Here's a lap quilt I'm making called "Roses in the Woods." When Judy Snyder gave away strips, I was lucky enough to receive some of them, and I divided them into colors. There were quite a few greens and reds, which I have added to. I love red and green, even if they are Christmas colors! And I love log cabin quilts, so this is what developed. It's not original; I know I've seen this somewhere. There'll be a total of 24 rose blocks--4 wide x 6 long--with a green strip row around. The good thing is I can sit down and make a strip block in about 5 minutes and a rose block in ten, then leave it until the next time!Also you might notice the "planning" board it's mounted on. It was easy and pretty fast! I bought a 4' x 8' piece of 1" thick styrofoam building insulation. I had them cut it into 3 pieces there because I needed to get it in my car. Unfortunately it was blue; I had to put two coats of white primer on it to keep it from showing through my flannel. Then I covered it with pieces of white flannel and taped with duct tape on the back. I mounted them on the wall with strips of Velcro. Since it's going to stay up there a lo-o-o-o-ng time, I wasn't worried about the paint job behind.
