<span style="font-size: large;">That same day I saw Beth's <a href="http://www.lovelaughquilt.blogspot.com/2014/11/monday.html">churn dashes in plaid</a> over at Love Laugh Quilt, and I couldn't help making a few for her project too:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My <a href="http://lovelaughquilt.blogspot.com/2012/04/half-log-cabinfree-style.html">half log cabin</a></span><span style="font-size: large;"> quilt is done, and just needs a hanging sleeve before it goes into our guild show in 2 weeks. I named it "Hawaiian Memories" because it was made from leftovers of all the benefit quilts we made from donated Hawaiian fabric. This is also a benefit quilt, so I will be saying aloha and happy travels to it....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Another one done and ready to go into the show. I made this to test out <a href="http://www.risingstarquilters.org/handouts/basket-weave2014.pdf">my basketweave pattern</a> for the February benefit workshop. It was hard to limit myself to only 5 fabrics, but it certainly came together faster than my usual scrappy mess.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Melissa and I laid out <a href="http://quiltville.blogspot.com/2005/06/scrappy-trips-around-world.html">scrappy trips blocks</a> at the September benefit workshop. It was her great idea to turn the blocks so the lines of black squares made a much more interesting pattern. You can see what it looks like all sewn up over at her blog <a href="http://blog.scrappystitches.com/">Scrappy Stitches</a>. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My goal this year is to COMPLETE projects.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some projects are currently a collection of fabrics in a box or bag. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been collecting stripes, with the idea of using them in a simple project like <a href="http://www.redpepperquilts.com/2011/04/seashells-by-seashore-finished-quilt.html">this</a> or <a href="http://www.redpepperquilts.com/2012/12/a-custom-quilt-in-stripes-part-2.html">this</a> from Red Pepper Quilts.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Some projects are just a bag of scraps waiting to be used. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Check out this tutorial: </span><a href="http://ellisonlane.com/2012/10/improv-log-cabin-tutorial-scrappy-stash.html" style="font-size: x-large;">monochromatic improv log cabin</a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">and then take a look at this scrappy</span><span style="font-size: large;"> inspiration from Lori:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Started with 2.5" strips, light and dark. Half of the dark strips are blue, half are red. (Some of the dark blue ones might be green or black, to add to the mix.) Sewed pairs of dark and light strips together, and then cut strip pair into 4.5" blocks. Made a lot of these blocks. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Sewed blocks together as shown below.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wanted a red zig and a blue zag, so I was careful about my </span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">placement of red and blue.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So far I have made 30 of these larger blocks. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">(Aiming for a good-sized bed quilt.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Next step, put them together....</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This quilt is based on <a href="http://www.maryquilts.com/new-two-rail-fence/">Mary's two-rail fence</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">(Started last Monday)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Another benefit quilt in process:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">From Hawaiian fabric (leftover from our last benefit bee workshop), and solid white, I have been making <a href="http://lovelaughquilt.blogspot.com/2012/04/half-log-cabinfree-style.html">Beth's freestyle half log cabin</a> blocks. They use up a lot of scraps and are fast and fun to make. Both colored and white strips are various widths, from 1" to 2.5" and the unfinished block measures 8.5". I kept the block roughly squared up as I went along. Sometimes the outside row was colored, and sometimes white.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So far this measures 39" x 39"----I think I'll make more blocks to make a more generous sized baby quilt.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After cutting again, turning the blocks around seemed more interesting, so I abandoned the starburst and went with the idea of a wonky square in the middle.</span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What do you think of this for a doll quilt?<br />
It's 18 x 18.<br />
Does it need more blocks?<br />
Does it need borders?<br />

I have so many undone and I'm feeling stuck. I had the big idea of making up a batch of doll quilts from the leftovers of my larger projects, so I'd have something done. In order to test out the pattern I wrote for a twin-size split rail fence block quilt for the guild's benefit night last week, I made up the following top. Colors don't really show well here, it's very light and cheerful.<br />
