Scrappy Saturday

.......linking up with So Scrappy at http://superscrappy.blogspot.com.au/

In the RSC15 a few people are making wonky star blocks.  I thought, no, not for me.....until I saw Jo's finished rainbow quilt here ( scroll down a bit to see her quilt, it's beautiful) and immediately decided I wanted one too.  So that was what I did today........prepared my squares and stitched up a blue wonky star, first block for my own rainbow.  It's 17 and a half inches finished, nice and big and quick to sew.  I used Flutter.Kat's tutorial here.

I stitched a couple more rows of Walter's quilt  but no photos, that's a bit boring.  The rest of the day I spent in the garden, after two days of very heavy rain we had sunshine, so it was a perfect opportunity to get the weeds out and the lawn mown before it all grows another foot or two.  No pictures of that either, weeds are boring too.

That's all tonight, my next post will be on the Grow Your Own Blog party at 2 Bags Full.

'til then...........
