Monochromatic Challenge.  I just pulled yellows and cut blocks rapidly and this is what I got: 

I liked the blue one posted elsewhere so much I went with the same design except mine is going to be raw edge applique as I quilt as I go.  Will measure 30" square and will go to our NICU center.   Taking a picture sure shows how colors differ from what the eye sees.  The print in the bottom left corner looks yellow to me as that is the background, but in the picture most of what you see is the little blue butterflies.  What do you think?

First Stash Report for 2011

Well, I worked on the monochromatic challenge and guesstimate I used about 1.5 yards of yellow from my stash and bought a fat quarter from Jo Anns, so:

Used/Donated this week:         1.5 yards
Used/Donated Yr to date:        1.5 yards

Added this wk:                      -  .25 yards
Total Yr to date added:          -  .25 yards
-------------------------------------------
Total Used Yr to date              1.25 yards

Did I do that right?

LOL
Happy New Year,

ps:  I have almost free books (cost of postage only) over at my blog as part of my stash if your interested.

Free Quilt Books

Okay, we're in 2011 now.  All festivities are over now (well, DGS Frank's birthday is next week, but I'm just sending a present), so I can get back to my room organization.

You might remember I needed to get rid of some books.  Did do away with 7 of them, so have 13 left.  Here's an example:   

On my home page you will find a tab for Free Books.  Because I want these out of here, these are free for the cost of postage.  The postage is for USPS Media Mail of $3.25.  That will cover the postage and the envelope to send it to you.  I thought at first doing these first come, first serve - but some quilters don't check their emails as often as others.  Therefore, please comment stating the you'd like to have.  If you use Anonymous please be sure to add your email in this format:  janedoe(at)server(dot)come.  

 Next Sunday, Jan 9th, I'll take all the ones who want a particular book and draw a name randomly and that will be the one I'll ask to send me a check and their snail mail address.  If you would like more than one, your name will be entered into that drawing also.  So some may wind up with more than one book.  I'll quote you postage if that happens.

And to up your chances, any one who follows me or signs up to follow will have their name entered twice to get a book.  Okay, go check out the books and comment.  The free books are now up for grabs!
