HSTs ETC.

I've been making HSTs day in and day out lately and just finished 40 broken dishes blocks measuring 4 1/2" unfinished.  


Now I will start on 40 more in a different red fabric.

design wall with almost 40 broken dish  blocks underneath my DJ triangles & 1st row.
 In the mean time, I decided to make a couple baby quilts to donate at my quilt guild meeting on Monday.  When I went to a quilt show last month I bought a grab bag for $1.00 and in it was a collection of 6" charm squares.  I put them together into 2 baby quilt tops with borders.


The backings were either free or purchased at a garage sale.


Speaking of garage sales, as many of you know, I love to go to them to see what bargains I can find.  Here's one bargain I found recently - over 2 yards of Timeless Treasures "Paris" fabric for $3.00!  I wonder what I will do with this?


I have an idea, so be sure to come back to see if I get something made soon.

    What are you doing with all of those broken dishes blocks?
    Nice, quick baby quilts. I need to do some of those!
    Maybe you need to go to Paris so that fabric can pretend to be a souvenir. : )

    Ooh lala! Gorgeous find! Great little baby quilts for your guild too. Do they go toward the hospital's layette project or another group?

    The HST's look great, pretty fabric! I love making HST's and they can be used so many ways. I'm anxious to see what you are going to do with them. The baby quilts are so cute. I like the bright happy colors and the fun backing, too. The Paris fabric is very pretty and what a great find! I'll be watching to see what you will make.
