String Scrappy Quilt Finished

A couple days ago I told you about finding a bin of string blocks and various fabric strings and really wanting to clear that bin out and use it for something else.

Well, here is the finished quilt top.  It turned out just fine and I think it will make the perfect quilt to go in our camper for those chilly nights or even for picnics!  This quilt top was finished using fabrics from my stash!



And a little close up of the two fabrics from my stash that I used to create this ubberly scrappy quilt!

Antique Shopping our Way to Quilt Market!

I thought today I would share with you some of the photos I took while we were antique shopping our way to Quilt Market last week in Kansas City! Boy did we have fun! We didn't find a whole lot of treasures, but a few cool things were bought to use as props in our booths or decor in our homes.

Without further ado - here are some of the vintage and antique quilts I found in several of the antique malls. Sadly - none of them followed me home...... Enjoy the "eye-candy"!
































































And I leave you with a picture of the modern day, very hip and cool shopping carts in one of the antique malls! Hw cool are these!

Quilt Market Brain

I'm still packing orders from Quilt Market.

I'm still running on a "high" from all the energy at Quilt Market.

I just want to dig in and work on something - ever get like that?

So, this morning while digging around for some 1 1/2" strips to send to a friend, I un-earthed a box of strippy blocks and a bunch of strips I had been saving - really old fabrics, things I don't typically use, but had been saving for some reason or another.  I'll probably never do anything much with all this stuff and I really need the plastic bin all this stuff is stored in for the pile of 2 1/2" strips I've been cutting that have no home yet.

So, here is a layout I have so far....
(please do not judge me on this poor photo quality - cell phone picture - not the best in the world, but you get the idea!)


I have just enough blocks for this layout - which will clear out the finished blocks from this bin of goodies - then I'm going to take all the fabric strips and send them to my Great Aunt in West Virginia to play with.  Works for me!

I'm thinking about using a white on white fabric for the setting.  Thought about black fabric but I do not have enough here in my stash of any one certain black that I'm willing to part with for this quilt.

I just want to sew.  I just want to finish something. So this is next on the list.  Should be easy enough and I should not have to use my poor over-filled brain too much to get it done!

Wish me luck!
