August Mini

 My August mini is called

No Rhyme nor Reason

33" x 33"

I noticed there has been several bloggers, like Barbara

of Quilts, Gravestones and Elusive Ancestors   

have been doing some tidying up of little bits and pieces

that had been accumulating.

I try and do the same thing as I end up with

small pieces leftover from a current project,

precutting different sizes of squares and strips.

Lately, I had even gone so far to sew some of the squares

into hst's with no plan in mind.

I thought, I probably should do something with them.

With a pile of quilt books

and a pile of hst's 

I found a pattern in 

Beyond the Battlefield 

by Mary Etherington and Connie Tesene

There was no event or plan or reason for choosing

this particular pattern, 

other than

I could use those half square triangles, 

it had some applique pieces,

and lots of red.

Add in some fun pinwheel blocks

and a flange binding and you've got a 

great combo.

Sometimes it important to

be a free spirit

and sew something 

for no rhyme or reason.

But speaking of a perfect combo....

"Garden fresh"

The garden is finally giving us some

perfect tomatoes.

Now go check out Wendy's blog,

The Constant Quilter

for more free spirited quilters.

Until Next Time-
