A Little Pink Coming Together for FNSI

I've been slowly getting my Strips & Nachos together. This is a Strip-a-Long with Gundrun Erla from GEDesigns. I must say that I enjoy sewing her patterns so I was ready, willing, and able to jump on board with this project.

All four rows (for a lap-sized quilt) have been sewn together including the end triangles. Last night I set about to getting the sashing strips sewn together and then assembled between the rows. I figured this was a good project to work on for Friday Night Sew-In! I did pretty good right up until I sewed the first two rows to the sashing. UCK! The triangles weren't matching up correctly! This is exactly what happens every time I hurry to throw something together. After unpicking, I carefully pinned making sure things were matching better. Then it was bedtime.

This morning, I sewed two rows with a sashing strip twice. Here's a picture of my progress. Don't the triangles match up nicely?! And again there's a little RSC pink involved!

Once more sashing strip to be sewn down the middle!

This week I finished another block for Red Threads.

I also discovered that the Chubby Charmer that I mailed off for a friend of my daughter's was delivered so I thought I was going to share it with you today. Hmmmm, guess I forgot to take pictures so you'll have to just take my word for it. It was so sweet. I did include this little quilt book that I tucked inside.

With all the storms we've had lately, the bike trail lost another tree. The guys came out and cleaned it up quickly. I thought the remnants looked pretty!

Thought you'd enjoy another Gracie shot!

We managed to squeeze in a lunch date with some family. A delicious BBQ lunch at Bandana's.

It was quite windy that day!

Linking up with all the participants at Friday Night Sew In & Rainbow Scrap Challenge!

Have a great weekend!
