Sylvia Bridal Sampler Fabrics

I love batiks! As I am sure that you can see from this picture. These are the fabrics that I am going to be using in my Sylvia's Bridal Sampler Quilt. I love the Elm Creek Books and fell in love with this quilt. What you can't see is the solid black that I will be using for the sashing, background of some of the blocks and for the border.






As I am typing this my friend just sent me an email from Hancock's and they are having a batik sale. I have to resist! Try to resist! I am sure that I will give in though.

Roll Roll Cotton Boll Parts 3 & 4!

I have gotten back on track with the Roll Roll Cotton Boll Mystery from Quiltville. Part 3 took me awhile to do. I had done a lot of strings a couple of months ago so I think that I was burnt out on string blocks. Love how these look and can't wait to see how this all comes together because I have no idea how these are all going to fit together.


Part 4 went really quickly. Especially compared to the string blocks above. I started part 5 today and when I read the instructions for it I about fell out of my chair! I need to make 600 red and neutral 2" half square triangle units


Bright Houses for David and Katy!

Here is the last Christmas present for this year! I finished it on Saturday and it is on it's way to my brother-in-law and his wife in Texas. I sent it priority mail so hopefully it will get there before Christmas. These blocks were from a swap in my online quilt group.
