Portfolio enhancements

I have been busy trying to enhance my coin portfolio. I will leave it to you to wonder if I've been mining for bitcoin or whether I got a job. In any case, I decided I liked a straight stripe layout, but that means I needed more yellow blocks in addition to more black border.

And please don't worry that I have a bowing border...the second row of blocks are just jammed up on the design wall.

This morning I went to my quilt guild meeting. My sister wasn't there to moderate me, so I came away with more fabric than I put into the free pile. However, in the scheme of things, this did not even make a dent. Now that I'm making spools in three sizes, I also grabbed up donated strips...they are in the lower left corner.

And these are the four scraps of fabric that were just too ugly to leave behind.


And the Pigs in a Blanket quilt is taking a trip to the Pacific International Quilt Festival in California. 

And the Bunnies are going to go along to chaperone.

    And I hope your piggies and bunnies will have a good time in California. Maybe they'll bring some fish tacos back for Molly and Buddy!

  8. OMG, I can’t believe you’re going to let the bunnies chaperone the pigs! Don’t say I didn’t warn you!! Such cute quilts, though, they do need to get out and be seen. Great loot from your guild meeting. Does your sister read your blog?

  10. But what does Molly say about all this? Is she upset that the pigs and bunnies get to go and she cannot?

    And I think two of the ugly fabrics are beautiful.
