Quilt in a Day Forums

I am working on the claudia's block of the month. It started last October and I am just this month finding the time to begin.It's a scrap quilt and it's causing me some problems. I have always matched my fabrics. This is a challenge for me as I am using what I have, without purchasing more fabrics and trying to make it scrappy. I am about ready to put the light scraps in one bag and the darker ones in another and whatever I pull out is what I must use in that block. Any suggestions how to make this easier?

KHO...are you doing the Simple Scrappy Treasures?
If so, I am doing it also along with a couple of friends. This is my first scrappy and I opted to use my Kansas Troubles fqs for it; and am so happy with the results.
My friend did recommend putting in the bags, as you mentioned. She says that is the best way to do a scrappy.
Just stop worrying and have fun with it!
Happy Quilting,
Nancy

I was able to cross one more item off my long list of UFS's yesterday! I forgot that I had finished the chicken potholders. I made 4. I'm only going to keep one. The others will be finding new homes shortly - daughters (2) and my granny. My granny is 81 years old and just moved into her own apartment! I can't get over that. She's been living with my aunt in Wisconsin for the last 3-4 yrs after moving from here in FL! I can't get over that one either! lol

I'll post pics shortly.

Nice quilts, knitnoid!

I finished one of my UFO's: a quilted tote bag for my mom using a charm pack. I just posted the pic in the photo section. I should get that in the mail to her today. She knows I'm making her a tote bag, but she has no idea the color or fabrics. I'm excited to hear what she thinks when she gets it. She better like it!

KHO, I am also doing the Claudia's BOM and the way I am handling it is, I am using off white tone-on tones for all fabric designated "light" and then it is easier to use the various fabrics I have for the "darks." The charm squares have been great for this. It is very scrappy. BTW, I am proud to say, I am caught up through March!

Just got back from my MIL's. I go out there on Sundays after church to make her lunch and to use her sewing machine (Mine doesn't do buttonholes and she got a new one for Christmas that has a quilting foot too! haha). I quilted my cousin's baby quilt and just have to put the binding on it then it will be finished and off my UFO list! wooohooooo!


IT'S DONE!!!! I'm so excited!

Oh, Jan! Congratulations! Can you send a picture?

I posted my pics under the topic about stitching in the ditch, but it came out as a red x. Can anyone see the pic? or is it just me?

I got a redx when I posted under the stitch in a ditch topic so I thought I'd try reposting here.

Great! Another red x......I give up!
