Speaking of being in the red, after we returned home from the pool, I went down to the quilt studio determined to sew together the rows of my ribbon quilt so I could get it off my design wall. But I had just a tiny bit of red thread on a spool on the machine left over from my CD holder project so I decided to sew together some of my red 1.5" squares to use that up before switching spools. Well, I got carried away.
I love making words with these scraps. I'll never make a dent in my stash or my scraps if I keep using such tiny pieces, but this was a fun exercise. The beginnings of a color quilt perhaps...
The ribbon quilt remains on the design wall, untouched.

As a quilter it is easy to get distracted...I think it is just the way our brains are geared! I have been slow at blogging lately so trying to catch up this morning. I love the cd holder!
I always feel great when I do something other than planned. It revitalizes me and I know the other project is still waiting for me. Cute letters.
This month we are doing letters in the class i am teaching. I have been wanting to do some for a couple of scrap quilts.
When I wrote out the schedule I just put down things I wanted to do, amaging how many gals sign up to learn with me.
gotta brag, I got a lg garbage bag of flannel last night, have not gone through it yet, a friend teaches home ec and instead of fleese they did a flannel project. If there is enough I will kit it up for charity quilts. I will try send you what is not going to be used. (more zebra print!!)
I love love the idea of a color word quilt and each time I see a color in your style I think of my quilt you made me!!!! Have you checked out Tonya at Lazy Gal Quilting? She is the word maestro!!!
