Prairie Moon organizational challenge

Prairie Moon's challenge this week is organize your rulers.

My rulers are near my cutting table and fairly organized.
I'd like to find a new way for the big ones in the back to be handled.

Tammy update

This is like a feather/paisley in the green.
X in center with a spiral.
Feathers in the corner.

X through corner and center.
Flowers in the white. 
This is like a feather/paisley in the green.
straight lines in print and flower in the white.

I need to finish off the green border that I forgot last row.  LOL
The border gets the flower treatment.

After I get the borders done, I will have one more row to work on.

I don't like geometric designs



Wow, this is a lot of work.  
I am not a straight line person.  LOL
I am learning and have one more to go on this row and will either do the same on the other white row or figure something else out.

Progress

Well, I have had progress on my taxes.  
Just waiting to see if DH finds any other deductions before filing tomorrow morning and paying. :(

Made progress on the BOM by one row done.  
This is my first real "modern" quilt to quilt.  
I'm learning as I go.  
The border has flowers and loops.
All the centers have the X.
All the blue has my swirls that are denser than normal.
The white triangles have diagonal squiggly lines.
I did a squiggly line to the center of the center 9-patches.
I echoed the flowered part of the HST. 
Squiggly lines going opposite directions.
This one was easy. 
Basically the same as the one on top.

Next is the squares bordered in the white.
I think I'm doing a geometric meander.
We shall see when I get back to it.

Tomorrow is a busy day.
Taxes in the morning.
Band UIL competition in the afternoon.

Tammy BOM

My friend Tammy has a free BOM that I'm quilting.
It will be my first "modern" quilting experience.
Go check it out!

A friend is quilting this

She does amazing work.
 I pieced the quilt, but she is making it come alive.
Check out A Thread of Scarlet to see her work.
Ann Smith designed this as a mystery.

Design for T-shirt Quilt

So, our colors are Blue and Gold.
The gray areas will be the 4 T-shirts I have for this year.
The SC stands for the School.
The big white spot is actually keyboard fabric that I bought.
The white is many 2" squares cut and sewn back together.
The rest of the piano is 2" black squares cut and sewn back together.
I think this will be a fun quilt to make.
I will start the cutting and sewing this week.
I am not sure about the red, but when I took it out, it was dull.
This is a modified design from one of the McCall's Quilting (2005) magazines I've been going through.
