    Love the way you updated the DJ&S motifs with borders and graphic fabric. I have some too and wasn't sure how to make it look more nontraditional. Thanks.

    Well...was interupted...hubby was on a cleaning kick...must admit glad we throughly cleaned...so much cat hair...its weird we did not notice it until we started to clean. I have one more closet to check for that pattern. Really hope I can find it. I also made some home made pie crust. Now in the frig for 4 hours. I bought some pie crust yesterday..wow...I do not remember them costing so much. The Blueberry peach pie is just about gone...the hubby eat most of it. It was so yummy!

    I have been working on a 5 point star block. I am trying to explode/expand the points away from the central shape. Started at about 6 am. It is past noon now,
    and I have this:

    I have to go see my mom, so I'll return to the star another day.

    Just taking a quick break. Hubby cleared some more of the bookshelfs, now I have enough room for all the extra fabric. Still looks sort of bare right now, but by the time I finish with this tote and the one other tote, it will be full. Although I really have accomplished quite a bit, you can not tell by the tote. Just a smidgeon appears to be gone from it.

    Love what everyone is posting and such wonderful projects! Off I go to do some more.

    OK, my hopeful goals to reach for today are pp blocks for a swap and at least one little quilt for AAQI project. Time to shower and hit the machines!

    Man what a day, between the phone and my A.D.D. I can't seem to get much done. But finally I've got some progress. I always like to make paper templates before I start cutting on something new and a good thing I did because my first plan was all wrong. I had to make a second set of paper templates that are working out great! the fabric so far is hard on they eyes. I think once I get the solids mixed in things will be ok. Now maybe I can go get that design wall and put my ironing board away.

    Taking a little break....who am I kidding, I've been putzing (sp) around not getting much done. I worked like a dog last wed/thur/fri/sat/sun making 31 blocks to finish the Boom 7 blocks and I don't have much enthusiasum to do much this weekend.

    I sewed together 9 blocks from the flower garden swap last year to make a nice throw for the car. Some of the blocks were smaller than others so instead of trying to add borders to build up, I whacked off to make 12" blocks. I'll sandwhich and quilt another day. I want to get another throw put together today.

    Some of you are putting me to shame , getting so much done! I feel like a slug today. It rained alittle but still need a lot more. muggy! muggy!
