Remember these?

I pieced these a couple years ago. And in the process, I got so sick of them I hadn’t touched them since! But I had hubby bring them out when he was here in December. I figured I would have to do something with them then! So I have started to play a bit.

These all came from one Fat Quarter bundle and while I do like the fabrics, I’m finding them a bit boring altogether.  I thought off setting them might help.

Or maybe I will just go block to block as originally planned. Sigh….I really have fallen out of love with these. But it’s time to get this top done. 

Have a great day!

My sister has flown home after a lovely visit, a once in a lifetime visit, really. Here are a few more pics of our time together.

First pictures of our day hiking at the White Tank Mountains.

And pics from our Super Hero Fun Run.

Pretty much everyone dressed up. We spotted Captain Underpants there….

I loved the bounce house for the kids. 

We all got fun capes to wear!

Both of these fun days were overcast and rained a little, but it didn’t dampen our fun!

Have a great day!

I love most fabrics, but one designer is a true favorite of mine. And it shows in the number of quilts I have made from her fabric lines! Denyse Schmidt comes up with some of the very best quirky/retro/modern fabrics of anyone out there. And all of her lines play nicely together. Here are some of the quilts I have made from DS fabrics over the last few years.

And here are some of my more recent WIPs from the same group of fabrics.

Do you have any favorite designers? Have a great day!

I started piecing my HST units together. 

I’m making four large blocks and will piece those together and add a border when I get home to Michigan. I took my sister to the airport very early this morning so a bit of piecing, some housework, and a nap are on the agenda for today!
Have a good one!

I’m still playing with layout options for my HSTs. I decided to use a layout app for Instagram. It allows you to make simple collages of photos. For example, I put this up on my design wall and took a photo.

Then I opened it in the app and placed it in a layout that had four equal places for pictures. I put the same pic in each square to get this:

It gives you an idea of how your design would look with more blocks, without having to lay out a gazillion more on the design wall.

Here is another  example:

And one more.

Pretty cool, huh? 

Have a great day!

I’ve been having a great time with my sister this week! On Tuesday, we headed up to the Grand Canyon. It was so neat to see it at this time of year! I’m always amazed at the beautiful world God created for us! We saw snow as we drove through Flagstaff! 

Tuesday evening, we drove to Sedona and spent most of the day exploring there.

I will share more of our adventures another time. Thank you for all your lovely comments on my Doe Quilt top and my Wrap Up posts for 2016. It was a great quilty year!

Have a wonderful day!
