March 16th - National Quilting Day!

Friday Night Sew-In was a success! 
I got 4 more crumb blocks sewn in the colour of the month for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
These blocks will join the baggie of blocks that I showed on my design wall in January - click here to see them.
And today is National Quilting Day! How wonderful that I get to spend it at a mystery quilting class! Such a sweet treat for me! My quilt guild is hosting a "past presidents mystery" event for the guild. I spent part of last evening cutting up the fabric for the mystery and picked these springy colours to work with. Happy Quilting!

    A quilting class sounds like the perfect way to spend national quilting day. Awesome orange blocks! Those are really going to wake up your finished quilt.

    I just love orange--these blocks glow!
    Those 30s fabrics will be fun to work with and definitely create a Spring mood!

    The oranges in your crumb blocks look so vivid - really nice! A mystery quilt for National Quilting Day sounds perfect. Definitely "spring-y" colors - look forward to seeing the result!
