This may look like the same photo that I shared in my last post, but it isn't. If you look closely, you'll see something has been added.
AQS.com has started a bird a day for thirty days sewalong and I jumped right in feet first. Hey, it'll use up more scrap fabrics AND I won't have to figure out a 'special' quilting design for all those red blocks.
BUT it also means that it's going to be at least a month before this quilt top will be finished. Two rows have been sewn together, but that was before the latest addition...and it will be much easier if I don't sew all the rows together before doing the appliques. Oh, and I stitched up another row... so the top is now 9 rows longs... and I have enough red squares cut out for a 10th row if I feel like making another 4 scrappy blocks, which I might as well do since the red blocks are the last of what I cut on Monday
Yesterday, I also added another figure to the Nine Patch Family Reunion; guess I didn't take a pic. Had to stop working on it to go pick up a prescription for hubby and didn't go back to it once I got back home. There are pieces traced onto paper back fusible for the next two figures... only a total of four more to go. I really want to get it done so that it can be loaded onto Mo'e once I get the current one off; I just don't feel like actually doing it. It's fine once I get started - it's getting started that I keep stalling on.... that's how I ended up with that scrappy block top that's now residing on my design wall - I gave in to the 'squirrel' instead of keeping focused on the project right in front of me.
I guess I'd better quit talking about it and get back to doing it.... after I finish reading others' blogs and checked my email again. ... Oh yeah! and I've got to see if today's bird is available yet. :)
take care.....

I love those two quilts you took to the garden for photos. Beautiful work. Looks like you have lots of ways to use up your scraps. I've been trying to do that since Christmas...month 4 and I'm finally seeing that kind of happen. LOL
