Sunday Scrap Status

Spring has sprung

I felt like a slug last week, just couldn't get any momentum going.  First, it was unseasonably cold most days with morning frost, so that precluded my working in the yard for my 1-hour-per-day goal. And one day was broken up by a drive to Oak Ridge for a follow-up ultrasound on my thyroid (all is well!).  The week was also interrupted by the Big Seven Five.  I think I may have been depressed that we couldn't gather the family to celebrate.

I did move a few scrappy projects forward, though.  I settled on a final arrangement for Dots and Dashes.

Dots and Dashes

This is a long-time UFO that uses a collection of pastel florals I had accumulated over time.  I have one more row to assemble, then I can attack the long seams between rows.  Since I had made some new, fresher blocks to perk up D&D, I pondered what to do with the rejects that are mainly non-floral.

I have enough blocks to make a nice baby quilt with a London lawn border.  I am finding baby quilts give me quick satisfaction of accomplishment.  Plus, just how many full-size quilts do I need?

Speaking of which, I finished this baby quilt last week.

Crazy Cats

The cats panel was in my stash and I used scrap strips to frame them.  I also used leftover bits for the border and binding.

And, finally, I eeked out a Rainbow Scrap Challenge block in light blue.

On Saturday we drove to a garden center in Pikeville to pick up a couple of hanging baskets to brighten our front entrance.  I had to do something to distract from the destruction in the landscape caused by the roofers.

Happy Birthday to me!
