Rose Prairie Quilts and Farm

What's up on my design wall after taking down my quarter log cabin blocks ( more here about it )  Is now a panel Charlie Brown the Great Pumpkin that I had bought to make the "little dudes" a Halloween quilt.  There are 2 panels of course, just going to show one.   I have some other fabric up there to coordinate with it, but I think I need some more.  Now who don't need more fabric. I think while I'm at the Springfield Missouri Quilt  Show I'll look for some coordinating fabrics or maybe some additional Halloween prints.  Now for how to construct it?  I have a couple pattern that I could choose from or maybe design mine own.  Haven't decided yet on that.  Then I had bought last year before last Halloween, a countdown calendar for the "little dudes".  Have everything for that, bought it at the kit and so now all I need  to do is get it sewn together.

When I came back to the house I worked on my rainbow colored scrap quilt blocks. I have this month color done for my quarter log cabin.  Now I am all caught up for that one. I have the pieces cut out for my railroad crossing blocks  but I didn't have a chance to do them today. Earlier this

Well that is a big question, what's up Seeing how I haven't posted since before the retreat I went to. So I will show what I did at the retreat and what I have been doing these past few days, which is this Log Cabin Christmas Tree  wall hanging I have the blocks completed and now it just a matter of getting them sewn together. I'll get to that tomorrow. While at the retreat I made this baby quilt top with the disappearing 4-patch block. I had a charm pack and used some "snow" fabric Kaufman snow is one of my favorite whites to use. It's white but not a stark, bright white, goes well with a majority of the fabric I've collected. I started late making my blocks for RCS14 First I wasn't sure what pattern I wanted to make and then with all that was going on the first part of the year, I didn't start until July. One quilt is using a quarter log cabin in solid colors. I made these at the retreat, have the other half t
