Progress on the flags

I have been doing secret flag sewing at night.  Well, not exactly secret...you all know about it!!  But the recipient of the quilt does not.  I am loving working with this fabric palette!

A resident artist lives in our neighborhood.  Every once in a while, she will put a sidewalk chalk drawing out for us children; me included!  I love her work.

On the free table at guild was this lovely cotton blossom applique.  It came home with me.

As did this pretty applique piece!!

These are leader ender blocks, for a baby quilt.  Hurrah for quick finishes!!

Another baby quilt...brights for a baby girl, unborn as of yet...and unknown of, too!!  It is fun to have quilts on hand to gift!

Hope you are having a wonderful day!!

Excitement abounds!!!!!!!

Lucky is very helpful!!  He wanted to be first, and indeed, he is first.

I embarked on a project to organize all of my scraps into colors, and fold them, if large enough to be folded, into a dresser.  I got a NEW dresser!!!  Odd to think I have never had a brand new dresser, but I recently got one for my birthday.  I am using it to store almost all of my fabrics.  Above are my yellows and teals.

Oranges and purples!!  I put a file folder in-between the colors.  

Scraps that were too small to be folded were placed into bags, by color.  This will be perfect for Rainbow quilts, and I have so many quilts planned to use these!!! 

I have touched almost every fabric I own.  Every gifted scrap and piece of lovely quilting goodness!!! It was so much fun!!  And now I have blacks, grays, oranges, teals, pinks, blue, reds and greens all separate and ready to go.  I emptied several small bins, which were getting heavier as time is going on.  Hurrah!!

Now this does not include my 1930's fabrics, of which I have a small bin.  Nor my plaids, nor my reproduction fabrics, of which I have a bin of those too.  But!!!  This is vast majority of everything I own, at my fingertips for use!!

Whoop!!

I found a few fabrics that were downright unsuitable, due to being polyester double knit or just downright ugly.  Out they went.

I got going on pumpkins, due to orange pumpkin fabrics gifted from a friend.  I will have to work on a setting.

These are my 6 inch rainbow blocks so far this year.

My flags, also a squirrel that took me off on a chase!

 And here are my hexie blocks so far for this year.  Nice to work on in the car.

So, I am all excited about the fabric storage dresser!!!  I have three empty drawers, still.
