A New Kids Class -Possibilities

My Finishing Kids class didn't happen and nobody signed up for the Rubies and Diamonds class.
so it's back to the drawing/Design Boards.
 Thinking of using some Charm Packs to make a Mini/Doll Quilt or something small this time.
I haven't received my NEW Pre-Cuts that I ordered yet.
 I had this stack of Greens just sitting on my Cutting table. 
 UMMMM What can they become?

Let's start with a Basic 5" square and cut a few of each fabric.

With a few stitched seams they can become---
9  Patches

This is my New Start!  
Many Possibilities 
I was just 'clearing' my Cutting table off and got distracted...

A few more Stars in a Time Warp got sewn while I was making 9-Patches

& my Corn and Tomatoes block got done too.
 It's Farm Girl Friday!
I have 2 more Blocks to cut and sew.
 It's week 7 of the Farm Girl Vintage SAL.

Making 'Many' Parts of 'Many' Quilts this week

 I have to show my story board for Guild here with the parts and pieces I demonstrated to make this months' Block Lotto, Card Basket from Quilter's Cache. Click HERE for the pattern. I didn't remember to show the HST method in the Block. I placed the pins to show the direction of stitching on either side of the line.
 The cutting for the quarter-squares I changed from the 5-1/4" square cut twice on the Diagonal to using the Companion Ruler like I showed on Monday's Post.  The pattern shows one of those triangles cut in half and sewn back together.  We'll see how many use the trick I showed them.

 I stayed home all day Tuesday, and sewed more parts of Midnight Flight. There are enough of the Blue corners to make 5 more blocks.  I'm still having fun spinning the 4-patches, they are pretty tiny, but so cute! I think I've got this figured out even though I had to do a bit more 'frogging'. I'm doing the Pinwheels for Cassie's Mariner's Compass quilt as L/E (Leader/Enders).
The Multi-colored 9- patches are done and I found 7 more that were leftovers that Lynn shared from her 9-patch quilt she made for her caregiver. 13 just from my 2.5" tote. I'm about halfway to the 42 I need to make the Sister's Choice like Bonnie's.




 I think I should make a totally PINK one for my Grand-daughter that I found out is 95% sure it's a Girl for J & K. The 2 Big Brothers got to make the call to tell me. They were pretty excited to share the news. Time for MOM and Grandma to go shopping. I have a surprise already made for her when they have a shower.  Maybe I'll give it to K for her Birthday in June...I don't think I can wait til September to show it.  I could even put it in the Walla Walla Fair if I wait.  Choices, choices.

Lastly, My Secret Pal didn't forget me. Cute fabric, a New Author to read, trim and thread socks.
