Design Wall Monday 10/24

Another Monday...and even closer to the holidays!!

I am trying to clean up some of the mess in my sewing room so I pulled out the pieces to the Steelers quilt I was working on.  I am almost done with it.  Just add the last three rows and the borders.  This is a simple split 9 patch.

Once that is done I can go to the next pile, LOL.  There are many....

Caught in the excitement of the twister ruler, I decided to tackle the huge bin of 30s prints I have in the closet.  This bin has been following me around for many years....at least 12.  I have so many then I want to use them for another pinwheel quilt.  Some pieces are not big enough for 10 inch squares so I am cutting them all into 10, 5, and 2.5 inch squares.  The smallest ones will be for leader and ender quilts.  Who knows how many quilts are waiting to blossom from my bin :)

Be sure to see what the other design walls have to offer today at Judy's blog.

The Steelers quilt has an abstract look to it. Amazing it's made from a simple 9 patch block.

Your Steeler's quilt is fun -- I like their colors! :)

Oooh, I love all the 30s prints in your bin. Have fun finding the bottom of the bin.

So pretty. Red black and white are my favorite colors.

yep, time to use some of those 30's prints. Mine are 15 to 20 years old and look somewhat different from what is coming out now... I make a small quilt or two from them every once and a while. I'm letting mine age a bit more for now.
