...and bound. Ready for gifting to Kathy.
And here is the design I was tempted to start....
...considering this pile of scraps needed some attention. BUT, instead, I pulled out only the blues and got back to work on my Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
Blue Ridge Beauty. And progress I made! Here are 80 blocks in an 8x10 layout, but I still had units and other scraps laying around, so I kept piecing until it reached a 10x10 layout
My design wall isn't quite large enough to house all the blocks right now (notice the blocks on the left are overlapped??) I'm not a big fan of square quilts, so I will make up 20 more blocks to add to the top/bottom and call it good. That would give me a center measuring roughly 60"x72"; add a border, and it'll be a good throw/snuggler. Some images around the household today:

Whoo Hoo - good job. Your quilts are beautiful!!! - So is that hubby doing the dishes? Total keeper!!
Love the Green Beauty! Great job on it!
I started the Hanging Garden quilt today. I've got the 22 strips cut and will cut the background and borders tomorrow. Making the throw size for hubby in black and whites. Should be fun!
Love your blue quilt, too!

Great quilt, definitely worthy of the new header for your blog. Blue Ridge Beauty is coming along nicely. As long as it isn't going to be square, have you thought about an asymmetrical setting? Nothing drastic, but maybe moving the bulls-eye a bit off the center?
Wow...that green beauty is coming to me?!?!? Yippee!
It's gorgeous!
The Blue Ridge Beauty is awesome! Makes me want to pull my version out of the UFO closet!
LOVE the blue/yellow quilt and love the images from the day!

Beautiful quilts! How much snow is on the ground? We are former Minocqua area residents...
Green Beauty is gorgeous, and I'm loving how the Blue ridge beauty is looking on your design wall.
The Green Beauty turned out lovely!!! Congrats on the finish. And the family looks like they are having a wonderful day.
Enjoy your day off!
Both of the quilts are gorgeous. I love how you are using the scraps but making a traditional-looking quilt. Green is my favorite color, so I can't help but like the other one!
Your Green Beauty is aptly named - wish my name was Kathy!
Great start to the year for the stash reports! And Green Beauty looks awesome!
Kathy is very lucky to own that quilt. It is gorgeous! It sure is hard not to start something isn't it!! I love the Blue Ridge Beauty.
Pictures around your house are great...
Your quilts are breathtaking. Will I ever be able to make something so beautiful?
Ah, more finishes for you! I love the Green Beauty, it's beautiful and your Blue Ridge Beauty is coming along too. You are so productive, I need your vitamins!
