The Ramblings and Rumblings of my Life......
I was getting out all the quilt tops that need to be sandwiched this morning. This is all of those tops.
Since I finally made it to Hobby Lobby last week, I'll be putting a coupe of these together in the coming weeks.

is a filmsey.....I finished it last night. It will go into my box of filmsey and wait to be finished. Just like the others waiting...they all need sandwiched, tied and binding. If I ever make it to Hobby Lobby, that is! This is on my Wait List...you can check other Wednesday Wait Listers out over at The Inquiring Quilter.
And I'm going to start pulling fabrics for a new project....as if I need another one. It's a toss up between these 2...maybe I'll do both, who knows. These two quilts are in the book Patchwork Quilts & Gifts by Jo Colwill.
Spot the Daisy
Childhood Memories...I'll be changing this one a little bit. I'll be putting farm animals on mine.

The last couple weeks I've been working on 3 quilt tops...trying to get into filmsey stage. One is close.
My Red Work quilt is almost done. Just have to finish appliqueing the hearts on. Then the border can be added.
My Circle (Quilty 365) is getting closer. Still have to attach some more circles and border.
And I've got my "bugs" pinned on my SAHRR quilt. Well, not all of them, but it's a start.
Once the bugs are all appliqued down, I can start working the center panel. This is a sample of what is going in the middle panel. I haven't quite got the placing of these items yet, but I'll figure it out. And I might add a farmer to the center, is I can find a good one to applique. I'll have to search for one this evening.
Watering Can
a sign post...
I just pick one to work on in the evening while watching t.v. I'll be working on the SAHRR tonight.

The bugs have arrived on my SAHRR. butterflies, bees, and snails. I've it all pinned down, just have to start sewing them all down.
I've also got all the hearts on the basket quilt. They are ready to sew down.
And I'm still working on Wk 11 of TAST, which is the French Knot. I've got a lot of French Knots to
make for this one. Each one of those green lines has French Knots at the ends of them. I'll be making some pink and some yellow. You can find Wk 11 over at Pintangle.
This is what I'll be working on today.....now I just have to make up my mind and pick one to work on.
I'm joining...
Have a great.....
I couldn't grasp the concept of putting my Red Work quilt on point. I watched a gazillion videos, read lots of articles, and looked at many pictures.... but still didn't get it. Math is not my strong suit. I never measure my quilts ahead of time, I just start them and work through it. But the Red Work was calling me, so I figured out a way to put this quilt together...just not on POINT. So here it is.. And your know what....I like it! And to me, that's enough.
I just have to put the outside borders on,,,,,the border is the same black fabric as the strips in the middle......and it will be done. I'll be finishing this one tonight... you want to see it close up...just click on the picture.

found the fabric I like for my Red Work Baskets...I laid it out on my design floor to see how it looks...but I'm not liking this at all????
I thought I'd add a basket to the alternate blocks....but...isn't there always a BUT! Not sure I like that either...this quilt is giving me a Headache trying out how to get it together. HELP!!! Any and all suggestions are welcomed.

Monday Making
Have a wonderful....
Today is the last day of May...my OPAM project for May is the Teapot Quilt. It is almost done...it will be finished today...so I'll make my deadline. This quilt is also my WOOFA project.
I've also added some yellow to the Red Work quilt....I'm not really happy with this color as an alternate block....Mr. Seam Ripper is coming out of the drawer today! Back to the drawing board...have any ideas as to what color to use for alternate blocks....while making my RSC basket block, I got the idea to put baskets between the red work blocks. Now to figure out what color to make the blocks.
I've got my Purple RSC basket block done.
Well, I guess that's it for today...hope you all have an AWESOME...
I've been working on my Red Work blocks...I have 8 61/2" squares...I was puzzled as what to do with them....8 blocks don't make a very big quilt. So I put different colored borders around each block. Now what to do with them is the next question. I know I want to add a colored block between them...haven't decided what color to use...any suggestions....maybe a light yellow or orange....ummm...I'll have to lay it out and see what happens....
The new color for RSC is out...it's going to be
Purple...I'll have to drag out my Purple and make a basket.
So what have you been doing with scraps?? Lots of goodies
I hope...I'm linking up with:
Have a great day!!
I can't believe it's the last Friday of May already...where did the month go? Isn't it funny how one month goes by really fast and some seem to drag on.
For today I'm posting on what I've got done and a couple updates. I got my National Day Calendar block done for May...the second week of May is Reading is Fun. So I've got a book worm sitting on...a pile of books. Isn't he cute.
I got all the Red Work Baskets framed...I put different colors around each one. Now what to do with them next?? There are 8 blocks...so this will be a little quilt. I know I'm going to put a filler block between each one. I've got an idea what I want to do with this....but it's still jumping around in my mind.
