"MADE FABRIC" top

When I first started MAKING FABRIC for these blocks with my saved tiny scraps, 

strips and strings, they were

for pot pads or maybe a table runner or two.....

But then......I thought.......wouldn't they make a great quilt???

The last time I posted on this I had only sewn 16 blocks.  It has now grown into

36 - 8 1/2 inch blocks. The overall measurement is about 48" x 48".

It's decision time.....how big should it be??  Making these blocks with

such small tiny bits and pieces can be like putting a puzzle together and at times

slow...tedious...and time consuming, BUT ohhhh so

worth the effort!

Enjoy the close ups of some of my favorite blocks

Yep.....I know......them there's a lot of seams!

Feeling Better

Hello all my quilty buddies!!!  Just wanted to let you know I'm still alive and kicking, but I must say I have been SICK SICK SICK!!!  Yes, I have a nasty virus I just can't seem to shake.  I thought I was on my way to shaking it until this last weekend, a slight relapse grabbed me, but it seems more manageable and less severe than it was in the last 3 weeks.

Needless to say, my house is a total wreck, laundry has piled up and Goober is missing his daily walks with  his mama.  I'm behind with you all and my email, so please forgive me until I feel in the mood to carry on with my daily routine.

I'm trying to look at the silver lining in all this, I've lost 14 lbs......YIPPEE!

So, I'll leave you with a photo of the progress I've made on my "MADE FABRIC" top I have been working on for a while. 

It's slowly coming along.  I have 16 blocks so far... measuring 8 1/2" each.
