Before the Thanksgiving

I was able to put together my 2017 Rainbow Scrap Challenge top:

All the block's are from Pat Sloan's Summer Solstice Quilt Along. I modified them to be 9" blocks instead of her various sizes to get the size quilt I needed. The fabric was whatever I had in my stash that was the color of the month - even the background. I'm learning that one does have to buy larger pieces now and then to have on hand for backgrounds. Now to think of a border.  Any suggestions?

I also was able to finish the first round of leaders and enders around my Mother Goose medallion  as I cooked and baked and visited with my DGSs #1 and 4.  Just have columns of half blocks to add to the sides now, and that baby top will be done.  I'm liking this way of using up scraps.

I hope you had a wonderful holiday or weekend. Blessings!

On this day

I thank you for your friendship.

 Happy Thanksgiving

Here's the Start of

my next baby quilt top using those leader and enders I told you about in my last post.  It's on my design wall now.  As you can see it will be a simple medallion. I wanted a larger print for the center, but couldn't find it!  This Mother Goose one will do.  I'll probably move some of the units here and there.  It's great how the camera can spot things the eye doesn't register - like those two yellows on the right side.  I'll have to rotate one of them or just put it in another side. I'll see.

Found another darling linky party.  This one over in Kiwi Land. It's called sew, stitch, snap, Share.
Go check it out.  I'm also linking to Design Wall Monday, BOMs Away,  Moving it Forward, and Monday Making.

I hope you got to quilt today.  My DD and I are off to the local quilt guild meeting in a bit.

Blessings,
