DWM 7/23/13

Taking a break from LE, I made a block for a new charity quilt.  I found this block in a video from the Missouri Star Quilt Company for their Merry Go Round Quilt.  Her block is too large for my quilt, so I had to make it smaller.  Came up with a block that measures 9 1/2" when finished and it's on my design wall.
Here it is:

A friend gave me a whole bunch of solid strips, so think this will work to do up this block, and I can fussy cut the center block.  Nine blocks and the sashing and I'll have a quilt!  to me it looks like a simplified wedding ring block because it forms connecting rings.  What do you think?  Watch Jenny's video and you can see the quilt behind her on the wall.

I'm linking to Judy's Patchwork Times, Lyn's BOMs Away , and Esther's Blog.  Go see the eye candy.

Sunday Stash Report

Another lovely flower pot:

The photo doesn't do the color of these blooms justice.  They are such a delicate apricot.  Love these!

As for de-stashing, not much done at all when one is flat on back for most of a week.  Did pull a yard to have my latest VA quilt quilted.  Sent that off in the post.  And have used specks of fabric to finish the dots on the ring around my LE compass.  Here are the numbers:

in 0.0 yds.; out 1.00 yds.

Stash YTD: in 8.5 yds., out 93.42 yds.

Donated YTD: 40.96 yds

Net for 2013: out 84.92 yds

 

Linking over to Judy's at Patchwork Times.  See how others did.
