We went from having a mild summer to hot! practically overnight.  Our summer temps had been much lower than normal now all of a sudden we are in the mid 90′s and it looks like it is staying there.  Thank heavens for air conditioning.  I was hardly outside today other than going to work out in an air conditioned building.

3787002800_16bc8a09baI have not done very much on my “Insanity” quilt since I last posted on Saturday.  I have the border triangles done on Row I (the 9th row) on one side. In the photo you can see where I basted the scallop edge down got a little puffy I need to take those basting stitches out before I forget and pull that tighter.   I have been mainly working on the applique from the 3rd border on the Christmas quilt.  I am almost done on that border.

At the site for the Moda Bake Shop there is an interesting easy quilt featured.  They call it the “Scruffily Quilt” – they list the fabric needed and have a short tutorial on how to make it.  I have not made a frayed edge quilt and this looks like something to take on a picnic with you doesn’t it!  I love the products although I have so many scraps here at home that I haven’t actually ordered any of them.  I have only ever bought 2 jelly rolls – once I get some of these scraps eventually used up I will need to start getting some of them for easy quilts.
