Sampler finished, t-shirt plan, lunchtime project

Thanks goodness it rained most of the day yesterday so I had an excuse not to work in the yard. LOL!! Instead I finished the zebra sampler. I only had four 12" pieces of floss left. Talk about cutting it close! LOL!!

Next I cleaned up the quilting table a bit and fixed two pieces for the t-shirt quilt. I had this shirt

and now it looks like this

Then there was this piece. Really? Cut it from the t-shirt like this?

I managed to save it. I don't think it looks too bad.  I used a t-shirt from my stash and the color match is pretty close. 

A mosaic design was asked for so here is the first section I am working on. I am going to need more gray t-shirts to cut up for joining fabric.

Here is a picture of my niece with the quilt I sent her. She is the sister of the nephew that got the yellow and gray quilt.

I made this quilt in 2005. It was the biggest improv quilt I had made to date. It wasn't quite long enough so I just use the leftover bits to add a row at the bottom.

So since I finished the sampler I will go back to working on the 2010 quilt at lunchtime if it is too hot to walk or if it is raining. It looks like a hot mess in this picture! LOL!!

Right now I am working on the gold section at the top. I would love to get this UFO done by the end of the month, but I think that would be pushing it. I am using No. 12 pearl cotton to quilt with.
