More Green Fun...

So far, eight little trees all in a row........

 Just happened to have on hand this ruler which was the perfect size for the trees...

 I cut the light fabric shapes in the general size of what I was looking for...but much larger to allow for shaping up and cutting..

Whipped them into shape with my straight edge ruler!!  Now, you cannot work this way if you like to have control over the end before the beginning!!   I sew with not much of an idea of where I will be going...that is the fun of it.  This block looked best to me cut at oh, about 7.5 by 11 inches...that will do for now.  Using favorite scraps that I love is still a challenge, but brave me presses on...........

Green Star finished

I had a great time yesterday at Mugg's Sit and Sew...great friends, good food and good sewing.  Not to mention very cool inside and not working outside in 104 degrees.  I finished this orphan block, wonky lap quilt.  Even though the learning curve is not my favorite thing, I am pleased that I tried a different free-motion style in each block.  Sherry is right, once it is washed all the flaws go away and it is just comfy and pretty.

Being "creative" in my photography..ha ha...actually I was braving the heat under the tree..chicken me. 

I am once again off to the grocery store for things I forgot for the bday party tomorrow.  Useless to wish that my kids would take over the party scene for this old lady...but grateful that I have a wonderful family anyway.  And when it is at my house, I do not have to go out in the heat.
