this post brought to you by the number 6


quilt top made from 6" squares-all scraps

$6 shoes by American Eagle (!!!)

6 days until my boys start school

6 is also the number of quilts that I have started in the past few weeks.
I realize I need help.

What a cute post. Cute you! Those shoes look more like 60 than 6. How fun. All of it.

Cute shoes! Love the simplicity of the 6" squares. I'm working on one with all yellow fabrics. A Sunshine Quilt :-)

karen @ badlandsquilts said...

6 new quilts... WOW! I've been going crazy cause I had to halt production on just 2 to make a baby quilt.

Looking forward to seeing them!

Marty said...

Maybe we should start a support group as I too have a problem with starting quilts. Now that I think about it I think they call that a guild.
Great use of scraps.

Crystal Hendrix said...

Wow six quilts! I can only handle 1 at a time! Although I am already have my eye on another one I will be starting shortly! And one is your rag quilt!

Cheryl Arkison said...

Gee, now we can add that it has been at least 6 weeks from that post and I still don't have a patio! Maybe we should start coordinating our quilts to our shoes more often? Uh oh, more inspiration means more quilts.

Anonymous said...

wow. that is a lot of 6's :)

Are those cute shoes a size 6?

Linda Lee said...

I am relieved to find out I am actually "normal" quilter--I have arrived. I have also have six projects going at one time that I have started since the first of August!!!!!

I have pictures on my blog now that shows my 96 year old Granny sandwiching her quilt together and rolling it. I just wondered if you do this or is this an old fashioned way. I know one thing....it works. Check it out when you have a second.
