Crumb Along 2 Catching up

Got back to my crumbs over the week end.  Remember my first block?

I made mine a rectangle...I went back and re-read the instructions and since Jo's block are 6 inches I decided to make this a 12 inch block...

I liked this more.
then got cracking on my stars and hearts....

Then I made a big heart, which was fine until I got to the last triangle and didn't have a big enough piece....so I added a bit so that I could square it up.....I liked that so much .....I did it to all of the corners.

then I thought again        and wondered if I should make a 12 inch block out of these?

So, that is where I ended today!  My quilt may just turn out to be a wonky crumb sampler!
Now I have resisted the urge to see what everyone else has done.......just so I could develop my own quilt.....but I can't fight it any longer!  I'm off to visit everyone else to see what they have been up to!

The Crazy quilt

Today I've set myself the goal of doing an hour a day on this quilt, as I want it finished by March 2012.  I've decided not to exhibit it at our local group show next weekend.  As part of my $30 a day for 30 days process I had a small find......this is a book I bought for $2 at a community market today.....

This is how I used it .  The flowers took an hour to do.....but then learning anything new takes time!

But he should have lost "the hair"

Ask yourself....do wigs..ever...work?

But polka dots in spring sunshine always do!

had visions of 1975 and took Jackie as her style guide.  I found a cute little Italian outfit at Salvo(tori's) and had the headscarf and big big glasses.......

not to mention the glomesh bag..but I ended up looking like Princess Margret minus Roddy! And not a Greek island in sight.
