    jmoore...how cheery...yes the yellow Grunge is just right for this lovely! Thanks for sharing your WIP. LTG and MSW beckon me but I think they're on a bucket list right now. No you can't twist my arm from "over there", Anael!

    I'm starting to think of graduation quilts. #1 GS graduates next year and then it's a down hill roller coaster ride with graduates. We just found out that #14 is on its way this summer. Wow...another little boy so they are ahead with and 8 to 6 ration! I think this will be the last of the grand baby quilts!!!!

    Have a guild meeting today...better dash as I have some things yet to do before I give the presentation.

    My GW will be oranges, greens, teals, white. I shopped for all fabric already...it's kitted and ready to go..but it's packed...lol! As you know, I rarely do scrappy quilts. The process frustrates me and makes too big of a mess. I Love other's scrappies but not my own.

    I am almost done with a Dresden quilt I started and I'm using all the remnants and scraps from Happy Birds quilt. The remains will be cut up in the sizes I am collecting for a couple of future projects I'll make when I have enough. Cutting as I go is as scrappy as I am willing to go.

    Here's what I'm working on today.
    [ATTACH=CONFIG]608318[/ATTACH]
    I machine pieced the flowers. And decided to hand applique it, the stems and leaves. Easier that way. Still have the last flower to sew down. It's a snow day today, good day to sew.

    All done with this block. I soaked it for a 1/2 hour in cool water last night to get out my washable blue marker, the glue and to puff out the flowers.

    I made a basket block with 3 little flowers. It spoke to me more than the one that was there. Haven't decided what fabric for the corners.
    Yes, I ordered Long Time Gone through etsy yesterday. Can't wait to get it. I have a 3 day quilt retreat early in March. That would be a perfect time to start LTG. Hoping to have my GTSB done by then.

    Sewing......flowers look great...I did the same thing with my flowers. Those three floral blocks were totally designed for hand piecing. Lol.. You are getting close...
