2011 Rainbow Scrap Challenge- Red- 2/12/2011

UPDATED: 2/13/2011 Added Pics:

I was only able to complete one more of the larger four patches.



But, I managed to get all 12 of the 16 patches done!



Every day there is so many little pieces of this, and small pieces of that, that make my life so inspiring, fun, happy, sad, and sometimes quite hectic! This last week, and also today, fall into the hectic category. In my life, sometimes its hard to figure out where each little piece of this, and each little bit of that fits into the giant collage of my life. But, it's a total different outcome, when I quilt! Here, no matter what shape, size, or color, that piece of this, or that, is, I can always find the perfect place for it, somewhere in a quilt, pillowcase, bag, or something! Wouldn't life be so much easier for all of us, if everyone knew the pattern ahead of time, to that quilt we are making of our lives!

On to the second, RED Saturday of the 2011 Rainbow Scrap Challenge for February! I wanted to take pics of what I would be working on today. But, remember this is a hectic day, and my DS removed the batteries from my camera to put in his Ipod, then decided to leave the house. So, I will have to update this post with pics later.
I have 4 red/white 16 patches to finish, 10 larger all different red patterned 4 patches to complete, and if I'm lucky, and not interrupted too many times, 12 tiny 3.5" red string blocks to make! I'm pushing my luck here, so I better stop now, and get busy sewing. Hope everyone else is having a great RED Scrappy Saturday!

Can't wait to see all you've done. Those hectic days always get the better of us don't they. Hope tomorrow is better for you.

You are so right...it would be easier in some ways to know the outcome ahead of time, but maybe not as much fun! Hope you are having fun with your red patches!

And the crazy thing is that when you look back you can't put your finger on what made life so busy but you know that you've been running like the proverbial chicken. Hope you are having fun with all those reds.

Sounds like a similar week to mine, LOL.. Thankfully my camera doesn't have the same batteries as my DDs ipod... They make us mad at times but we love them dearly.
I look forward to seeing your pictures when you can show them.
Thank you for your visit last time. I just found your email in my junk folder :-/ LOL... That shouldn't happen again... Ellyx

I just uploaded the two pics of what I got done yesterday, and also wanted to add, lol, my DS kindly informed me, it wasn't his Ipod, but his portable CD player that he borrowed the batteries for! Thanks for all the wonderful comments, and I'm trying to take peeks at all of your projects too!
