Then I felt compelled to make a pink one anyway so I made the ice cream quilt. It was fun!
These are two quick blankets I made for Project Linus. We have started meeting each month and we pick a color in which to make a blanket for the next month. Well, I got busy and missed pink and purple, so when it came to blue I was still in the mood to make a baby girl blanket, not a boy one. So I used this blue rosebuds and made the first one. I used a strip of flannel as a flange and then trimmed it up to make it raggedy just for interest.

Here are my two latest blocks for the Scrap Quilting Forum quiltalong. I had to add another color for the block on the left; since there is a pale purple dot in the print (this is the print I'm using for the second trio of the blocks I'll be making, and it's the first of this trio), I used a pale purple. I have mixed feelings about it; I feel it stands out too much and might have been better in the position of the pattern fabric. But then again, maybe not. I am trusting the process, as I feel sure it will all look fine once it's done. I'm looking forward to see how I can add in the light purple in future blocks. Here are all six of my Hazel blocks. LOVE them! The fabric next to them is what I plan to use with the blocks, but I am realizing I need a dark fabric for contrast and also something to tie in the cream in the background of the print fabric. Inspiration is not forthcoming, but I have time to let ideas percolate. I also welcome ideas from anyone viewing this! It's hard to see the cream mottled in the background, but it's there. I love this fabric – it's called "An Appointed Time French Flower Natural" by Quilting Treasures.

How did I come up with this name for my blog?I will never be recruited into the Quilting Police – I am not a perfectionist when it comes to quilting. I prefer my quilts done (not that I don't have plenty that are only partly done and many many more in the dream stages). I also like to get a deal on fabric, and I like to use up my fabric efficiently. I created this blog to show the method of my madness... Some of my favorite sites:
