Ocean Waves scrap blocks, originally uploaded by Cathi O'Neill.
See that basket? That is my basket of smaller Dear Jane scraps and muslin scraps... See those blocks? I got 37 8 inch blocks from that basket and it is still FULL!! I did manage to clear it of anything that could be turned into a 3 inch square, so I have a crumb pieced quilt in the works (in my head in design stage, lol) for the small pieces.
Barbara and her husband Hakan arrive tomorrow for a visit. I am looking forward to a crafty week, Dave is looking forward to a golf filled week. I hope to show them around a bit as well, and take them out to hear great traditional music. Should be fun... if my poor kids ever get rid of the germs that keep coming around... There are more head colds and ick going around and everyone's kids seem reinfected around here... Keep your fingers crossed that my girls are happy tomorrow morning, I have 5 hours round trip in the car with them while I pick up our visitors at the airport in Dublin. I really hope I don't have to tell Barbara and her DH to find their way by train, but will have to if the kids are not on the mend!! Ugh...what bad timing.
UPDATE: Have been up since 5am...looks like Barbara will be arriving by train and I will take my coughing, sniffling, fluey kids to Limerick (30 minutes) instead of Dublin (2 1/2 hours) to pick them up. I wasn't relishing 5 or more hours with cranky kids after 4 hours sleep (did I tell you I was up at 2, 3 and 4 am as well with kids!!) I hope they don't mind taking the train!!

Ooh, that is so pretty! I've got plans for a bunch of scrap quilts using Gwen Marston's techniques. I had a blast at the Stitchin' Post in Sisters today. It was their anniversary sale and everything was 25% off. I came home with a huge bunch of fabric with which to make more scraps! Hope the sickness goes away soon!
Love the way it looks! That's one of my favorite scrappy patterns.
Amazing how many quilt squares can come from a little basket!
I love scrappy quilts and this ocean waves is very pretty. I made one for my sister but she doesn't like scrappy so I made it in two colors.
[...] those!! I poured out my repro collection on the floor to start cutting out some more squares for my Ocean Waves quilt, and to get a few bits of fabric for to send along for Lucy, who is going through a rough time now, [...]
