weekend getaway

I just wanted to post before I left for the weekend. Plus tI want to let you know who the winner of my little giveaway is. It's Leslie!!!! She has been a follower for awhile and always has such sweet encouraging things to say so I'm happy for you Leslie!!! These are my new 9 patches. I'm going a different direction this time. I don't want to do sashing so I'm doing to kinds of 9 patches so that they can lay right next to eachother. I'm liking it.
It is also different for me becsause it was scraps from this quilt and so I just cut them all up and am ready to keep making them as I feel. I don't think I can get 70 out of the scraps but I'm going to work with what I have and if it's a lap size that's fine because I'm working on the binding to the stacked coins quilt that goes on the end of my bed.
This is a project I'm going to try to get done before we leave for vacation on the 2nd. We have a nephew that's getting married and I thought I'd whip them up a quilt. This quilt is very easy so I thought I'd at least try!:) Have a great weekend. We will be at a wedding and I think since it's going to rain here the indoor waterpark will be very FUN!!!:)
