design wall Wednesday

Just a quick post to show what I finished up the other night -- it's the blocks for a Weed Whacker quilt from Quiltville.

I am bound and determined to reduce stash and scraps and this actually made a small dent! I probably won't get it put together and border for a couple of weeks, but watch this space...

Next up is a short trip to Wisconsin for some in-laws/family stuff, followed too rapidly by a day in Sacramento for work. Then I'm hoping to have a little time to relax and sew again.

Don't forget to comment on the previous post for my blogiversary giveaway.

I love using up stash. The blues are gorgeous. Have fun in Wisconsin. I feel ready for a road trip but to where?
