After school pick up yesterday -rainy day car line and it poured all day - over 6 inches of rain fell in my area but the nice sandy ground soaked it up. We did a little pick up of the house and then found some ISpy books. The kids and I sat and searched our way through a couple while waiting for T to arrive for a sleepover. We made a pizza crust and the girls 'decorated' it. Lets just say it was a very cheesy pizza with pepperoni! They were busy playing and we did some games (kids and I) of pictionary and then they went to play horses while Aidan and I played Zingo. It was a late night for everyone.... and I think the girls hardly slept if at all until after 3AM! This morning Aidan and I made chocolate donuts in a muffin tin and then they wanted some eggs for breakfast. The girls and I headed across town to help with the Wreaths Across America as our community service. It was a really nice event and the girls did great. We had 12 attend from the 2 girl scout troops.
We will head over and do an early dinner with my FIL tonight. The kids are playing Minecraft, Greg is sleeping and I am heading into my sewing room until we need to leave!
I think I might just sew my 16 patches all together and call it a top! The need to get 'something' done will lead to a very scrappy 16 patch top I think!
Linking up with the other RSC Challenge folks... who have made a lot of progress on their projects!
Edited - got some sewing time. Laid out the blocks...needed one more. Hmmmmm. Pulled some browns (cause I didn't have a deep chocolate brown block!).
TaDa! A top! 40 inches square.

Hoping you had a productive sewing time! Did you get the top together? Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!
Lovely RSC flimsy...nice you got sewing time...hugs, Julierose
What a fun top! So many pretty quilts all out of rainbow scraps. Sounds like the kids had a great day. The rain missed us here yesterday, but we heard all about it!
like the top - sounds like a busy time with kids - I had an afternoon of cookie baking with a 7 year old and she wore me out!!
I love these sort of scrap quilt. They always make me feel happy - using scraps to create a quilt is my idea of happiness!
Beautiful top, well done ;)
That's beautiful. I think sometimes we need to do exactly what you did. Finish and don't overthink it. It's beautiful and certainly has lots of memories in all those scrappy squares.
