Not much sewing today

If you had these 36 fat quarters on the left and 24 fat eighths on the right, what would you do with them????



We were headed out of town last week, and good ol Jethro, wanted to go with me.



 all stretched out on top of our bag. Crazy cat.

Since we were out of town, I didn't get any sewing done last week. We were out of town car shopping. My 19 year old wanted a new to her car, and she had found one 6 hours away. ( They are a LOT cheaper out of this ripoff town). So off to the in laws we went. We left with intentions of getting a jeep or a Malibu, BUT she ended up getting a Lincoln MkZ, fully loaded! It is a very, very, nice looking car! It is an '08 with only 22,000 miles on it. She even had to borrow $1,700 from Grandpa to get it, because it was that much out of her range. But it is worth every penny and more! We spent 9 hours on Wednesday in 94° heat baking in the sun looking at cars! Only to go get the one she found the night before on our way down. But at least we showed her all her options. So after that ordeal, waking up this morning to it only being 62° in the house, and having to find my slippers, it was a wonderful feeling!!!!!

I did finish the borders for RRCB today. Now I need to spend the next day or so ironing them so I can stitch them all on and get this one sent off in the mail to be quilted. I am soooooooooooo glad this project is almost 100% over. It has almost 5000 pieces in it. Oh my!!!!

I bought a little fabric on line 2 weeks ago when Quilting Daze was having a stash reduction sale. I got these with snowmen on them.
In my normal bright colors.

Then I also got these, which are sooooooooooo not my style., I am way out of my box with these, but that is ok. Haven't a clue what I will use these for either.


Ok back to the original question, what pattern would you use those rainbow colors for?? I am trying to find a good pattern to use those fabrics in. Any suggestions would be great.

Oh I found another challenge

Wow at the rate I am going, I should have my shelves clear by the end of the year. I love a good challenge, especially if I can make something for more than one challenge at a time. Over at Soscrappy she has a Rainbow Scrap Challenge going on that I am joining to help get rid of the scraps I have. Do you need to join a challenge to help you get going, check out the long list of buttons on the right.
