Quilts Are Lining Up!

The Quilts are lining up.  I have 2 that are ready to be quilted and have the binding done. 1 top coming together. 2 that need me to pick out the design and fabric and 3 Quilts that are from family reunions in need of the tops being put together. Shoowsh.  

That is a lot of quilts and it doesn't even count the ones that I started on but haven't put them together as a sandwich. Argggg.

Need to put priorities in place so I can accomplish all of my quilting projects. Do you have any suggestions?????

Snow is falling all around...

I heard a song that goes... Snow is falling all around, on my head and on the ground.... there is more but I forget the rest.

And Yes we do have snow falling. It started about a week before Halloween. I was hoping that it wouldn't, since I still had work to do in the garden. Didn't get my tulips planted yet. Thinking about planting them in containers. hmmmm...

New Quilt Project

Here is a new quilt that I am currently working on.

I'm planning on putting a 3 borders on. The middle border will be the remnants of the the colorful fabric.

For this quilt I used one jelly roll, one mini cake and one layer cake of Moda's Sweet Harmony.  I still have left over fabric, so I will find another project for that. The squares are 10 inch squares finished. The plan is to make the quilt 88 inches x 88 inches or close to it.

I think setting the squares in a rainbow effect makes it look cheery and bright.  This will be going to my Granddaughter who just graduated from High School and will be heading to college.

I will post another photo once I have added the borders.

Spring is here!

Well at least the calendar says Spring is here.  We still have snow. It is slowly melting.

I am still working on the two block quilt. Need to do the quilting on it before May.  My son's birthday is then and this is his present from me to him this year.

RECIPE TIME:

Beef and Bean Taco Burritos

1lb Hamburger meat
1 can Red Beans
1 pkg of Taco seasoning
1 jar Tostitos mild chunky salsa
8 oz of Cheddar Cheese
1 pkg of Flour Tortillas

Brown the hamburger meat and drain. Add can of beans, taco seasoning, salsa and half the cheese. Heat until thoroughly combined.  Heat your flour tortillas in the microwave for 1 - 2 min. until steaming hot.  Put hamburger mixture and some more cheese into the tortilla. Fold up into a burrito. Enjoy.

You can also use this mixture as a Taco Salad. Instead of Flour Tortillas, use Tortilla chips and add salad, mix together with meat mixture. Yummy

Both Blocks together

Here are both blocks put together in the layout I want.......

Block #2 for Quilt

Hi,  Here is the 2nd block for the quilt I am working on.  This one is easier to put together than the Star block.

Sew, Cut, Press and Square Up

Have you notice that when you are making a quilt you do the same things over and over again?  I have. Sew, Cut, Press and Square up.  I am working on a quilt that has 36 squares (12 inch finished each), 18 of those have 5 hour glass blocks in each.  So I have been Sewing, Cutting, Pressing and Squaring up a lot of 4 1/2 inch blocks for the 12 inch finished blocks. So below is some pictures of my adventure in this quilt.....also here is a link to how to sew the Ohio Star by Missouri Star Quilt Company...
