Bonnie has posted the final step in the Orange Crush Mystery Quilt. I have one of mine partially laid out on the design wall. I am still not too sure about these quilts. I may not do the scrappy borders. I may take the lazy way out and just add a resting strip and a non-pieced border. That option is sounding better by the minute.
This is the baby quilt that I mentioned in my last post. I like how the inside turned out. It is a package of charm squares from Moda's Simplicity. The border is from my stash. I may pull it off and buy some of Simplicity yardage instead to finish the quilt. It is OK this way, but I think it could be a lot better. Can you tell that I am not liking anything today?
I am heading out in the morning with a couple of girlfriends for a weekend in Prescott, AZ, away from the heat. Maybe that will make me less grumpy. There is a quilt show there this weekend, although we are just going to get away from the DHs and DDs and DSs. I will try to remember to take some pics along the way. We will see if we make it to the quilt show.
Now I am off to DS baseball game.

I like your star block just as much as the 'correct' version. I'm not sure about the final OC either - rather too busy and bright for me - and the spinning stars get lost. I'm going to be playing with making two separate quilts and putting in some plainer blocks.
Hi I have been visiting your blogg today via Quiltinggallery. I have just submited today so i thought it would be fun to see who joined there togehter with me.
I realy loved the way you have made the block and it will be fun to see how this quilt turns out!
Take care and I wish you happy quilting...
I found you today by way of Quilt Gallery. I love your quilts. It's also nice to see that other's have creative opportunities. Sometimes I think I'm the only one that does stuff like that.
I really like the quilt you made from Moda's Simplicity. It is one of my favourite fabric ranges at the moment. Hope you enjoy your weekend away. Happy stitching.
Hello, I am new here. I found you on Quiltinggallery. I love your work you make beautiful quilts. I hope you will leave the grumpy feelings behind when you turn back home.
Where are your OC step 5's? Mine aren't finished yet, next week after our current company leaves. I like the zig-zag border idea someone mentioned & I think I want to set my blocks on the straight.

Wonderful baby quilt - someone will just love it.
I like your brights in the OC - very different from others - and fun!

the simplicity quilt is fabulous...I really like the stacked coins look a lot! I think that may be one of my next quilts.
