Here's my helper sorting the yellows:
We also have the reds sorted...I have a pile of fabrics that a friend's mother gave to me. I need to figure out what to make with it. I owe a special couple a wedding quilt and I told them I would make it for them before their 2nd wedding anniversary. They got married 10/20/15. Here's the fabrics. Let me know your ideas!
The dark teal fabric on the bottom left will be the backing. The rest is what I have to work with. One of the patterns is called Organ Mountain Quilt??? which is in New Mexico. Don't know how the fabric made it to Ohio... But I have it now.
No other new projects for this week. I am working on finishing customer quilts one by one!
I got a new chicken this week. I named her Phyllis because of her resemblance to Phyllis Diller. She was the last surviving chicken in her flock. Others were eaten by something. She needed a home so that she could be with other chickens. Well, here she is!
I finished quilting my 2015 BOM Vacation Time -- Mystery Quilt by Pat Sloan.
I made seven blocks for the City Sampler At Your Own Pace QA this month. These are some of the cross blocks. I like the one with the orange and the one with the little blue cross.
I am finishing up a customer's pineapple quilt. Here it is on the frame. I'm quilting it with Birdys.
I'm linking up with Lee at Freshly Pieced today http://www.freshlypieced.com/

I can't wait for the first instructions for Alitare! I love the colors this year.
Your sampler quilt is really nice and I like the prairie point on that quilt.
Funny that you named her Phyllis, hopefully she will keep you entertained, but perhaps not quite as much as Diller!
The teal & greens look pretty, I hope you find inspiration for the new quilt. Perhaps a bit of solid navy for more contrast, something that matches the color in that top piece?
