Tonight I pieced together a scrappy back for my grandson's tumbler quilt (my second) and hope to finish it this week! It's a good feeling to clean out the yardage to make room for more :) Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12357338881151354390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-59392643045293824402016-07-25T19:40:15.206-04:002016-07-25T19:40:15.206-04:00Cool, Bonnie!

It includes the colors you have chosen (except the purple, but hey)! I really needed a project that would require me to cut that baby up! Small pieces! Yeah! It will be a fab quilt!

When I move and get my sewing room set up it will be something I focus on to help me get some projects finished. Well done.<br />Thanks for helping out with spreading the word for Jan-Maree at Aussie Hero quilts. The donations of cash exceeded $47,000. Such a great effort. People have donated quilting supplies and storage warehouses... She is up and running again and we are back to making and sending off quilts to servicemen/women.

But have about 8-10 rows ready to sew together. Firgure it will get put up as a main project now. Oh and have a huge headstart on hourglass blocks as I did some math a bit wrong enfding up with three times what was needed for my SmithnMountain Morning quilt. But now they've found a home. How cool is that! Thanks Bonnie for everything you do to make our quilting journey so enjoyable!

I have never done anything like this. I have been trying to figure out a layout for a quilt I want to make and I think you have just established that for me. I love the red and white example quilt. I look forward to how much fun this will be. Thank you for your great imagination and artistry. Have a Blessed Day! And thanks again.

And I find that I have several boxes of jelly rolls. I may use them to make lots of leaders and enders into hourglass blocks as time permits. But using 2-1/2" jelly rolls, my finished hourglass blocks may be a bit oversized. Hope that's okay!! ❤️Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03102151457070420429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-36970771309481346402016-07-18T18:31:29.252-04:002016-07-18T18:31:29.252-04:00Thaks for givi g me permissio to work o the tum ...Thaks for givi g me permissio to work o the tum ler project full time or part time, I thi k I am the last perso to get it do e, ut, ow I ca work o oth.
