Mystery Quilt top done

Yes its a Jelly roll quilt :-) With one added fabric. My daughter (and a few of my other students) decided she didn't want to cut background fabric, so just used another Jelly Roll.  This was a Moda that I had in my stash, so not sure the collection name...

If it looks familiar, I used the leftovers to make my first Quiltsmart Mondo bag
I was also able to finish the last Batik BOM, next to work on Sashings and borders, Fabric-check...it was part of a girls day trip while looking for the best venue for a retreat that my friend Tina and I are going to do probably in late October at Lake Tahoe.





And below, I was able to get the last 4 blocks of the week done..now to sashings and borders.../hmm...I see a theme here...



























Looks like I am going to do more Cutting, cutting, cutting...

Below is a great cause:

The wall hangings are done!




And after finishing these, I caught up on my BOW project (yeah, we been getting more than one a week, and a new one this morning)--7 done--5 to go...





And, I LOVE this block!



The bright leaves are "The Healing Tree" by Melissa Marie Collins-Frond Design Studios--I may have to buy some more of this! The Emerald  green is Plaster of Paris-also by Frond Design Studio, the center is a Jinny Beyer.

Cutting Scrap n stuff....

 Do you cut your scrap? I didn't used to, but took a couple of scrap therapy classes and now I do. I am woefully behind, but little by little....

















This is my Fat Quarter Pack from Windham Fabrics for being the winner of Day 15 of the First Ladies contest, it hasn't told me what it wants to be yet...Thanks again Jennifer Varon for getting them out so timely!
 



 Here they are in a little more glory, they are telling me very traditional right now...but that does not mean that is how they will end up.....

















To the right is a spring wall hanging from Quiltmaker Magazine #150, hoping to finish it tomorrow. Will depend on our weather, we are forecasted thunderstorms which often translates to power-outs.

I am also making a rainy day wall hanging with an umbrella on it called April Showers by Roberta Elliot.

I am also behind on my BOW project. I have blocks 5 & 6 cut, 5 partially sewn and got #7 this morning....
