| Blackberry Jam |
And this...

| Corn Salsa |
But I have managed to squeak in some late (and I mean laaaaate) night time to do this...
With inspiration from this book. I pulled all my green, blue and grey scraps and organized them in small, medium and large piles.
Then I trimmed and trimmed AND trimmed...
And turned those scraps into these...
Which, by the way, was very serene and relaxing sooo late in the quiet night.
Then I played...
And played...
And played...
Don' you just love that moment when you go - OH YA! That's the one...
Now to baste and quilt this baby. Yay!!!
Hope you are all having lots of fun making your makes lately, I sure am enjoying cruising your blogs and catching up!!!
Linking up with WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced.

ReplyDeletehomemade jam is the best!! Love the colors of your quilt sand the layout!!
ReplyDeleteGiving you a 'YAY' for your gorgeous quilt, Lisa! Looks as if you have had oodles of fun playing!!
ReplyDeleteThat book is AMAZING and is one of my favorites. I want to make all the quilts from it, but the one I've managed so far--the Sunday Morning Quilt--also felt like therapy. It's hard to describe how it makes you feel to turn a pile of scraps into something gorgeous, without having to sweat bullets while making the pattern, huh?
ReplyDeleteWish I had homemade jam. :) One of these summers I MUST learn to can.
I love the colors in this quilt! So lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt is going to be a fabulous quilt. I love the colors (the lime green with the blues and grey looks fantastic). And homemade jam and salsa... yum!!
ReplyDeleteHow awesome! Your quilt is gorgeous. And I LOVE that moment when it comes together and you think "This is it!"
ReplyDeleteI love the strip quilt! I like how you spaced the sashing and the big super strips in the middle.
