Pokey, Pokey

It's been a while.  I haven't really done that much crafty stuff, but a few things.  This is a truly scrappy quilt.  I grabbed a bin of "strips" that I had been saving, hoping to get maybe a table runner or small quilt from.  I'm really thrilled that this "wonky log cabin" ended up nearly queen size.  It's so fun, I'm thinking of just straight line quilting it so it can go on the bed for spring.  This is a terrible picture, but I think you get the idea.

I won! I'm so excited!

I am a winner!  (I never win anything, so this is awesome)

I am going to be the proud owner of a new book...to use scraps!   http://pinkchalkstudio.com/blog/2011/10/06/winners-circle-scrap-republic-blog-tour/

Way too cool.

In love with this idea



I am in love with this quilt - look at the pink and grey elephants - good scrap idea!  (Reprinted from a website)

Baby Quilt

The top finished on a baby quilt for a friend.  She is doing the room in Dr. Seuss, so I thought this piece on the border would be perfect.  The baby is a girl, but I think the quilt is neutral enough...

Well, I finally found the cord to the camera - so, here are the pictures from this weekend's quiltopia quilt show. There were several very fun ones, but I found this inspiring.

Another one...

Let's Try Again


Okay, I did block two of the baskets...and decided it didn't go at all with block 1. Although I wanted them scrappy, the colors were all wrong. So, I redid block 1. What do you think?
