Brown Stuff
has been the theme in my sewing room this month. I moved along a few brown UFOs and scraps but I have not managed to make a molehill yet out of that mountain of brown scraps. But I am ending the month with three brown comfort quilts in process so I am headed in the right direction. This month I used mostly bits and pieces of brown scraps already cut to a certain width to mke blocks and have not cut into many scrap chunks yet.

This week was definitely a NOT FINISHED week.
Much progress though.
ReplyDeleteSide by side pics of before/after the brown mountain? ;-)
Great use of the scraps. Patchwork Stars and Pavement blocks are winners.
ReplyDeleteLove your brown pavement blocks--I am working on finishing up my pavement blocks; mine are pink, green and yellow. A terrifying triad of colors to try to put together!!!:000
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend is a good one. hugs, Julierose
I think you have done wonderfully well working on your "brown stuff" this month.
ReplyDeleteYou got three comfort quilts out of your browns in one month? It is more than I can out in three months! And you got a good start on the 18-Patch project. Great job, Cathy! Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely collection of neutral blocks, Cathy!
ReplyDeleteYour 18 patches are mesmerizing and the star blocks will work up fast. You are doing 100% better than I am. As Elle mentioned, it would be fun to see before and after photos of the color mountains. I am looking forward to seeing what you do in July.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm picturing you scaling a chocolate mountain. Probably with marshmallow clouds.
ReplyDeleteI like earth tones, so this group is right up my alley. One of these days, I hope to grow up to be like you in patchwork quilting! LOL
ReplyDeleteI think your going it the right direction!! love all those browns you are using . you have made some very fun quilts and amazing blocks so far!
