Spitting nickels



Spitting nickels. Found a charm pack and one day played.
Sewed 2x2. Then 4 x4 until i had a cute top for a toddler

Now to quilt and bind. Love quick projects 
And no the 2 white and 2 peach together dont bother me.

Forgot to show you



My friend Julierose gave me a diversion for life's crazies

And i had scraps
And it looked like fun
And July 4th was coming up
And hubs loves anything flags

You get the picture. Justify....justify
Lol
Then i didnt have backing that would work so Julie to the rescue again




I made 2 placemats and backed with the beautiful flag fabric she sent

In my defense these have multiple uses
Flag day
Memorial day
4th of july
Veterans day
See?
Not a bad squirrel if i say so myself
And its for ME
I never come first so a nice change
Our 4th was a very rainy cold 3 day weekend
So no cooking out but we made the best of it
