Sour Dough Quilt progress.....slow !!!.

While working on the twin baby quilts, I had to stop to shop for more fabric.

So, I pulled out my Sour Dough quilt blocks to count them and decided to 

work on a few more.

Here is my progress

and I am really liking the layout that I think I will use.

You can really see the layout design from a distance.

Here it is a bit closer...

Don't you just love the daisies????

and here is a single 8" block...

Blessings 

for a great week

full of "opportunities"

to share our Lord's

precious love!!

Sour Doug Quilt progress and more strawberry bread

Today was a good day to use up some of those $.99 strawberries 

that I bought at Aldi's !!

Strawberry Oatmeal Loaves

Two , iced for NOW, and one for the freezer !!

I now have ten blocks completed on my 

Sour Dough Quilt...

Have you tried this twistie thing on the back when pressing..??/

Simply clip a few threads, GENTLY

and fold down...

This keeps your seem from being too heavy!!

Let me know how it works for you...

Sour Dough Quilt Progress...

Not doing too well with reorganizing my fabric...but I am still thinking on it...maybe when it gets cooler!!

I have been able to work on blocks for the sour dough quilt and here they are...

Each block has a dark side and a light side. Most of my scraps seem to be brights so my darks are on the left of the black and pink polka dots accents and my lights on the right, diagonally.

This is not the pattern, I just layed the seven completed blocks out on the ironing board so you could see them.

Here is a picture of a completed sour dough quilt that my friend ,Dorothy, sent to us and I think this is the layout that we will all use. I am not sure if there are others OR what it would look like if sashing and borders were added.

We also celebrated my sister's 60th birthday last week and I made her hand prints of her three grandchildren's hands and framed them...

I actually got this idea from a friend so I can not claim originality here!!

And here is one of the little cuties with "G POP"...

His not so little print is the green one!!!
(My daddy is 84!! Doesn't he look great!!)

Sour Dough progress and new fabric purchased...

I am still cutting my scrap fabric and trying to divide them into darks and lights. This is difficult for me as many of my fabrics are bright colors...here is a sample square that I am playing with.

The squares are 1 1/2" & 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" & 4 1/"

You can see I am using the accent color of black with pink dots.

This is Love Me Love ME Not by Ro Gregg for Northcott #2390.

The top right square is the same but #2382.

The bottom left square is Gerber  by Donna Dewberry for Free Spirit #DD21.

Not too sure the idea of dark & light fabric is showing up, but I like it anyway!!

I am thinking of using this sample and complete the quilt with some pink borders...

Here are a few of my newest fabrics...
Little lady bugs... Daisy Bugs, Michael Miller

Yellow windowpane and cherries...Oh-Cherry-Oh, Me & My Sister Design by Moda

Here is a vintage tablecloth that I bought at a yard sale for $3. It has a few small holes but I can applique over those...

I will make a quilt with this as the top and probably add a border or two...perhaps using the Oh-Cherry-Oh fabric in the border or binding...

I was thrilled to find this fabric as I have had the tablecloth for about a year.

I will keep you posted!!
