March definitely came in like a lamb here in our neck of the woods, and it's nice to feel the promise of spring when we go outside. just yesterday A, my 13yo daughter, excitedly came inside and announced that she saw a robin! it sure seems early, but spring is such and exciting and promising time!
i recently bought an Accuquilt Studio 2 Cutter. {not an affiliate link} and i'm LOVING it!!! i got a basic array of dies for it, while i become acquainted with what will work best for my and my style of sewing: churn dash, 6" tumblers, 3" squares and (too small in retrospect) equilateral triangles.
i have a list of things a mile long that i need to be working on: taxes, the family Christmas calendar, I Spy quilts for the (4) grandchildren for Easter, the baby quilt for grandchild #5 (!!!) and spring cleaning/Lent purging/get all the crap out of here/someday i'm going to die and i don't want to saddle my children with all the stuff cleaning.
anyway- lots to keep me busy around here! AND: i'm thrilled that Cynthia IS doing her Quilty Adoption again this year- starting March 19. i'm still working in the sewing room, cleaning/purging/rearranging, and i've found at least 4 things that i'd like to share/move on.
first up: (getting an early start!) a box of extra 3" squares. (picture coming later) ADOPTED there is quite a lot there: enough room for a boat-load of creativity! i sorted through the drawer, looking to consolidate, and picked out a bunch of the squares that i'm "done" with. there are many different colors, but most of them are "cream based" rather than "white based". if you'd like my box of squares to get creative with your own projects, leave a comment. i'll be happy to share- first priority will go to charity quilts, but other than that, the sky's the limit!
i'll be back later with more... Saturday morning is in full speed around here...

LOVELY churn dash blocks - and green is such a wonderful color this time of year. Good luck with the list - I have one here, too.
How exciting to get the Accuquilt cutter! Looks like it works really well for those pretty churn dashes!
I am an Accuquilt girl through and through.
Great, scrappy churn dash blocks. Love your donkey--we used to have quite a few and I really miss them as they are quite the characters and so charming.
What a great quilt those scrappy churn dash blocks are going to make!! Best of luck on those Easter quilts for the grands. Can't believe you are working your way to number FIVE!
Lovely collection of blocks, all pretty shades of teal.
Love those churn dashes!
Aren't those cutters a wonder? Such a time-saver, and a wrist-saver as well!
Such lovely fabrics together are going to turn into wonderful quilt!
Oh boy! Those are really pretty Churn Dash blocks! Sounds like you've got a full plate of cleaning & creating going on. Have fun creating!!!
