TWO NEW DIRECTIONS

I pulled out last month's FQ's and cut them up for a new table runner.  I was inspired by this pattern from The Fat Quarter Shop's YouTube channel.
Only one 6 1/2" strip of each of the 6 fabrics plus my own background fabric gave me a table runner size!  I will be making several so they can be gifted!
And I couldn't resist putting one row under the needle to see how it would go--and it was very easy!!!
Feeling like I was on a roll, I took out some of the Jelly roll strips and paired them up so I could make a few blocks for the Christmas in July quilt.
I can see this will be another minimum effort for a big result project!  I only stitched/cut two of the paired strips so these will not be all the same ones together in the actual quilt but you get the idea.  This is the free pattern from The Fat Quarter Shop.
And here is a sad tale;  Bill clipped the leg of my raised bed  
of veggies while mowing.
The leg was weakened by rot but still---I didn't give him a medal for 'Seeing who could mow close enough to the bed so he didn't have to trim" award......

  2. That is going to be another stunning quilt. The raised bed though. Very sad. Hopefully the plants will survive.
    Blessings and hugs,

  3. Oh, no.....poor leg. I'm sure he's handy enough to get that all fixed up in no time. The new quilts are so cool. That diamond pattern is something I've never seen before.
