What's In Your Scrap-Basket?

If you have a scrap basket...

then I am sure you have one or two of Kim Brackett's books!

Magnolia Bay Quilts is Kim's blog and I invite you to go over 

to see what her newest and best book yet is all about!

I have a few of my favorites from Scrap-Basket Bounty

 here...

starting with the cover quilt!

This one really sends me over the moon!

Now, I have to say that Kim's instructions 

for the blocks in this book

are all about taking one block and rotating it and

getting different designs when you do that!

So, the 16 quilts you see in the book offer 2 additional

arrangements and 3 different

settings... and a bounty of options!

It's called Honeysuckle!

I think the movement and the colors are wonderful.

Here is another favorite... Dazel! 

and this one is such a fun rail fence style block with a plus!!!

and this is Falling Stars... I am making a wish right now!

I think this is my most favorite "favorite"!

Her book is published by Martingale Publishing and you 

can also find it at Amazon.

I really think Kim is  the go-to person for

Scrap intervention!

Really.

Revisiting Autumn

One of the answers I have 

for a "security question" 

is FALL.

The question is...

"what is your favorite color"?

Don't you agree?

Last year I teamed up with Thelma...

Cupcake n' Daisies

to make a "Fallville" version of Summerville...

which we had both made before.

I think Thelma even made a Holiday version of the pattern too.

We had a lot of fun with the planning of the quilts...

but now 

there is an actual

 pattern for making them 

and

you don't have to over

 think the whole thing!

I used my scraps left over from the quilt 

below to make this one!

This is the Winterville version...

it's really cute. I love those trees and snowflakes!

Another quilt I made a year or so ago...

 and is still in the queue

is another 

Thimble Blossoms pattern 

from 

Camille's Fresh Vintage book...

which I think everyone should have on their bookshelf!

This year I have worked

 on a couple of neglected 

fall projects from last year...

Figgy pumpkins and the one below is

from Lori Holt's Farm Girl Vintage book and

the crow was an add on pattern.

I just got Lucy back from 

my Long Arm Quilter...

and I am preparing the

 binding for it now...

here is a little peek of it.

I hope to get the binding on over the weekend...

and then I will show a full picture of the quilt!

I am so ready for fall... it remains in the 90's 

here in my area. 

I think I can slip in maybe one more small seasonal 

project  before I start thinking about ...

dare I say it?

Christmas!
