I snapped a couple of shots of the things on my family room sewing table. I made these units, using my stash of thrifted shirts, at my scrap club last Saturday:
And started working on these this week:
These couldn’t possibly be new projects, could they? Because I certainly DO NOT need anymore projects going on!!
Happy Valentine’s Day 
My Design wall has more of the same and something new. I finished another piece of the Vicksburg border applique and block 7 of Barbara Brackman’s civil war BOW. What’s new are the two plaid squares in the middle. Check out Kate’s post here to see where I’m headed with them. Be sure to hop over to Judy’s DWM post.
Here’s block 7 for the civil war BOW.
These are the shirts I’m using for more blocks like the green/blue ones in the middle of my design wall. I think this quilt will be fun and should go fast.
I’ve continued to cut and sew leader/ender sytle more half square triangles for step 5 of RRCB. There are now over 200 (each stack is 20) …… less than 400 to go!
I got a couple of other things done this weekend including cutting block 5 of Moon Glow, my UFO 2011 Challenge for Feb. I probably won’t get it together this month as I’m still working on Jan’s block 4. I’m hand piecing these as doing them on the machine wasn’t working out very well. I’m keeping at them and that’s more than I can say for 2003-2010!! I pieced the binding for the animal quilt too.
Stash Report:
I used a cute fabric to fussy cut some squares. Then I pulled some fabrics from my stash to frame them. I think they are pretty cute Check out Judy’s design wall Monday post to see what other quilters are working on.
What? You say this is a new project??? Why, yes, it is. But I’ve been sewing half square triangles for RRCB leader/ender style. And, since today is a holiday, I plan to sew my Moon Glow block.
Stash Report:
Monday evening I made a decision to use multiple reds for Roll, Roll, Cotton Boll. I had toyed with the idea of using dark raspberry but I didn’t have enough fabric in my stash that I thought would work. I looked at using one red fabric as Bonnie did but after looking at several other RRCB quilts in progress (like Jo’s or Pat’s or Wendy’s) decided I liked the more scrappy look of several different reds. Below is my selection of reds. Please tell me what you think of them……I started cutting the one in strips but can change any of the others. The picture is close to the actual colors.
RRCB step 5 is making 600, yes, 600 half square triangles from the reds and neutrals. I’ve cut 42 so far 
.
I’ve cut up the thrifted shirts so I’ll have to add 4 1/2 yards IN on my first stash report for 2011……when I post it 
Happy Quilting, Cherie
Last post I mentioned I bought some more shirts……check out those great stripes in blue & green. I see a boy quilt in my future I have to add 9 more yards to my stash report once I get them all cut up…..but these were definitely worth it
I was gone a week and I have a bunch of pictures to post but first, here’s my Design Wall.
Click over to Judy’s Design Wall Monday post to see what other quilters have on their walls
Next up I finished my Recycled Cabins quilt! It’s made completely from re-purposed shirts and I’m so pleased with it.
As you see on my design wall I finished my First Saturday BOM blocks
I completed the 3rd SAHR block.
While I was gone, I did a little shopping
Check out the Cheddar…..I’m loving it!
What this means of course, is my stash report must be update 
Stash Report:
This post #299 for quiltedjonquil and it’s a Design Wall Monday post Click over to Judy’s Design Wall Monday post to enjoy what other quilters are working on. My wall doesn’t have anything new this week and I’ll be gone next week
I did sew the blue plaid binding on the Recycled Cabins quilt….only have to hand sew the binding down and I’ll have a finish soon.
And here’s my stash report….I picked up two tail ends at The Quilted Fox Saturday and got the thrifted shirts & skirt cut up.
Stash Report:
I stopped at a thrift store today because they are having a Labor Day sale and I had some time. Glad I did because look what I snagged
The great gold is an XXL shirt, the red stripe is a great shirting (see below) and the pink/green print is a cotton skirt so I’ll get some nice large pieces. The stripe shirt on the right isn’t for my fabric stash…it’s a Liz non-iron shirt for me…for $1.50, nice!
And last, here’s a picture of the pieced blocks for the Vicksburg FREE BOM to complete the pictures from my last post
Have a great Labor Day weekend.
I’m posting Friday Night Sew-in pictures a little late but Saturday was a busy day
I cut, sewed & ironed bindings for the Steelers quilt and the Recycled Cabins quilts, yea! AND…..
Worked on making liberated stars from crumb blocks. Fun!
Another Design Wall Monday. Go to Judy’s DWM post for links to other DWM posts. Here’s my design wall. Yes, the half hexies are hiding behind the Downy Touch of Comfort quilt. I was too busy bonding with Sophie to get the rows sewn together
I quilted this it with free style flowers and I’m pleased with the way it turned out.
I also finished the log cabin quilting and a second Downy quilt.
Here’s the finished tile block. I had lots of fun working on this and have another one started. It will be awhile before I work on a third one as I have another Vicksburg FREE BOM ready to applique.
I continued working on the half square triangles for the Pinwheel Party sashing. I hope to have the pinwheels for at least one of the quilts done by this weekend by working a bit each day. I’m quilting one more Downy top tonight and then maybe one other charity quilt before I load up another one of my quilts.
