RSC15 week 38

HOORAY FOR ORANGE

This week I finally got a chance to do my balloon blocks in orange.  Some fun pieces showed up in my stash, including a batik with random cicles which showed up out of the blue.  So I have balloons inside of balloons.


Actually I did very little quilting this week,  just could not get motivated.  Maybe i should blame that on the humid weather.  We had about three solid hours of lightening last night and a ton of rain.  

    However, I did finally get back on track with my Project Linus girl quilt.  I am not quilting it to the fleece backing, just machine tacking in each block.  It is due to be turned in next month when our quilt group has our semiannual charity collection.  I love making these quilts for needy kids.


I link up with RSC15 at superscrappy.blogspot.com, Sew Cute Tuesday at blossomheartquilts.com and Throwback Thursday at kristaquilts.blogspot.com.   Come along and enjoy some great projects.

    Your oranges definitely match the celebration of the balloons. Meanwhile, I'm off to deliver a kitten to LA Paylor.

    Glad you made some progress this week, even if sewing time was not high on the agenda. Even little bits of time add up eventually.

    Here's hoping the hot, humid days are nearly done and your quilting mojo is returned to you in the coming weeks!!

    Your collection of balloon blocks must be quite considerable now, I'm looking forward to seeing these all put together.

    Happy balloons! It's nice to be able to just tack or tie a quilt once in a while, isn't it? I can't/won't work with fleece but I bet it makes for wonderfully cuddly quilts.
