Scrappy Happy Summer

Isn't it funny how we can find time, even on very busy and hot weekends, to work on the fun new projects that are in our heads. I have hardly had a moment to myself the past couple of days, but there was maybe one or two, and I was able to squeeze in a little bit of piecing on my Summer Stash Quilt Challenge that I talked about in my last post. Ulla and I are working on a logo to put in our sidebars, so whoever wants to join us can use the logo too. I'll post about that as soon as we get one figured out. :)

I did not sew one stitch on the dolly underthings..(I promise I will work on those today)..

But look how cute this cut-up denim shirt is looking in the middles! The completed block is 12", and the sashing is going to be what you see around the edges. It is a percale sheet that does not have a matching fitted bottom or pillow cases, so it will also be used as the backing.
These are 3" squares cut from scraps in my stash. Some are Every Iota from the quilt I made for my daughter ..
..and other pieces of this and that. The one in the upper left corner below is a really sweet Japanese lawn.. and the square next to the corner one on the bottom row is from Candace Reiter's Beach Cats and Dogs Collection by "In The Beginning".. the blue, red, white and yellow flowers. I love that one. It must be older, because I can't find a link to the collection anymore.
It is starting to get steamy outdoors, so I got the flower pots watered early, and cut some fresh roses and peonies to bring in the house.. to breath in with delight as I walk by. Or just turn around while I'm sewing and enjoy, with the nice cool little window a/c blowing, which I thank God for every single day it is above 90F degrees. Life is truly very good.
