Quilt-a-long continues.

The Splendid Sampler is now on its way to be a finished top. Sorted all the blocks, only finished 46? Then when it was all laid out,  realized it has a lot of red fabric which just stood out.
Looked at the leftover fat quarter's and decided to cut blocks out of those fabrics. It will reduce what would have been more scraps?  Instead it will be used as blocks.
The blocks already made will be squared today, to 6.5 inches. They will be placed in rows and sewn together.  Added the leftover strips from a bargello around the top.  This top will need a border next to these strips.
This flimsy will go in the pile of tops to be quilted. I have painted the house over the past five years, just one more room to paint.  Now my quilting frame can be set up for me to start hand quilting the tops. The frame is still packed up, from our last move, over 5 years ago.  It will be good to get it out and use it again.
 Tidied all the leftover fabric from 365 challenge quilt, squares, triangles and strips in different sizes.
Ready to use, also have triangle squares already sewn together, which will be used in a future project.
Diane's Christmas Garden is coming along well. She is already past the halfway mark. This one was started on the 28th of November. 
The red work blocks from Judy, was also squared and turned into a small quilt top.  It will need a border fabric as well. It is at the top of this post!
