Where did Friday go??

Wherever it was, Thursday and the rest of the weekend appears to have gone with it.  No sewing Th or Fr and very little was done on Saturday because Buddy and I ran errands... went to credit union, post office drop box and a quick stop at Walmart.

I'm getting a little further ahead on the BB (Booth Bros) quilt tops...

 They are mainly a gospel group, but sometimes they stick some comedy in... I found this one on youtube and just had to make a hat block for it...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1uUic-qkm4

 Here are the first two blocks for the second of the three quilts...

 Sweet Dreams before and after I added borders so that it would be large enough.

Remember how I said they add comedy on occasion - well, part of this is funny but it's mostly about Michael's wife testimony.  She loved The Monkees when she was a child and wanted to marry someone like Davy Jones - Michael says that he's her Monkee and the group then performs "Daydream Believer"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OeTZ3fpeYrs....   so, here's a Monkee block for his quilt.  I slit the back and stuffed with two layers of batting before stitching around all the letters.... unfortunately, I didn't think to use poly batting.  It's ok, though... not as puffy but still has texture.

 Then, after the Monkees, I tried my hand at making a Jacob's Ladder block... first, I had to resize it so that it would fit with the rest of the blocks - I DID IT!!!  I used math and it worked!!

 The second one wasn't quite so easy... apparently, I couldn't pay attention or look at my figures... I've now got some fabric cut that will probably end up being used for other blocks because I messed them up for this one.

I haven't started on the third quilt top because I wasn't sure what color to use... this one will be for Paul Lancaster, who is in the group but isn't one of the brothers - he's the one with facial hair.  I finally decided that I would use grays.for the main color.  (I'm having to use what I already have here at home except for the backing - my rule-.)  I'm also trying to find something special for one of Paul's blocks... as far as I can tell, he's never done  "Don't Fence Me In" -- and "Daydream Believer" is Michael's.  

OOPS!  I forgot what I was doing.... went over to youtube to see if I could find SOMETHING to use for Paul's block and forgot I hadn't finished my blog.  I think I may have found something... we'll see... 

take care
