JUST RANDOM RAMBLINGS

I have a room waaay out back, behind my garage.  I used to use it for quilting.  But, I moved back inside for quilting some years ago.  And, little by little I just used the room for storage.  Oy!  It is a scary place now.  So dusty, I need to just get rid of most of it.  Obviously, I haven't missed anything.  That being  said I recently went out there in search of something and found more UFOs.  I'm sure there are even more out there in various stages.

I found this Blue and Yellow Star Swap from 2003, fortunately in a container.

And, these 42 courthouse steps, also in a covered container. They need to be made into something, maybe even two somethings.

This Log Cabin was a swap my friendship group put together years ago.  We all put in light and dark strips and traded these strips.  This was long before the precuts were around. It is special since there is a bit of each of us in this quilt top.  But, oh my, this was not in a container and was dusty,  I didn't know if I could salvage it.  So, I put it in the washer as is.  Oh yes I did.  Ran it on delicate and dried it outside in the air.  It turned out pretty good. I MUST quilt it next. 

I did finish (or nearly finish) the patriotic banner I have been making.  Just need to bind it and the binding it made.  This is replacing a banner that had been overused and got ruined by the weather. 

I hope you are enjoying your week.

Quilt happy,
