Roses are Red...

... and so are my scraps!

First, you might remember my picture of two weeks ago, the messy playroom/sewing room.  My favorite little man, who took this fabulous self-portrait


helped me make the playroom look like this:


There's still tidying to be done, but the worst of the massive ironing is over, and we cleared up the train tracks off the floor.  Whew!

Meanwhile, I've knocked out a few more 9s and 6s.  I also finished my 2" squares and my spool top, both of which can be seen in this post.  I already have the spools quilt top basted and a quilting plan made.  Next week, if the school days are as peaceful as today's was, I will have it quilted and ready to send to my grandma.  I may try to use a few more spools to whip up a pillowcase, but haven't decided on that just yet.
Be sure to check out other scrappy red projects at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge!

Looking great! I can't wait for a couple of hours of school quiet time this week. Good luck with your quilting and congrats on finding the floor. I have no clue what our floor of the playroom looks like - darn it, something else to do while the kids are in school.

9s and 6s are looking good. I've never seen this pattern and I like it.

 I thought I wrote this, but it seems to be lost somewhere or I never wrote it at all… August was a quiet block month, with only 42 16-patch...
