A few more works-in-progress

 I wanted this picture to look fall-like but

it turned out looking like a wanted poster.

 Getting more Halloween decorations out.

 Hanging over my sewing loft wall are the work-in-progress projects.

 I had a small amount of Batik fabric left so I decided to add prairie points.

 Since I don't do a lot of quilting on my quilts I can sew

on the points then add the back and batting.

 This one is ready for batting and quilting and I'm hoping

to get it done on Thursday.

 I was going to wait and take all my scraps with us on vacation

but decided I wanted to start on this new project now.

A scrappy quilt is simple because all you do is grab two blocks and sew.

No matching required.  I need 100 blocks for the center of

the next quilt I'm making.  The ones that are hanging [above] are

what I have sewn so far.  Lots more to go!

This is not my quilt but this is the one I'm using as my model

using 2-1/2" blocks.  Mine may not turn out exactly like this

but it will be close enough.  This is an excellent quilt to

dwindle down the old stash pile.

The other day I was doing a little blog hopping and stummbled

upon Jera's blog and her post about her new book called

Quilt As-You-Go.  I missed her give-a-way of a signed copy

so I immediately ordered it thru Amazon.  As you know you

just can't order one thing so I ordered the other two books.

They came just in time so I can take them to Lancaster and

buy fabric specifically for the quilts I pick out from the books.
