First - the couch quilt .....
block one is done, hopefully. Block 2 - I REALLY like the variegated batik on the triangle part - and like the center block BUT don't really feel the center block quite "goes" with the rest. The center block on the FIRST block - the color DOES exist on the variegated swirly batik - but you sure couldn't prove it from anthing farther away than a foot! Besides I think son and dil wanted ALL blue - including the background! And that pale blue would work (maybe - probably not) in the background!
Block 2 needs to be sewn together, then all block 2's need to alternate with the 1's and I need to finish up the whole thing. Hopefully. And hopefully it will be done this time next year.

The color palette thingy - EGADS!!!! What a mess!!!! I think from here out I probably need to either paper piece the rest - or wait for my dd to arrive and SHE can put it together!!!! See what I mean?
There is NO WAY I would consider eating a melon thingy with this as my table topper! At least not until I get it re-done (probably from scratch!)

The next is my July UFO - which is NOT done - but I AM pleased here - there were a gazillion HST's - both large and small. The small ones went to form small pinwheels. This started with NO small pinwheels put together, and NO twosies either! Also - no pressed open HSTs nor trimmed. And while I didn't finish this - I did get a LOT of work done on it! I'm happy! Oh yeah - this is staying my LE until I finish all the steps up to where I connect block A with block B. Seems to work fairly well that way!
Re the Grandmother Scrap Quilt - not a lot of us traded. and I haven't had a chance to work on it. Will post a pic next week.
