Well, I am just really enjoying clearing out that 2 inch strip and square box! I plan for a full size quilt, so I have lots of sewing ahead of me. I chose one fabric for the cream x blocks, but I think scrappy would be fun. Frankly, I usually do scrappy because I rarely have enough of one fabric to matchy-matchy, LOL! I have made some x-blocks, and am working on 16 patches.
Progress...
And a little more progress! I just used whatever piece was in the pile next.
Today was really fun. My husband said something that he has never said before! He said, "Let's have a day today where we just do whatever we want to, not work!" Usually we have a whole schedule of have to's and should do's... Don't have to ask me twice, LOL! I found my self doing some house stuff, but just 'cause I wanted to....it was kind of freeing, not to be obligated!
Have a great day!

You are making great progress! It will be a lovely quilt!!
Such a great scrap quilt...very fun!
And what a great idea for a wonderful day!
This is going to be a stunning quilt! I just don't understand it when people don't adore scrap quilts - they are so interesting and beautiful to me!
Great idea for the day! Yay, hubby!
Lovin' this scrappy beauty!
I love the blocks, I like the effect it has.
Great thinking your husband...I like those kind of days.
Tolle Blöcke. Der Quilt wird toll.

I love days like that!
I have a pattern for this quilt in my "soon" pile, but it wasn't this scrappy. I do love the scrappiness of this one.
I love this Julie - it is working out really well. Maybe I can start that one next month - by which time you will be finished I know!
Thanks for sharing your progress on this quilt. I love scrappy, but I always think it helps to have something consistent, like your x's, to pull it all together.
You make the best progress on quilts and blocks. It just amazes me.
Great X blocks! I love "do whatever you want" days!!! :)
I love scrappy quilts and your's is going to be beautiful. I hope that you don't mind if I copy that for my next quilt, or put it on my to-do list. Thanks for sharing and enjoy your 'do whatever you want day'.

Love seeing the progress on this quilt. I have some pairs of squares in a box I have been waiting to use up. This would be the perfect project.
Your quilt is fabulous! How fun to have a "real" day off!!!!
Your quilt is fabulous! How fun to have a "real" day off!!!!
Sounds like a great way to spend the day! As always, I love your scrappy quilts!
Love the quilt! I am going to start it in 2-1/2" squares, as that is what I have an overabundance of, as soon as I finish the 4-patch leader/ender I am working on.
I like these blocks, they look fun to make. Free days are the best.
It looks great, I love scrappy too because I always have enough fabric!
Kewl pattern and great stash buster.
I couldn't see your video, but will view at Missouri Star (Youtube). LOVE her site as well!
