Design Wall Monday 2/14/11

Have a few more of my strips blocks added to my wall.  The boat is reminding me of the Greek boats when I went on an island cruise of the Greek Isles in 94.  And the strip blocks around it too remind me of the tiles I would see on walls in Constantinople.  Have 4 blocks to go.  It will be 24" square at that point.  I'll add a border of the same material surrounding the boat and then 3" blocks around to make it 34" square when done.  A different kind of baby quilt.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Wishing you a wonderful Valentine's Day with those you love.

Stash Report 2/13/11

I actually shopped this week - on Monday - and bought some fabric:  2 yards of solids for my secret blocks, 1 yard of prints for my secret blocks, and 1.5 yards for the back of a charity quilt.  I did use some of it - phew.  It's not just like I was using it to bolster my stash - lol. And from my stash I actually pulled some out and used it for charity quilts, so here are my numbers.

Used/Donated this week: 3.5 yards
Used/Donated Yr to date: 11.59 yards
