Last Friday was my birthday, so yesterday I took a ride to Pennington Quilt Works to use my 20% off birthday coupon which expires at the end of June. I had a collection of FQ's and had nothing to go with them. Using my coupon I picked up 2 one yard pieces...the polka dots and one of the florals, and 3 yards of a cream background fabric to go with them. The whole collection is now washed (not ironed as you can see in the photo!) and waiting for inspiration to strike.
I also made a few more blocks for my sampler quilt. I guess this wouldn't fit into Finn's orphan train challenge since I'm making all these blocks new for the quilt. I do have some orphans laying around, I'm hoping to collect them and make something of them this summer.
Back to the machine or I'll never get anything done this summer! :o)

The pile of red fabrics look very inviting. It will be fun to see what you decide to do with them once inspiration strikes. The other blocks are lovely, too. Colors are very soft and feminine.
Hope the birthday was fun - apparently there are a lot of us June babies blogging.
Happy belated birthday! Love your sampler blocks (still) and those red fabrics. Can't wait to see what you come up with for them!
Love those reds - you can never have too many *s*
Those fabrics look great and also love the quilt blocks
