Design Wall Monday/Easy Street Link-up- December 17, 2012

 Dear Hubby was home on Saturday and came down to ask what I was doing.  I showed him my string of FG sewn by twos for Part 4 of Easy Street.  I got him to take a picture. He asked why did I sew them that way?  To save thread, fellow quilters, right? Yes, Lynn I did Pin them to get the points just right. See my fairy frost purple and the little birds I found in the Back on white??

64 all pin into sets of 10 and one of  4
 I had to add the stripe and lt teal to my wings. I didn't feel like going out in the rainy cold with this yuck I have already.  It's getting better, just have to keep the roll of tissue close by to catch the runny nose.

And for Janet O who asked how many 'siggy' squares I have collected...
On the big wall are the ones from Friends, Fellow Quilters and Bloggers I'v' met, Famous (or published) Authors and quilters I've requested a Siggy from. My siggy from Judy L came with her Weekend Quilts Book I ordered from her when she still lived in Nevada, MO. I'm thinking I'll use the Word Play letters again and put it on the four side borders where I collected these from. ie: Friends, Fellow Bloggers, Famous Quilt Authors and Fellow Quilters sounds good to me.  I have included a could blank squares in it already.  I have a few more to collect along my way... This Name-Dropper quilt might even get my panel of the Quilter.

  1. are the hatchet blocks also a part of the wasiq swap from years ago? I don't have mine together yet.

    Love your step 4's. Nice job, Mary :-) If you go to the retreat this June (I'm hoping to, hopefully Kevin won't be travelling again), we could bring our mystery quilts to show together!

  2. I did a siggy swap many years ago and I actually got the blocks together and quilted. It is a wonderful size to cover the window in my sewing room.
