Mystery quilt blocks 1-5

Hello All,

We have been having the wackiest weather here. A few weekends ago we had 15" of snow on the ground. Then we had 3 or 4 days of warm sun, getting up near 60. Now we are back to cold/wet. We have a dusting of snow on the ground today with cold temps. And tomorrow we are going back to sunny.... I guess that means it's Spring :)

Here are my blocks 1 thru 5 of the Laundry Basket mystery quilt.

Blocks 2 and 3 are the same pattern. Edyta just suggested changing the light and blue fabrics for other light and blue, but I just did mine all the same.

Then I decided to add in the fun green polka dot. I am not much of a polka dot fan, but when the Simply Color line from V & CO came out, I thought those polka dots were so fun (I really love the whole line!). So I bought a yard of it, and it stayed in my stash ever since (the line came out in 2012)! 

It just happens to match the other green in my blocks just perfectly :)

You all take care out there, have a great day.

Scrappy Irish stars top

Hello All,

The summer here has just been so lovely, I can't get over it. We've had very few days over 90 degrees, and none over 95, and that is almost unheard of! I feel very blessed to have such great weather this year. I pray that it keeps the fire danger down. August/Sept are the two worst months for fire in California.

I've finished piecing my scrappy Irish stars! The pattern is at Wedding Dress Blues. I debated about putting a border on it, but I don't think I will. It is at 70x80 right now. I think a border might detract from it's scrappy goodness.

This quilt has some of my very favorite fabrics in it. The background for the stars is from Sweet waters Sunkissed collection, which is my all time favorite :)

There's some V& Co fabrics (that bright orange loveliness). And some Maywood (the roses). 

That cute kitty is Here Kitty Kitty fabrics I got with the kit for this quilt.

Love those gray butterflies too... so many great collections here :)

This quilt to will go put away for now. I have a few other quilts I want to get quilted up before I tackle this one.

Have a great day all!
