Making another charity quilt.  Here's the front: 
Colorful little monsters!

And on the back:
Cute little turtles.

What's on your design wall?  Would love to see it!  Head on over to Judy's Patchwork Times (on my sidebar) and let us see what's what.

Stash Report 3/18/12

Started Esther's BOM (see button on sidebar for Forget me Not), so that pulled 4.5 yards out of my stash.  Found a back for a ufo, so there's 1.5 yards more.  Then made a small project, two more blocks and a DJ block for another .8 yards.  Here are my numbers:
Used/Donated this week: 6.8yards
Used/Donated YTD: 39.15 yards
Added/Bought this week: 0.0 yards
Added/Bought YTD: 21.5 yards
--------------------------------
Net Used YTD: 16.65 yards

Considering how other things pulled me away from quilting, I'm happy with my numbers for this week although I should be at 22 for my projected goal to come true - oh well, will keep plugging away at it.

How are your destashing efforts going?  Go on over to Judy's Patchwork Times on my sidebar to see how others are doing.

Amongst the Thorns

It is overcast and chilly today, but yesterday, I took these photos to show you another of my favorite things friday when the sun was bright and warm upon us.  I save pics like these to brighten my day  as called for.  But, really, I'm not complaining - it's suppose to start raining late tonight and we so need it.  In fact, my husband said Monday before he started the rainbird:  "It's so dry even the weeds didn't come up this year"! Here is what I found amongst the thorns:

This one on the right is only an inch across.

These last little lovelies are only a 1/4" across!
