Design wall update....

I have a lot of projects going on at once...I know!  What else is new!

For years I've wanted a French Prov. style quilt for my kitchen wall and I am now close to having it!  I bought the charm packs at the North Carolina Quilt Symposium in May, put it on the design wall in June and stitched them together in July....if all goes according to plan I'll put the border on in August and quilt it in September!
border fabric for my "French" quilt....
I've also started my neutral quilt using a pattern in Pat Wys book.  My interpretation of neutral is a bit broader than hers!

Anything that looks like denim is a neutral....and I included some yellow just to keep it interesting..

I am also working on a quilt for the Orlando Modern Quilt Guild to give to those in their community effected by the shooting.  Several members of my local guild made blocks and am almost finished sewing them into a top!

And finally, I continue to work on blocks for "The Splendid Sampler" led by Pat Sloan.  I am way behind but I'm ok with that.  In the end I guess I'll make about half the blocks...it is still fun!  I'm using only scraps for this project...not making much of a dent in the scrap bags but at least I'm trying!

Your French quilt will be a happy thing for your kitchen. What lovely colors!
I got a chuckle from your definition of neutral. Hey, whatever works for you, right?

Lots of fabric joy in your quilting paradise! Our MQG members were assembling a top for Orlando last night at guild.

i share your pain...i've made several things out of my scrap basket and instead of dwindling, they now overflow the basket....doesn't seem right at all...LOL

It is wonderful and generous for you and your quilty friends to make blocks/quilts to donate for such a needy cause.

I like all your projects in progress. Lots of fun watching the process, and then the finish.
