Spring Forward

Happy start of Daylight Savings!!!

I can feel spring in the air. This weekend its been in the high 60s -70s in Colorado and I found daffodils (my favorite flower) at the store. I love it. I am done with winter, though I'm sure we'll have another snow shower before too long.

Things have been kind of quiet in my quilting room for the past couple of weeks. Yesterday, I finished sewing the binding on the quilt I made during the Little Miss Sunshine QAL. I haven't taken any pictures of it yet so you'll have to wait until my next post to see pictures. Hopefully, that will happen next week.

I started a new quilt on Monday using the Scrappy Summer Quilt pattern from Cluck Cluck Sew. Still working on it but here's a little preview...

The other thing that I have been working on since my last post is my collection of thrift store sheets. I decided I wanted to spend some time organizing and cutting them up into usable sizes. So I brought some comic book boards and started ... and I only made it through 8 sheets. And this is what I have so far...

 I feel good about what I've done so far but when I look at all the ones still to do it just seems soooo overwhelming. But they look so nice all organized so I'll keep working on it. But I think I'll break it down to one sheet at a time. Some of the sheets I brought to use specifically for the backing so I'm not going to cut those up. 

I must say playing with them has given me a couple of quilting ideas. 

One idea is a half hexagon quilt like this one I found at Southern Charm Quilts.

And the Acadian Trellis quilt made by Kelly at My Quilt Infatuation which you can find here. This is the back of the quilt and love how it looks. I have some sheets that are similar in color which I think would look awesome.

Maybe I'll just have to do both. 

Well, that's it for now. Until next time...
