Friday Night With Friends

Tonight I decided to join the "Friday Night With Friends"
Since I am sewing or stitching every Friday night anyways
I thought it would be fun to play along.
I worked on the 12 blocks I am making for 
the Sandy Quilt Block Drive.
Leave it to me to wait until the last minute.....sheesh.
Anywhoooo.....
I have the 12 blocks done except for the final
2" strips around the outside.
It's late and I'm tired
so I'll finish them tomorrow or Monday.
for these blocks.
I realize that I'm not very good at "random".
I used scraps and tried my very best to 
make these blocks super scrappy,
but I just have a super hard time 
trying not to be all match-y match-y.
Either way, I am hoping that whoever
ends up with this quilt,
that they will feel the love and prayers
that are going into it.
I can't imagine how hard it is to lose
your home and everything in it.

  7. Put your fabrics in a paper bag, close your eyes and pull out a piece. If it's the same as the previous piece, pick another one. If not, use it! Random won't always mean equally spaced colour and prints, but that's the beauty of it - especially when it's combined with wonky! :D

  11. It IS hard when you are a Matchy-Matchy Gal to suddenly GoScrappy, but I think you did a great job, and the recipient of the quilt will too.
