WIP Wednesday 5.23.12

This week I finished the block for this month's FMQ Challenge.  LOVE Leah Day!  She is a great teacher.  Here's my block done in the stippled rr tracks:

It's not very easy to see in this photo.  Plus, the fabric is seer sucker...  But I like it.

I also received the little mini this week for the Modern Mini Round Robin.  Sorry, can't post a pic... don't want to spoil the surprise!


I got all of the tedious stips cut for the Cafe Mocha "ugly" Quilt in the Bag fabric challenge.  I'm so glad that I took the time to cut these with my 1 1/2" strip cutter from Accuquilt.  They are so nice and even.  I only put two rows together.  But they look awesome with all those little pieces.  I think the challenge for me will be mixing the colors as I go.  I'm not going to lay it out on a design wall.  I'm just going to wing it.  I think I have enough different fabrics that they will play okay together no matter how I arrange them.
