Sorry folks ,have managed to leave gadget that puts pics from camera to iPad at home,so you will have to wait till I get back for pictures!
The house we have rented is awesome ! It is like living in a stately home. The only thing is we have found it dose have a sad tale, the family built it with the insurance money when their brother was killed in a fishing accident .

fenrosie the wait may kill us, well I'm sure the brother would have bee ok with that use of the money least it wasn't squandered
I hate the adds on this page, you roll your mouse over them by accident and they come to life and you can't shut them up. I know they serve a purpose but oh well next thing to gripe about.

Okay - I'm in for this one too. I really like the square design and colors will make a great quilt for my MIL.

I've been reading along on your current (blue/yellow solitare) & really like this new swap as one I think will fit my time and skills (no triangles woohoo)
and I love the color plan *sage green, (peachy)pinks & a cream * will be nice to work with and a great change from the last few quilts I've done.

(Apparently everyone I know has purple for their fav. color & has had only boy babies for the past 4 yrs, way done w/ purple & blue)

I'll be fabric shopping around Aug 19 -- has anyone figured out the exact yardage for each of the 3 colors?

Meanwhile, I'm working on a log cabin twin sized to send to a 2nd cousin who is off to College this month. I've done log cabin in wool before so my 'always do something different on each quilt rule' has me doing light/dark contrast on each block so I can do one of the fun second pattern layouts. The back or front side of the quilt will be her school colors so she can have that side up big game days if she gets into that sort of thing, or just have the log cabins up if she doesn't want to be hyper team spirit. So as soon as I get this one done I'll be doing the swap block. Then I have 2 baby quilts to do one boy one girl assuming everything w/ those turns out as expected (lots of friends becoming grandparents lately).

I'll check back to see if anyone has an idea on yardage before I shop & this way if DH tries to complain about me buying more fabric I can say, "hey at least it isn't another breed of chickens we need to build a new pen for "
brilliant!

I have you down, welcome, no I have not figured out the fabric yardage. I found some really pretty Sage, I went ahead and bought 2 yards, well it was what was left on the bolt. I am going back to get the other 2 colors, the worker was marking down the fabric so I didn't want to wait so I'll go back. Hey, when your husband tries to say something, these are your tools,

anyway that is what I tell my husband tools of the trade and yes we do work!!!!!

Actually, DH is really good about it - he totally can't stand chickens but he helps me w/ the chicken chores when I need it.

And using my reg. old sewing machine I made him an almost king size all purple quilt which got named his "Lota"
meaning thats-a-lot-a-purple-quilt , so it balances out.

Speaking of chickens, how many days after your broody sets do you think it ok to add some other eggs?
I have a Buckeye now hard broody but I fear most of all of the eggs unfertile so I'm considering putting some H. BR
eggs under her (but I just put 2 other EE eggs under her also, b/c they were 1-2 days hot & I didn't want that hen broody either).
Anyway, would ya'll add them today? Helen the Buckeye hen was off& on for a few days, went solid broody maybe fri night
I think she has about 9 eggs (hers & Penny the pullet maybe) but I expect zero fertile honestly.

As to yardage no worries,
I'm figuring that I'll get at least 2 poss. up to 3 yards each then I'll have more for the leftover stash
Actually, cream is so handy that if I find one I love I may go wild and get plenty extra esp. if I like how this current light/dark log cabin turns out
b/c it is going to take almost all the light fabric in my stash then I'll be out of light neutral fabrics and I can't have that happen! ;>
