Which layout of Kaffe Kisses do you like best?  I'm struggling...

I am anxious to have Kaffe Kisses off the design wall so Kalvert Kliffs can take its place.  I have all the dark fabrics selected and first cuts made.  The first cut was ~5 1/2" by 11 1/2" just in case the selvage was in the length.  The final measurement will be a pair of 5" squares.

Next to cut are the neutrals.  I have all the fabrics pulled and ready for their first cuts.

I hope to have something done during my long weekend to share on Monday when I link up with Patchwork Times.

You know how excited we get when the postal person brings us a package that is unexpected?  Well I got an awesome one today from my friend Janet.  She gifted me a mini that she made from a bunch of HSTs that I gifted her not too long ago.  Thank you so very much for having me in mind.  I already have it on display in my sewing room so that I can gaze at it often.  You certainly made my day a happy one =^.^=

52Quilts.com selected the project to be worked this month.  It will be #2.

Kalvert Kliffs will have its turn on the sewing table.  (Calvert Cliffs is a town that meets the Chesapeake River.)  There is a lot of sorting through my stash for the right darks.  A Twin is in the making.  I will be using nothing but stash and will need 140 pairs (that's two) of 5" squares.

57 rectangles that will make two 5" squares is what I have now, but there is more to cut.

I'm planning reds, blues, and greens as a start.  If the stash won't give me what's desired black might enter in.

So what do you have going on in your sewing room?  See more projects through the links at Patchwork Times.

Today my day has been spent binding.  Binding, sleeves, and labels to finish Kurosity and Kristoff.  Sleeve and label to finish Kwill.  Plus several more labels that have been waiting to be printed for other projects.  You do know the cost of those nice fabric sheets =^.^=.

During the week I finished the applique work for Bonnie.  

The Sunshine BOM was done too.  

No finishes to report yet.  I sure am anxious to see the numbers turn BLACK!  Link into Patchwork Times if you have time.
