lazy days

I have a bag of blue scraps at my house, Which I intended to just cut up into squares...
But I started scrapping them together this weekend. I'm not sure what they will become, but, The scrappy happy little blocks are always so fun to make... Way more fun then squares!

I dug out these old blocks, they must have been at least a year and a half ago...(click here)
They are so NOT me, but I am going to play with them and see if I can make them "ME"...

B has a birthday party to go to tomorrow, and she decided at the last minute
she wanted to give her a soft blanket... So we ran to the store and she picked out some Chinese fabric, and some soft black fake fur and we whipped it up for a giftie...
We realized when we got home, the fabrics we bought from two different sellers in our garment sewing neighborhood, had cut them at totally wrong lengths... so i had to piece some other fabrics together to make it all work...
I just finished the binding...Overall,
It was fun to play with some fabrics that were not cotton... I was curious how the Chinese fabric washed up after being quilted... I kind of like it! rather POSh!

Digging around I also found this other little doll quilt I forgot that I had...
It's so 70's! Scrapped together, with love.Otherwise, it's been a lazy, lay around like the dogs, sort of weekend...
Nothing wrong with that!

I especially love the 70's doll-quilt (being a child of the 70's myself)!

You have been very busy. I love to come by and see what you have created. I usually just lurk here, but the rose blocks are so pretty. I was thinking how pretty they would make up in a crazy quilt. Hopefully you can make them you as you said.
