Busting some Scraps!!

The Panguitch Quilt Walk is next week and I can't wait to go and teach!!!   I am also super excited that my daughter, Jessica, will be joining Barbara and I as she is now out of school ;)   She agreed to take a class with me, providing that it "wasn't to hard".   So I figured, you can't go wrong with Sawtooth Stars and Log Cabins ;)    We sketched it up in EQ8 and changed the layout slightly to make it a little more "modern".  Jessi and I discussed a lot of fabric options, and in the end we decided on an all neutral quilt broken out in lights and darks. 

So that meant it was time to bust open the scrap drawers.   I was so happy to pull out some scraps from my brown, black, and grey drawers.   They were at the point where they would barely close ;)  We tag teamed the prep work, having Jessi press and me cut.   It really went pretty fast considering we were cutting all from scraps for a queen size quilt :)

And now, we are all set, and I can't tell you how excited I am to see this quilt come together when I see all of these awesome stacks!!!  It is just going to be amazing ;)    The only hard part now will be not starting until class next week.   I keep trying to justify to myself that  "I should just go over the process with Jessi of making 1 Star Block and 1 Log Cabin block."  But I know myself, if I start, I won't be able to stop, please tell me I am not the only one with this issue, tee hee hee.    

So I packed this up in a project tote, and thank heavens for Alphabitties for keeping all the pieces straight.   Now I am just anxiously awaiting class.   I just love sewing with Jessi and Barbara, it is oh so much fun.   What a wonderful weekend it is going to be ;)  

I hope you are all having a very Happy Quilting Day and hopefully get to sew with some friends and/or family as well!!
