Brown Bag Challenge Ends Today!

Hello to all my wonderful blogging friends out there. I am happy to tell you that I am back and with so much to share that I don't even know where to begin! Let me just say that I have really missed ya'll! Five weeks is wayyyy to long to go without blogging.


I am going to share with you the quilt that I made for
the "Brown Bag Quilt Challenge" as it ends today! 
I just barely got it back from the quilter in time.


If you remember from my earlier post a while back...
I was paired up with Lyn over at Blue Bird Quilts 
and this is the beautiful bundle of fabric
 that she sent me for the challenge. Thanks Lyn!
It has been a real blast designing a quilt with it.


Believe it or not...
I was able to use over 90% of the fabric that was
sent and still incorporate a few pieces
of fabric from my own stash into the blocks.


I did that by using the rest for the back!
Now I am off to bind my quilt so I can get it posted to
the "Brown Bag Quilt Challenge" on Flicker.

What a wonderful experience this has been. Not only did I get a new quilt but I gained a lifelong friend forever! Lyn you are the BEST... and I have been truly blessed by your sweet friendship!

Your Brown Bag Challenge quilt is wonderful. I love the pattern you used. That blue fabric border is perfect.

You make me want to get back to regularly attending my quilting bee.

In February, I was WAY ahead on my Brown Bag challenge but then things got in the way and now I'm not much farther than I was then, so I have no idea when mine will be completed. *sigh* I love what you made, though!
