And so it continues...

Monday night Ramona gave me an envelope of tribbles that she no longer wanted.  Her only request was that I return the papers.  Here they are.

I sorted them out.

They were great vintage prints.  What I find interesting is that so many of the new fabrics contain vintage designs so these fit right in.  I couldn't sleep, so I stitched a few of them together and added them to my wall.

Can you spot them - where Waldo?  See how well they work.  There were 2 remaining panels to fill in so now I'm done with the center part of the quilt.  It's 64x64 and I want to make it a full or queen, so I spent the last 2 days planning borders.  One of the border will be filled with tribbles, so I have many more to make.  I can practically make them in my sleep!   My plan was to hand quilt it, but the thought of that stresses me out right now so I'll decide on the quilting later.

At the meeting Monday night we exchanged goodies from the scrap swap.  My partner said she loves coffee and warm browns.  Her baggie of scraps contained 3 or 4 coffee prints and lot of browns.  As you can see, I love color but I'm up for any challenge.

I fussy cut the cups of coffee and hand appliqued everything to chocolate brown Kona (we were allowed to add one fabric).  The back was pieced from 2 large dark brown scraps.  I took the photo in a hurry, so it's hard to see the machine quilting which I did over and around the tribbles to give the pillow extra strength.  The little zipper pouch was made from leftovers.  What fun!
