You all knew I had the Blue - but ... were you surprised at the orange? haha!! Ya - me neither...

These are kind of fun- got more to make, and then I  think I will hang on to them for a bit, and maybe over the month I can prep some more in the colorways she asked for...

I think the drive is going until August.

Dinosaurs, Farms and! Finished! ( or not) Friday

Alas - I do not have a finish for this week either. But!! I have a list, and a plan to get a finish sometime in the near future!

You might remember - I made a quilt top of Dinosaurs for my son for his birthday - and now!! I am making the back!!

It is dinosaur Batiks, I have the width correct - now I need to add to the top and the bottom...

This is the top I made him (just in case you haven't memorized EVERYTHING I do haha)

And the Pound Puppy - She is so fun - and she SO misses her boy. He is almost done with his project that does not allow dogs,...  I can't tell who misses who more!

And now a brag!!

My Father in Law - he is the best! He is truly one of a kind and such a hard worker. ( My Mother in law is NO slouch tho - let me tell you - she's a hand!!)

But Back to my FIL - he was the Ag teacher for 30 years, and has helped countless people in their ag endeavors ( yours truly included) 

The school he worked for started a farm for the community and the FFA and all the Ag folks - and it got named after him!! The two folks standing in the center - my inlaws!

I screen shotted the FB post that their FFA posted - We were just So tickled! He is the best and now, everyone will know. 

Alrighht!! I have bragged enough.... your turn - what did you finish? Or Not this week?

Link up your direct post - and share the link up - the more the merrier.. and then more quilts I want to see!!

Rainbow scrap challenge update

 The colors for June are the Lights Blue, Green and Pink.... 

So I decided it was time to take stock of what I had and what direction I needed to go.

I have a plan - but I don't know how that plan will work - so its *secret* as of now.... just in case I change my mind.   It HAS been know to happen 😜

There are a lot - and I kind of have a good mix of Light and Dark Greens and Pinks, but not so many lights in the Blue department. I may go in that direction... we will see. 

There are A LOT of blocks!!!

Potato Chip Blocks

 After I finished the Pringles - I still had pieces left over so I started on the Potato Chip Blocks. 

I had some time Sunday - and look at how they are growing!

I think they are 9 1/2 inch blocks??? I should have measured .. i will before they go into a top - I usually like to square up my blocks. But now I am just having fun mindlessly stitching them.

I tried to get caught up on my blog reading too - and I saw that Cynthia at Many Hands and Many hearts has started a new block drive - a mini potato chip ish block.

I got all excited - here was another way to use up these pieces, until my brain turned on and I saw she wants  the pieces 2 1/2 inch wide. NO WORRIES... I have a bin full of 2 1/2 inch strips = so will take some time and pull the colors she wants. 

I really like being able to help out when I can - When I first started Quilts of Valor here so many people helped us - its nice to be able to give back, even if its just a little.

Off to play in the 2 1/2 strip bin...

Oh!! 

Hopefully this works - I was making a little video for my Granddaughter ( whoa  - that feels weird to say!!) so she could hear what the horsie said... My horsies were being goofy - the one in the front is just two, and the one in the back will be one on Wednesday !
