recycled quilt

Im learning how to piece blocks that are all one finished size. Im a slow learner. One of the pleasures of making free form quilts is there is no seam allowance, there is no matching - who cares? Well, Ive made two years of those quilts and needed to move onto a new something. Piecing! Im loving doing the work. I like cutting fabric, I love sewing it. I like looking at how the colors come together. Im not so good at coming out with one size blocks when Im done. I just finished making -78 blocks that were supposed to finish at 12 by 12 inches. Most of them finished at 11.5 by 12. So thats fun, right? Its a PITA to do new things and fail at them. But, its the way of learning. And, I am learning. Here are some pics of the quilt I am working on i think that it will be a nice quilt when it is finished i want it to be about a queen size - I bought the batting today.

Im busy Running for City Council School and, I got REALLY tired of living in a pig dump house. I have been working hard cleaning out this dump. There was so much stuff I could not move without stuff falling everywhere. Im not even making that up. I have lots of piles now - 1 pile is for yardsale stuff 1 pile is for recycle 1 pile is trash. Im also working on a give away pile - stuff I have that I think my friends might need or want. Another thing Im really lucky to have -- is, I live in a little city where I can put things on the sidewalk and the walkers will pick the stuff up. Two days ago, I put a few old windows I had picked up... with a plan for someday -- but that day is not going to come. They got picked up in less than 20 min. My yardsale keeps getting put back because we have had so much rain! I need to get a nice day on a weekend to get that shit out of my place.
