July 4th

 Happy 4th of July!!

One of my husband's cousins had a funny post on Facebook yesterday . . .
On this date July 3rd 1776, Thomas Jefferson historically said "holy crap!! Is that due tomorrow?"  

Sorry - I just couldn't resist sharing it today.

The June row for Saturday Sampler is finished.  Some of the rows have been narrow, with lots of small (like 4") blocks.  And a couple of rows have been this size - 12" finished - with only 5 blocks in it.  We're over halfway through this program already.

Since I was in a red/white/blue mood a good share of the week I continued to play with the leftovers from Quilts of Valor.  That lead to pulling out some 6.5" orphan blocks from the bin - some are patriotic and others were just random ones.  These will be more mug rugs and the bonus - uses up more orphan blocks. 

To continue on with my focus on red/white/blue, one of the UFO projects on my July goal list is to do something with the Indigo Way blocks that have been languishing in the project box.  This was a Bonnie Hunter pattern from a couple of years ago.  If there aren't enough blocks done for a Quilt of Valor I may end up making a few more.
