A rainbow on my deck

I was able to finish all the blocks { I can hear sighs of relief that these are FINALLY done, including ME...lol}, not this weekend as I had planned but by this morning. It was too lovely outside on Saturday and Sunday and well the yard was screaming my name for some attention! It was nice to be outside and getting my hands a little dirty :o) 

My favorites of the reds

and the black/grays, I decided to lump these groups together

All lined up even though I am not convinced they will stay this way. Do you think it is better like this or random bursts of color all over?  This will be the hardest part for me I think.

Don't forget today is Week 3 of the New York Beauty QAL  being hosted by the very talented Megan at  Canoe Ridge Creations. I will be working on mine this week! Beautiful block Megan!

More of the same...

I know I am driving y'all crazy with my courthouse steps but this is the best way for me to keep gettin em made!!!! Now I found out that there is another reason to get this quilt completed...PRIZES!!!!! I saw a fantastic post yesterday from Rachel over at Stitched In Color. She started the Scrap Attack in January, she is always doing super cool and motivating things over there. I needed that gentle kick in the tooshie to tidy up my sewing scraps, although in doing so I have actually added to the piles since I was missing some colors but SSSShhhhhhhhh... I would tell if you won't ;o)

I am going to have to up my production of these babies to complete the project in time to participate and hopefully you guys will bear with me! I finished SEVEN yesterday...WOO HOO and thank goodness for pre-school!!!!

It is growing!!!!!!!

So if you are working on a scrappy project be sure to head on over for the linky party and prizes!!!!! Thanks so much Rachel :o)
