One of the ladies that was in the group brought me a bag of selvages. She also machine quilted my Patriotic quilt. She is new to blogging. Go over and say hi.
I have two sections of my #6 UFO done. This applique is so easy compared to Aunt Millie's Garden. Don't get me wrong, I love doing AMG but sometimes you just want some instant gratification and this does it for me.
When you look at the pieced blocks remember, I was a new quilter and my fabric choices were pretty interesting. I wanted it to be scrappy so I was using the fabric that has the pansies on it as a focal fabric. 
Well, I am off to wash fabric and get some sewing done. Until next time.With Passion, Carrie P.

I love your UFO. It's so pretty and you did such a great job. Can hardly wait to see the finished product.
I know what you mean about simple projects. They are so fun and keep me inspired. Love your UFO, have fun with your BOM.
Yippee, a bag of selvedges. Now what will you do with them? Can you believe I bought an applique book toda???
Aren't those BOMs at the quilt shops such fun?
You got that right, sometimes "INSTANT" is just what I need. And I'm not talking coffee....LOL
I'm seeing more and more fun things made from selvages. Too funny.
Nice applique blocks Carrie...BOM fabric looks good...so what are you doing with this?
Lucky you, Carrie - those selvedges will be so much fun to play with! I love those red and black fabrics, too - I've got a lot of them in my stash!
Cheers!
i love the colors of your ufo blocks! it is gorgeous! and the fabrics you picked for your BOM are wonderful!
Love the new BOM colors, can't wait to see what it will be, I got the applique book you sugessted, I think I got the French version, I did not understand one word!!! LOL
I really like that appliqued flower - very pretty!
I go the the BOM on Thursday night. I'm doing blue so between the two of us, we have all three color ways covered. Of course, I haven't even done my block from last month yet!
Hi Carrie,
I love the colors for the BOM and $5.00, you can't beat that. Hope to see what your going to make out of your selvedges soon. They always turn out cute.
I'm still doing the machine applique, but your blocks make me want to do the hand applique.
Keep Stitchen'

I always pre-wash by hand, and find that a lot of reds usually do bleed. Purple too!
Interested in seeing what you will be doing with the selvages...
Carrie, I love the colors of your $5.00 B.O.M. I've always wanted to do a quilt in black and red!
Will it be a pieced or applique quilt? Can't wait to see more of it.
It looks like you're making some good progress on your UFO. It sure is pretty! The fabrics for your BOM look very nice as well. Can't wait to see the completed blocks! :)
Okay, let's see what you create with the selvedge. I may regret the gift. Thanks for kick to get back on the blog.
Your UFO block is great. I really like those fabrics from your $5.00 block. I wish a shop in my area did that.

I have discovered a wonderful product to use when you're afraid of dyes bleeding out of your fabrics. Hopefully this link will post for you. Buy them at the grocery store and your trouble are over!

I always love your UFO posts...it reminds me to think about mine! And I wish I had washed fabric from a few BOM quilts...now I'm afraid to ever wash them since I'm sure the fabrics will run! Also...has there ever been a UFO you decided you never wanted to finish...I have one of those and feel so guilty!
I think your UFO is delightful and I can't wait to see it completed.
Great fabrics for the $5 BOM - pretty.
