Whooping it up on Friday

All my H2H quilts are washed and ready to be shipped out on Saturday!  So I've just been playing now that I got those done.  I made a four more NYBs for Center of my universe (the EQ7 file and a picture can be found here).  Here's the center (blocks not sewn together yet)

This really is the center of Center of My Universe

And I was pretty excited when I saw that.  I had to see how the stars were going to look, and I liked those to!!  Made me want to get busy and start whipping up a gazillion NYBs :)  Well I'll get them done sooner or later, I only have 84 more to go :) Yep, long term project.  But it's fun to play.
Here's one of the stars from Center of My Universe
And will ya look at what I found in my sewing room when I got home from work, what a sweetheart my husband is :)  He thinks I'm in love with jelly rolls because of the incredible binge I went on earlier this year, what a sweetheart.  He even knows to check the bargin basket and picked up a couple of fat quarters out of there.   So now I have the day off today and I'm just gonna play in the sewing room before the kids get here for the weekend.   Do I make some more of those NYBs or do I play that yummy jelly roll, it's good to have choices :)

Bday goodies
And there's a giveaway party going on over at SewMamaSew and here's what I'm giving away, somehow I ended up with two, so one's for you :)  Simply Amazing Spiral Quilts. There's a CD with the templates as well.  It's a great book.  Just leave a comment if you'd like a chance to win.  The winner will be randomly drawn on 5/25 7 PM CS. You can find it  here

Linking up with Show off Friday , Sarah's to see what everyone else is whooping about, and Sew Many Ways, there's always some great inspiration there at all these places.

  8. Love your NYB to be. It's one of the patterns on my bucket list.

    What a considerate hubby you have! Mine allows me to go to the store; it's not the same.
    Hugs!

  10. Those NYB blocks are gorgeous. I'm not surprised you're tempted to whip out some more.

    What a lovely pressie. What fabric is the jelly roll? I really like it, which is saying something as I'm not big on prints.
