Design Wall Monday 6/27/11

New items on my design wall.

First, a curvy block whose link was posted on one of my group lists.  I don't do many curves so I thought I would give this one a try.  The gentle curves were easy to make.  I also found it in the EQ block library under classic designs, orange peel.  This turned out 12" square, and I used scraps from the never ending bin.  I did have to use 4 7" squares to cut out the floral pieces you see.  Don't know what I'll do with it yet - that's why it is on my design wall.

Next is my June UFO.  I know it is late in the month, yet I am making progress on it so I am happy about that.  I've added another row to it.  You can see the 2 back sashing in the photo.  Yes, it is another quilt as you go.

A Swimmer is born

After years of swim lessons, William is now pretty good at the crawl.  What is so nice is that he is finally comfortable in the water - he goes underwater and swims like a dolphin, twirls, floats and generally looks like he's having a good time in the water.  Check out his progress:

Stash Report 6/26/11

Made a curvy block posted on a cyber group I belong to using 1/8 of a yard and another 1/8 making 2 crumb blocks as a demo for my guild of the BOM.  So that makes a grand total of 1/4 yard used this week.  Could be worse.  No yards in.

So my numbers are:
Used this week: .25 yards
Used/Donated Yr to date: 42.33 yards
Added this wk: 0.0 yards
Total Yr to date Added: -4.0 yards
-------------------------------------------
Total Yr to date Use: 38.33 yards

Is that slower than a snails pace?  LOL  Go on over to my left sidebar and click on Judy's Patchworks Times button to see how others are doing.  Judy is doing great herself!
