HAPPY EASTER

Happy Easter from not so sunny Florida.


Enough said.


I spent some time over the past 2 weeks catching up on projects. These 2 houses are the March block for Quilt Doodles BOM.  My goal this year is to keep up.  This is part 2 of #4 of  Q1 - FAL  So far so good.


Next up was to start on my Hand2Hand2016 quilts.  I hope to finish 1 for each of this years 3 organizations by end of May. 


Routing through my many boxes of "quilt stuff" I stumbled across a zip lock bag containging these goodies.  After a lot of thought on the subject I remembered what and where this baggie came from. Several years ago I tripped over a pattern on Moda Bake shop called Lawn Chair Quilts. The pattern called for 2 Jelly Rolls, one in prints and one in white.  The end result was 2, 54 x 75 inch tops. One of my quilt buddies and I split a Jelly Roll and I cut my own white strips, I put my parts in a baggie and there they have sat for several years.



That is until this week. I now have my 2nd H2H 2016 top done.   It really was easy.  I did the bulk of it Friday Night and Saturday. Saturday while marathon watching NCIS.

Happy Easter, Happy Spring.

  1. Love the lawn chair quilt top. Usually when I run across something like that I have not idea what I had in mind.

  3. Fantastic quilts being made at your house! I like that lawn chair quilt too. I'm pretty sure I have it figured out...that really would be easy and work out pretty quickly. And it looks great. Love your colors.

  4. The irony of making a lawn chair quilt on a weekend when a lawn chair might not be usable is not lost on me. ;^) But it looks fresh and cheerful and will likely be well loved. Good for you for recalling what that fabric was for and making it happen!
