Quilt-along Block Two FINISHED!

I am done with block two!!

AND EARLY EVEN

I know...don't faint.

Maybe blogging the progress

was a good idea after all.

Guess what?

Not only did I get Block Two finished,

But

I made a BONUS block too!

Doesn' that just take the cake?

Hope I don't need those pieces later

or I may cry...

and you will have to listen to me.

So here are the pictures:

Block number Two

I actually like this block even better than

the first one:

Block number One

However, I do not like them TOGETHER,

if that makes any sense.

I put them next to each other and

I didn't like it.

So NOW I am working strictly on

FAITH

that the finished product will have

a cohesiveness that I do not

yet see!

It HAS to...I am using a Jelly Roll

after all.

Then after I was done with the block,

I noticed several elements left over.

SEW...

I tossed 'em together to create

THIS

(and have NO idea what I'm going

to do with it)

Bonus block

There were SEW many ways

to fiddle with the left-overs,

but this way won.

I love to play spin the block!

How about you?

Did you finish?

Did you make a bonus block from the

left-overs?

Are you saving the left-overs until

a later time?

DO TELL!

For those of you following

along...(chirp, chirp...awkward silence)

Quilt-along Week One DONE!

Check ME out!

I finished my first block.

I think I am in love! 

She's so purdy.

The 9-patch in the middle is

accidentally made with the same

print on dark and light fabrics.

I didn't notice that until

I was done.

Then the border is almost

a blown-up version

of the darker squares.

SEW PRETTY!

If you're following along,

you will notice my version

is less scrappy than the original.

I'm all for scrapy, but

I liked it this way better.  lol.

Now we have two weeks

to complete block number two.

I'll post that info next.

Toodles for now!

Jelly Roll Quilt Along Block 1

Okay, I have my

material picked out!



The Jelly roll is from Moda's

Civil War Homefront

by

Barbara Brackman.

LOVE IT! 

I kinda have a "thing"

with Civil War era fabrics.

And furnishings.

And life...

I may have to get

another one for a

disappearing 9-patch quilt...

ANYWAY

The background fabric

is going to be

unbleached muslin.

I have what I believe

will be enough, but

if I get stuck, it's

only a couple of bucks

a yard AND easy to

match if I need more.

I have not picked a border

yet, but I have a possible one

in my stash.

Never occurred to me to take a

picture, but it's a red toile

printed on off-white.

I LOVE TOILE!

Also have not picked a backing,

but will more than likely

go with more muslin.

So there you have it.

And what did YOU choose?

Here is the link for the

materials list.

See you in a week with the finished

block!!  Whoo-hoo!

Jelly Roll Quilt-A-Long

I am going to do it.

The actual quilt-a-long is actually over.

It ended in August.

She does have a new one going now,

But I have the materials for THIS one.

So here it is.

I'm going to do the



From http://moosequilts.blogspot.com/.

I can't wait!

I looked ahead at all the different blocks.

I'm a little nervous about one or two,

But like mama always said:

I'm "taking it one step at a time!"

How about you quilt along with me?

We can be the Quilt Along Procrastinators Club!

I'll link to http://moosequilts.blogspot.com/

each week so we can be on the same page

and I'll blog about my progress...

and YOU comment about YOUR progress!

Okay?  Okay!

Cheers!

Just Amy

Coming soon...

Thanks for stopping by!

Just a few notes on things

to come in

November

Don't expect this EVERY month...

I'm generally not this

"organized"...

That's right. I consider this

to be organized!

First, in a few days I'll let

you all in on a little secret.

I'll give you a teensy hint:



Okay, that was probably MORE

than teensy...but that's all

you get.

Second, I will be working through

some Holiday Resources from

Passionate Homemaking...

to hopefully add some

PURPOSE

to the holidays.

Love that site...check it out!

Third, I will also be working through

a couple ebooks from Kat

at Inspired To Action:

AND

Mission Statements For Moms

Let me just insert here

how much Kat has

truly inspired me

and dare I say...even

changed my life!

There.  I said it.

I originally wanted to do the

"mornings" one first,

because that's the one

she is focusing on

over at her BLOG.

I have, however; decided to do the

Mission Statement

first because

that should help me focus

my time wisely when I'm

attempting to get up before

my rugrats children

every morning.  Right?

RIGHT!

This is all a little

scary for a self-professed

lazy procrastinator.

Telling you what I plan to do.

Now I'll have to do it

or you will find out I'm really

not joking when I call myself

that...

This cannot happen!

That's why I'm doing it!

ACCOUNTABILITY!

GO ME!

Anyway...stay tuned.
