DonnaPea, I'm so sorry to hear about your wounded warrior. I will be sending up prayers for him. Enjoy your time with your granddaughter. Who knows, maybe you will share the quilting bug with her. It's never too early start if they are interested with your supervision. If not, I'm sure you'll eek out a little you time here or there. Enough to wet your whistle anyway. I see you've added quite a few blocks since the last time I commented. I just love the colors your using. It's going to be a great scrappy quilt when finished. Have you given any though to if you will border the blocks or leave them as is.
Anael and Teen, your GTSB are coming along nicely. I love the two different color ways. I will have to check out the pattern again on Google or Pinterest.

Very nice!
I'm jealous of your nice blocks, I have not done any piecing since finishing my border quilt, and that didn't have much piecing to it anyway.
I've been trying real hard to catch up on quilting, and hope to keep caught up once I get there. I've got quite a bit done and now have a stack of unbound quilts!

Judith - thanks for your kind words. I'm still pondering how to put all these blocks together. I'm leaning toward sashing of the same cream that I am using as the background, with cornerstones. I had thought about black sashing, decided it's just too harsh. Still not sure about the outer borders. It's such a large quilt and already so colorful that I may just leave them plain. My gd is showing some interest in needles & thread; last night she rearranged my pincushion. Think I will get her some scraps to play around with.
Auntjo - love your blocks! Grandmother's Fan is next on my list. Are you using a particular color scheme, or are you going scrappy too?
Anael & Teen - my next stop on this board this morning will be the new thread. I will be following your new quilts with great interest. And NZ quilter, good luck with your move. I know that is never an easy process. Would love to see the patriotic blocks when you have some time to spare and post them.
And welcome home to Teen's Sylvia! I'm eager to see your totally completed project.

Thank you Judith, that's what I thought too
I have no idea what color. I keep thinking about those strips but still no clue. I think I will make all the blocks first, lay them out and decide on the strips.

Anael, I love buying fabric too, LOL!! those colors will be great for the Gypsy Wife quilt!
Teen, pleeeaaase show us a picture of your SBS quilt today? I really am excited for you!
Let's hope my picture of my blocks comes through; I am using my DH computer and it has a personality of its own... I am starting from the beginning of the book, in alphabetical order. I figured that way when new fabrics get added in, which happens in all my quilts, everything will hopefully flow together.

I have told myself if I am a good girl and pack half the kitchen this afternoon I will be allowed to make another block tonight (I'm going to be a good girl!)
