some strips are only 1" wide others are like 10" wide. Colors are brown, celery green, aqua blue cream. 
About the only "quilt" blog I ever check out is Camille Roskelley's blog called Simplify. She just posted her newest patterns and I love them! I love her style and her colors and everything else too. I am going to have to make one just like the one on top of this post.
Here's her blog address: http://www.camilleroskelley.typepad.com/
I had a few fat quarters but scraps would do and then I bought a little t-shirt at Walmart for $3.50. Sew some strips together and sew them onto the t-shirt. Put some elastic in and attach a fabric flower (or not) and it's just that easy!
Done! This will be heading out to my favorite little teradachtyl (sp?) for some summer fun. 
I love conference because I can get so much done while listening to uplifting talks. The first thing I did was bind my whirlygig quilt. I LOVE IT! This is one of my favorites.
I finally got my Christmas quilt bound. I had it all stitched before Christmas and the binding sewn on but needed the hand work done on the binding. All done - too bad I have to wait until next Christmas. But it does look nice folded up in my basket in my dining room.
My Christmas table topper - I bought the kit 4 years ago and finally sewed it up this past Christmas. Again, just needed to be bound. I love how it looks like ribbons crisscrossed.
My scrap quilt I made with left overs from the civil war prints from my crazy Buggy Barn log cabin quilt (you can see just a little bit of it under the blog header word "Rack". Anyway, I think this is a masculine quilt and the best part is, it didn't cost me anything for the top because it was a scrap quilt.
Another quilt I've needed to bind for over a year. I'm bad because I get excited about a new quilt top and want to start to sew it up instead of finishing up what I need to. Oh, well, that's what conference is for twice a year, right? 
While the guys were at their meeting on Saturday night, we went to my favorite quilt shop (see button on right side for the link to Material Girls Quilts). You can see the two cute purses in the background as well as all the amazing fabric and ideas. I bought a few fat quarters to make a cute little dress for Meili and Becky bought some fabric to have me make her a purse like the one right by my Mom's elbow. I'll post pictures when I get it done. It was really fun to go spend time just exploring and getting ideas.
Becky wanted a fun table runner for springtime so she suggested that if I would sew it, she would buy the fabric for both her and for me to make one for me too. What a deal! This is the fun fabric we found called "Object of Desire" by Moda. Notice the cute shoes on one of the fabrics.
I got Becky's done that very day - cute, huh? 
And here's mine. It took one charm pack and the few charms I didn't use, I used for the flowers and stems. I also used a small amount for the border and for the binding. Fast and easy! And that is what I am all about some days. 
My Mom and I checked out Material Girls Quilts in Salt Lake a few weeks ago. I LOVED it! I can't begin to tell you how fun and amazing this shop is. Anyway, my mom bought this fabric for a tote bag for church.
She hasn't been feeling great lately so I made it up for her. Didn't it turn out cute? No, I didn't use a pattern but it was easy and I can tell you how if you want to make one.
The cutest part was this flower. Don't you love it?!? It took about 5 minutes to make it. I used a cookie cutter for the black polka dot part. I wonder undered 2 black fabric pieces together and then cut it out in the flower shape. The purple striped pattern was cut out in a circle. I gathered along the edges and stuffed some batting in as I pulled it tight. Then I just hand stitched it onto the black part and then onto the bag. Easy.
