Field of Flowers progress - 70 1/2" X 79" and ready for borders! It looks wider than long in the photo, but that is just the angle - once I have borders on I will be able to get a "hanging" photo but I don't want those ba-zillion outside seams to pop just for the sake of a photo.

Scrappy Bargello - a free pattern at http://www.quiltville.com/. Very easy. Great stash buster. I used lots and lots of odd ball fat quarters (brights and whacky prints!) plus a fair amount of older fabrics from my stash, especially a big assortment of medium valued fabrics that I always pass over when looking for contrast. It was a hard quilt for me to finish though - I did not expect it to take so long to sew together! Sew, sew, sew! But I kept at it - pinning and sewing slowly but surely. And finally - I was so close to being done, how could I not finish the 6th stratta? I think I might have enough black for a narrow inner border and will probably have to buy fabric for the outer border... I will have to take a look. I am leaning toward simple borders since the inside is so busy.

Crochet a rug!

One of my sisters bought TONS of selvage from some fabric mill. And look what she makes out of it - rugs! With a jumbo crochet hook. They are so super soft and cushy. I just HAD to take some photos to share!

Only 1 stratta left to go! My BIG field of colorful flowers quilt for Little Boy. Each time I put it down on the floor - I lay it out differently - so there really is no "plan".

Flowers are for picking!

Little Boy picks flowers for me. I'm a lucky Momma!
