i had pulled this bundle of basic neutrals for two background pieces, the quilt and a runner.






it seemed to take no time at all to press and cut.

and lay them out in some sort of order ... then i stashed the whole works for this was the hard part.

and did the same thing [well, press and cut] for what will be a lavender blue hexie top. i had the pieces prepped and cut in record time. well, the purple part anyway; the blue part is still stacked, gathered and may be gathering dust before i get around to reducing it to workable size






the fed ex man just brought me a little charm pack of kona solids, my prize won from stashbook's blog and sent from her so nice sponsor, c&t publishing! goodies! i may pair them up with another charm pack and make a little disappearing nine patch quilt.
