Stash Report #2

Click here to read more about this week's baby quilt....

I bought a bunch of Tula Pink scraps ( pieces are less than a fat quarter) on etsy. Not sure how to count the scrappy bits so I am going to estimate that it all came to about 10 yards.

Most pieces are are smaller, odd shaped scraps less than a fat 8th...

These blocks from Tula Pink's City Blocks book are so fun to make - easy too. I am also using some of my fabrics in making these blocks. Fussy cutting  really makes the blocks pop.

Not sure which layout I will use. I do want this quilt to be at least 100 inches square and there is only one layout in the book for a quilt that size. If I decide on a different layout I will need to make more blocks.

Progress on our house....Tuesday afternoon....

Wednesday morning...

Done in less than 24 hours. We went with Superior Walls for the basement - their bid was only 16% higher than using other type of materials.  Pretty exciting. Next step is to order the floor  beams and since that is a custom order it can take up to three weeks. Bill decided to add a basement to the house rather than build a separate shop.

Did I ever tell you that I have only been to this property once, when we signed the papers to buy it. I take care of my mother and it is hard for me to get away  for extended periods. The new house is 2.5 hours away.

In the first few pictures you can see our 8 acre spring fed pond. It has bass, blue gill and catfish. We will be ordering some minnows this spring.

I used Kim Brackett's pattern Lake Cabin to make this QOV.... I made it one row longer and ran out of background fabric so I didn't add the borders.

It is hard to see that there are yellow stars as the cornerstones, maybe I should have used white instead of the yellow.  The beige has red and blue dots on it.

I also made two pillow cases for the QOVs -
