Busy with my scraps

I am not sure I knew exactly how many scraps I had when I started...but I know I won't run low, lol. I picked this top up at the flea marketp. I heart this quilt top. Very much a scrap quilt, no pattern, just strips. I would love to hand quilt this for me  soon.

Here are a few scraps and bigger pieces. I love the Southwest colors and patterns. I sorted the Christmas into one basket.

     Now the wool needs to be steam pressed and sorted. It's getting to hot to work with it now...  I might wait for fall or at least a cooler day. Did you know Kellie from Don't Look Now also has a mini quilt with pattern in Whip Up Mini Quilts? I am loving this book. Along with all the quilts and patterns, there is a mini bio on the artists along with thier blog spots...so perfect! This book is so awe inspiring. Back to my ironing and sorting.

                                                                   

My book arrived!

I won this fantabulous book on a giveaway on the Victoria's blog 2 days ago. The book came from San Francisco and arrived at my house in Texas this morning. I cannot put this book down! Please go to this publisher for your online business...they are awesome!

Now, to decide what to try first....pics later today of my stripping adventures, Elaine
