The red, white and blue

Thanks again to Bonnie for a great free pattern. This top is entirely from my stash! I can now say that I have no more reds sitting around. I also have several pieces of blue, something will work for a backing. I have decided that I am going to make another patriotic quilt in Bonnie's workshop on the 15th.

This week I need to quilt a baby quilt that my mom pieced for one of my cousins. And Saturday a quilt showed up in the mail from a lady that goes to church with my mom. I am hoping to get it done before we head up there in two weeks. It is only another baby quilt, so it should be do-able.

I fell in love with this quilt this past week. Just what I need - another project! I came up with a plan to make the quilt with my mom - actually we are going to make one for each of us. Then Mom thought maybe we should go ahead and make one for my sister too. I think she just needs to get busy and start quilting with me and Mom. So we will make three blocks out of each fabric and then exchange blocks. This is going to be a stash quilt. I love the colors that Nicole has picked for her version of the quilt.

Have a great week!

The quilts are great! I think you have mis-named your blog - you appear to be anything but disorganized!

I followed a link from Bonnie's blog to yours. I just had to comment on the RWB twist quilt!! That is totally a Quilt of Valor. I download Bonnie's pdf file and added you blog to my favorites so I can come back and view it when I'm ready to make one like it. Wow is all I can say. Thanks, Julia, NE
