Design Wall Monday and Quiltmaker

My design wall hasn't changed one bit.  It's been a crazy April so far with spring break and my daughter and two grandkids here for over a week.  I definitely couldn't sew when I had those two adorable kids here.  Nicole is 11 months and Jared is 3 1/2.  My other daughter and husband were here for a few days also, and add in a family burial and dinner and Easter...  Yes, busy!

However I did machine quilt a large quilt, starting in March and finishing this past weekend.  I have shown it on my blog before but now it's to the binding stage!  I have pre-entered it in the Palouse Patchers quilt show in Moscow this coming weekend so it needs to be finished!
Finger Lakes Log Cabin from a pattern by Judy Martin
The big news is my two blog posts for Quiltmaker Scrap Squad.  I can now show them and the quilts I made!  The first I call Gemstones and go to the post to see the original pattern I was asked to do on Quiltmaker Quilt Pleasures blog.

The next quilt I have now named Charming Chopsticks based on comments I received on this blog post!  Check out the link to Quiltmaker Quilt Pleasures blog!
I have my third assignment and I'm looking forward to getting started on the next quilt.  I have yet to make a dent in my scraps as a member of the Scrap Squad!

Linking to Patchwork Times.  Check it out for other Design Wall Mondays!

Amazing quilts. Your stash of scraps is large and I know the feeling of not making a dent. I think the scraps multiply when we aren't looking. I'll have to google the quilt show times and try to come see. It's so close and I Love a good quit show.

I enjoy their show every year and will be looking for your quilt next weekend. The scrap squad projects are really beautiful, can I say I like them better than the original? Looking forward to the 3rd one!

Wow Julie! Your eye putting fabrics together for scrap quilts is amazing. I love this design and the palette. The palette you used for the hero's homecoming/dogwoods was equally impressive. You're a perfect for the scrap squad.
