Sunday Stash on Monday! Plus 9 Patch

Here is my Sunday Stash.
Wow Right? I love this fabric... I have no idea what it is or how old it is but I love it!
I call it Funky May Flowers

I am loving the Daily Nine Patch. I joined last week so I was a week behind.
I did 16 this week so I think I am caught up. It's easy, fun, and I hope I don't get too behind...
after I get done with my project I am taking a couple of days off - no sewing or quilting. Then after that, I am going to do some quilting. I will have to sit down and make my 9patches during this break ...but it should be fun.

Willy Nilly is also doing some blocks with Charm fabric.. One of the many blogs I visited(I can't remember which one- i suck) did some rules for her blocks and I have noticed others have "rules" that they are working by also. So here's mine:
1. Modern Fabric in the 5 location
2.30's repo or vintage, maybe some solid, in the 4 location
3. Lighter spring tones to prevail (that brown and blue on the right are both going out or to a different project)
4. I think I will use gray background.
5. I think I am going to limit my use of red, even tho I love it. I may use it as cornerstones or something when I put it together.

Some of the blocks I made don't conform but that is how I want to focus this project in the future.. we'll see how it goes...
These are my favorites:

So far...

Quilter's Rock!

Stash of Selvage on Sunday- does that count?

selvage love by you.
Karen over at The Selvage Blog is showing off peoples stashes of selvage. Here's mine - its not much, but it's all I've got. I threw in a bit of my machine for perspective. Its crammed pretty tight in that bag and I keep adding to it.
bag of selvage by you.
Things are pretty crazy here. I am working on my Mothers Day Quilt for Mom. Then I got a couple quilting jobs. Then on Friday I got another job, paid, making a top for a fabric company.
The company needs it back "fast" so when they call I stop everything and do their work first. They always need it fast, that's just how it works right?
They are lovely people and I am grateful for the work, I feel very professional filling out reports and getting paid to sew. It's a dream come true. I had to audition and everything. I wore spanx.
The thing is... this time... everybody is in hurry or has a time line. So I am scurrying around like a crazy person. seriously insane.
Quilters Rock!
