Look What I Got!!

Well so much for stashbusting. Does it seem like everyone is having fabric sales? Everywhere I go there is fabric screaming to be purchased and brought to a new home. I have decided to try and finish some UFOs and bring in some back up players for new UFOs.

I found this yardage on sale for $4 and $5 a yard. Could not pass that up! None of them were purchased with a purpose except the purple and yellow floral on the bottom. I thought maybe that would go with my Quilt-a-Long, but not sure after I brought it home. But don't they all look pretty. Not all together though, at least I don't think so.

And then I saw this great stack of fat quarters.

I just love how they are folded so that it looks different from either side. This is a great LQS that has lots of reproduction, novelties, brights and thirties types of fabric. It is called Zoe's Trunk. They do not have an online shop. These are so fun to look at. I will unwrap them, but not until I have admired them like this for a few weeks. Is anyone else weird like that?? I couldn't bust it open right away if I had to.

I am really anxious for Step 5 of the OC Mystery.

Thats all for now. Have a great day.

Orange Crush Step 3

Well step 3 is done, but for me it was not as easy as it sounded. I had a hard time with these half blocks, don't know why. After a nice round with my seam ripper they are complete. I must have had brain freeze or something.

First are the blocks for the Mystery Quilt with whites and off whites as the lights. Most of my darks are medium to darks with more mediums since this is what I tend to buy.

I have had a few requests to also show the blocks for the pink as light quilt, so here they are as well.

This is for the friend I mentioned who is a cancer survivor. I actually like how these are turning out better. All of the darks in these blocks are brights. I may have to buy some yardage for the next steps, but I am waiting to see what the next step is.

Finally here are some fun pieces I picked up over the weekend. Our local quilt shop had a $4.00 per yard sale. I would have bought more, but I can never make a quick decision under stress and it was definitely crowded and a little stressful. I am loving the orange.

That's it for now. Thanks to everyone who leaves comments.
