A few more finishes...

I spent a chunk of time working on a prototype for a tutorial. It didn't work out exactly the way I wanted it to on the first run, but I think I have the proportions down now. It will be fat quarter friendly! This weekend, I got sunburnt at the Inman Park Festival, caught up on a few Psych episodes I never knew I had missed, and got some lovely fabric chosen for the back of my Cosmic Burst/Precious QAL top. I have yet to piece them. But...I did finish two more quilts!! First, the Prayer Flag Charm quilt: charm done! charm with back Then the Skill Builder #1: Skill Builder#1 done! I've kind of let that project fall by the wayside. I learned a lot. Realized how badly some of these blocks were pieced while I was learning. So...both of these quilts will become picnic/car quilts. One for me and one for the Pirate. He claimed the Prayer Flag one. Not a huge shock as the obnoxious red/coral is much more me. The Traveling Stash arrived! Traveling Stash I have to say, it's a rather mixed lot. There is some Habitat, some Kaffe, some Morrison...There is some country themed Moda. A book or two and some notions. Some vintage fabrics. There is a big piece of Christmas fabric and some seersucker (vintage, I think) that I pondered removing, but they might be someone's bag...so I'm leaving them in. I'd say there is about 2/3 major brand quilt shop quality, and some vintage/Joann's. None of it smells like smoke or anything. I have taken out the City Weekend. (I needed some to add to my supply for a quilt I have planned.) I also took some Kaffe and a scrap of Amy Butler. I've added a magazine/booklet, a charm pack, a few fat quarters, and some yardage. It's a full box. I may have to sit on it to tape it shut. I'll try to take another pic this week with my additions. So, if you'd like to win, please leave me a comment. (This giveaway is limited to the US.) I'll randomly pick someone by Thursday night to mail out Friday or Saturday! There are only a few rules. RULES: Be an active blogger. Post about receiving and the giveaway on your blog in a timely manner. You may take anything you like from the box.
