I shouldn't have

but I did anyway!  Last night at the Blue Mountain Quilters Guild meeting I decided to join in the fun of a Round Robin.  I've done a Row robin before, but not a "Round".  Naturally, I have just tons of time to do this (can't you just hear the sarcasm dripping off my words?), but that's not stopped me before, nor did it stop me this time!

In fact, I got up today and after perusing a few ideas on line and a trip to my LQS, The Needle and I, inspiration! (Yes, yes, I know, I've got a honking big quilt to get finished, but I needed a break, okay?)  Now, I didn't buy any new fabric at the store, as I have lots of that and I'm challenging myself to use what I've got for this one, but I did buy a new book on scrap quilts.  "All-Time Favorite Scrap Quilts from That Patchwork Place". Lots of ideas churning around!

I started pulling fabrics.

I decided to go blues and greens

And, because I had nothing else to do today, I made my block!  Yup, I am officially way ahead for this Round Robin - lets see how long that will last!

hmmm - could have done with more value contrast

Then, just because I still needed something to do today, I decided to try some sun-printing, after being thoroughly impressed and inspired by Gina's blog about it the other day.  Really easy to do, and I'm please with this first attempt - I will be doing this again - I already have a few ideas brewing, maybe tomorrow will see some more fabric printed.  Just have to find more"resist" items.

I used coins and a magnet for my resist items

Oh, and the wedding quilt?  It wasn't completely ignored - I did finish all my straight line  quilting in the sashing and I'm starting to play with some FMQ in the blocks - here's my first thought - haven't decided if this is the way I'll go yet or not - any thoughts?

interlocking boxes.  1 almost done, 87 more to go!

Happy quilting!
