Here are the results of

Movement in Squares. 4 hours in sewing time and I have no idea how long it took me to cut it out, Very easy to do and line up as long as you famliarize yourself with the pattern

Modern quilting

I am sure many of you have seen and made some modern quilts. I have these two patterns on my wall and one is 1/2 done and I wanted to share these patterns with you . The first I have been eyeing for some time and I have almost enough scraps of various colors to give it a try, The instructions are quite good. But maybe it is one you might not want to try and complete in a weekend you might need a little break

The pattern below is so easy and I have been able to cut the strips the night before, in just under 2 hours I have pieced 1/2 the top. I hope to complete the top in another day, It is a great scrap buster ( except for me - I have way too many scraps)
