Scraps or Trash?

A mountain of scraps or is it trash?

BOM bloggers

This block reminds me of a color blind test.

Are you following along with the bloggers BOM?  This months block is really fun but I did not use enough contrast.
Should I make another or just leave well enough alone?  Happy Sewing,

Visiting Seattle

Visiting Nifty in Seattle

Yo-yo's from Nifty!

A whole big bag full...hundreds and hundreds!

Orphan blocks just being arranged into a Christmas quilt.

Look at these beautiful yo-yo's Nifty gave me!  Yes, she said "take them away I don't want them anymore"!
I was thrilled with the gift and have a few ideas in mind for them.

When I go on business trips with my DH I love to go and look at the sights, take lots of pictures and enjoy a new city.

I really enjoyed Seattle but I have to say my time with Nifty was really the highlight of the trip! Go see her quilt top all pieced at .Nifty's blog :0).
