Today, on my way to work on the MetroLink, I finished the 8th block of the Dawn’s Vicksburg BOM. Only two more blocks to go! It’s been so long since I started this one, I can’t even remember if I have the next block prepared or not…..guess I know what I’ll be doing tonight

Design Wall :)
I’ve got something new going on on my design wall! Wow, lousy picture, I need a better lighting setup for DWM pictures
Check out Judy’s Design Wall Monday post for other DWM posts.
Here are my November First Saturday blocks:
I’ve sewn all the units from steps 1 & 2 of Roll, Roll, Cotton Boll (RRCB) and started working on the borders for Topsy Turvy Nine Patch (finally)!!

RRCB Step 2 and TTNP above
I laid out my Technicolor Yawn blocks to decide if I want to add any kind of a border to it. I’m leaning towards a 2″ red inner border followed by two rows of scrappy squares.

I finished the 5th step for the Stay-at-home-robin (SAHR).

Cotton Boll
Tamera (of Tamera Quilts) commented on my post yesterday and, through an email exchange, we both committed to start Bonnie Hunter’s mystery quilt, Roll Roll Cotton Boll last night. So I pulled some greens and started cutting 2″ pink & green strips for Step 1. I even started sewing
My only rule for this quilt is I have to use fabrics from my stash…..no new purchases for it, I’m serious, no new fabric!!
Wall, What Wall?
It’s Design Wall Monday again and I’m usually excited about it but that’s because I usually have something new up. Not so this week….boring

I did accomplish something this weekend…..drum roll, please……I have ALL the blocks for Technicolor Yawn sewn. YEA!! Here are all 18 “A” blocks and 17 “B” blocks, ready to sew into a top. In fact, I was humming along on these blocks, having such fun, that I ignored that voice in my head that said, “You should spend a bit of time working on something else so you have some new on the wall for DSM”.
Did you hear that Bonnie Hunter is having another mystery quilt-a-long? It’s Roll, Roll, Cotton Boll and I’ve been toying with the idea of doing this one. I pulled two of the colors needed just to see if I’d have enough in my stash as I refuse to buy any more fabric this year. I’m pretty sure I have enough…….
FNSI Action
Click this link: Friday Night Sew-In to see all the sewing action at Handmade by Heidi. In my FNSI action, we have……more Technicolor Yawn (aka Scrap Vomit) “B” blocks. I was able to get 4 blocks done on Friday night. I have 12 sewn & one ready for the final seams so I’m counting it as 13 down & 4 more to go, yea!!!
