Several months ago, I received an 'impossible to pass up' offer on a box of Cotton & Steel fat quarters. Course, I knew not what to do with them...just knew that I needed to take advantage of said offer. A churn dash quilt was what I decided on...which I started this week. Certainly not a great time to start a project, but there you have it. I will work on it this week, and then next week will be devoted to getting everything else done that I have planned to get done before we leave on vacation. AND, my niece Jody will be here for a visit before we leave.
These are the fabrics I'm using...
And, here's what I have so far...
I have six blocks completed, with six more almost ready. I was working on them one at a time until it dawned on me that I could work on several at a time...chain-piecing, here I come! The blocks will finish at 12 inches and I am unsure at this point how many I'll make. At least 25, which will make it a nice lap quilt.
I have a secret project I need to start tomorrow. If you never hear another word on it, that will mean I failed abysmally. Hopefully, you'll see the words 'secret project' again within the next week. Keep your fingers crossed! ~grin~
In the meantime, it is almost the weekend. Enjoy the time!
Oh, and I ran across this and wanted to share it with you...
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.". Jeremiah 29:11

That's the fact, Jack! lol! It's kind of like "You're as happy as you make your mind up to be!" :-)
Love those churn dash blocks! Pretty fabrics too! Good luck with your "secret project"!
