Thank you for the compliment but no shows for me, I am strictly a make and give away quilter. My competitive streak is rather chicken and lily-livered. I am a much better explorer of untried patterns. That's an adventure I can enjoy immensely.

Good morning swapping friends! It is June 20 and birthday address day. Just a reminder that we do NOT have any July birthdays this year. So, off you go to vacation, garden, diminish you stash or and to just create loveliness.
Don't forget 2.5 day is Sunday. Be ready to show us something you have made or are working on that makes use of our dear little 2.5" squares. I am busy scouring my stash to see how much more my Christmas Cross quilt can grow.. Looks to be a bit small now. More blocks and a photo on the 25 of June.

Oh, I just love the finished quilts NZ and WMUTEACH. SO LOVELY. I also like the scrappy star design. It’s on my want to do list if I live long enough. LOL.
This week I’m working on adding borders for a Halloween top and quilt. I’m debating between s light purple 2.5’ strip and solid black 6.5’ border. Or, black 2.5” border with an orange background with Halloween designs. I’m leaning towards the solid black border option. Then I need to finish the last 3 blocks on my r/w/black top. Then I can sew the top together and quilt over the weekend. And…. Bind both next week.
Well coffee break time is over. I guess it’s time to do some house cleaning. Ugh! Happy quilting & sewing everyone.

You all are going to like this whether or not it makes it to your bucket list. I love free patterns amenable to candies!

ibex, sure do like the pattern. I know I have seen it before recently but did not save it because it called for 5" squares. Now I have saved it. I could likely make it from my pink/purple yardage and scraps. Thanks for the pattern link.
