pics of today's project Five done - Fifteen to go





 I'm having so much fun digging through my scraps to make blocks from Bonnie K. Hunter's (quiltville.com) "Pineapple" block.  Some of the fabrics look pale pink in the pics but they are actually a pale gold.  The pinwheels are 'bonus' blocks cut from the "pineapple" blocks and, I think they will be used for one or more doll quilts.

I did work on this month's UFO, too.  Tonight, while watching tv, I cut out all the applique' pieces... about 100, I think.  I know it took me over an hour.  I did the math and now know for sure that I need more bias tape for the vines... I probably have only about 1/2 of what I actually need.  Going to dig through the fabric stash again to see if I can find SOMETHING that will work.  If I can't, I'll wait til Thurs. to go to the Hen House to see if I can find something in the sale section that will work.  But first, I'll check my stash.  I've been trying to use only Phyllis' fabrics, but I know I had to sneak in a little of my own muslin/cotton so I guess it won't hurt if I sneak in a little bit more for the vines - going to have to do the same for the quilt backing - I don't have anything of hers that would be big enough.
