Quilt! Quilt! Quilt!

 This past weekend some of my friends and I enjoyed
 a two day sewing frenzy.

 This is the quilt I worked on. It is ready to be quilted.

Many little scrap pieces make up the rooster. 
 Steam a Seam 2 was my big buddy.  It will be sold at the Virginia Mennonite Relief Sale the first Saturday in October.

Scrappy Pinwheels is a new e-pattern.  You can order it
 and receive it within 24 hours. Go to
 Delightful Piecing and scroll down to about the bottom of the page.  It is a $4.00 e-pattern.

There are no "Y" seams and you only need to piece 
one triangle that has two pieces. Amazingly Simple!


I am using up more scraps.
I have a big box of 2 1/4" squares of fabric.  It is 
organized by stacks of color.
 

To get the quilt above I pieced 25 squares of a color 
shading from light to dark from corner to corner.  Then appliqued grey pedals on each block, then sewed the blocks together.
