Like everyone else, I have been deeply moved by the tragic events during the Boston Marathon, and have been wondering what the quilting community would do to help.
It took no time at all for Berene from the VMQG
to come up with a really good plan to make flags.
They measure 6x8, so they are really quick to do.
Check out the Flickr group to see what is being done.

Here are the two I did.....
*********
In my quilting world, I finished the top for Bella's Curves!!!
Yay!!
This is from the Curve It Up QAL, using the Quick Curve ruler.
I used Bella from Lotta Jansdotter, as well as Kona Ochre and Curry.
For the sashing I used Essex yarn dyed linen in Flax, and Kona Steel.
The top measures somewhere around 59"x78"
My plan is to piece a back using the leftover curves and fabrics.
This could take a while!!!
********
I'm working on a table runner using New Leaf, an organic fabric from Daisy Janie Fabrics.
Because I am doing the Lucky Star BOM, I am combining the two projects :-)
I have 3 blocks done, and I am working on the last one....
Yes, sunglasses will be required when sitting at the table with this runner on it!
********
Along the same line, the Saskatoon Modern Quilt Guild challenge due this month is to use 2 randomly picked colours to make "something"
As I picked purple and white, I decided to make hot pads to sort of match my runner.
A sneak peek....
I'm sure I have other things I should be adding to the WIP list, but I've drawn a blank!
So, I'll link up with Freshly Pieced
and with The Needle and Thread Network.
