Thanks fmhall2 - this would have made a great rug also...I used furniture fabric. I really am pleased on how it come out. I just may need to make another one.

Everyone seems to be doing fabulous on their projects! Peach/Blueberry pie sounds delicious, but I have neither so will just have to drool over your recipe until I can get to the store.

Well, I have finished the first tote. I ended up with 34 pieces of fabric ( from 1 yard pieces to 8 yard pieces) plus a half tote filled with bits and pieces. I decided to go ahead and tackle one more of the totes.

I am really excited with all of the varieties of fabric, although 95 % is 100%cotton. Just ooohing and aaaawing, then touching, ironing and trimming to even sizes, folding and putting on a shelf (to later be placed in my stash). Any ways, I am just thoroughly enjoying the whole process and figured today is a great day to do it.

That way, choosing the fabrics to do her quilt in will be that much more challenging, yet exciting!

Ooh count me in today too please, although I am getting a late start in the sewing room. I am working on a fence rail lap quilt for my grandmother. I have noticed over the past few months that my piecing is getting a little sloppier than I like so I am going WAY back to basics on this one. Made a lunchmeat/cheese tray lastnight for the family to have for lunch and I might just order in pizza later so I can spend the day in here playing with my fabric toys!

OK...pie is in the oven...hubby planted the peach seeds...LOL..wonder if they will grow..now back to sewing....I have a bunch of tumblers cut so just may do a scrappy tumbler. I even cleaned the kitchen so hopefully no more interuptions. the house does smell good...

think I will join you for the virtual quilting day. I have been getting to do the quilt day tomorrow, but if I work on that today then I can get another part of it ready for tomorrow. I am working ona French Braid quilt. The 1st two parts of it were done, so I am working on three and four. And if I have really good luck I could get started on the separator sections. I will be using Kirsten (my FW), so I am excited about that. Catch up with you later to see what everyone is doing.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]348973[/ATTACH]Well I was going through my fabric and came upon these..
I forgot all about them. I bought them a year ago in Newbury Ma, by the ocean last vacation. I have a template that I can use to square them up. No idea how I should sew them...thinking maybe different fabric and make sashing on each one. then maybe white around each of the sashings to pull them together. hmmm...hints, ideas?? well off to go cut
