More This and That

Do you remember when I blogged about winning three giveaways in one weekend?  I received one of those in the mail today.  Here are the green and blue strings blocks from Allison,

and the extra strips are shown here.  Thank you again Allison!!!

I am done (for now) with my Waverunner quilt top.  The more I work on it, the better I like it.  However, I really need to put it aside for now and work on other projects.  At the moment it is about 40 inches square.  I can't decide if I should stop now or add more blocks to make it bigger.  What do you think?  40 inches is too big for a wall quilt (at least in my house) not to mention the colors don't go with my decor.  In our house, it's all about lap quilts for snuggling and TV viewing.  What do you do with this size?  I also thought about adding a very wide border to make it bigger, but can't picture a fabric that would work.

I needed a break from the coin quilts, so I started piecing a pumpkin table runner.  I realize I missed Halloween, but I'm thinking it might work for Thanksgiving.  I got the idea here.  This project has made me realize I don't have a lot of orange fabric.  We are FSU Seminole fans here and tend to avoid that Gator orange;-))

And, last but not least, I am giving away prizes to the seven people who commented on yesterday's post. This giveaway is to celebrate my 50th post, Thanksgiving...which is only a week away... and to share my good fortune of being on the receiving end of giveaways lately.  Thelma, Mary, Dee, Susan, Cara, Marls and Penny look for an email from me today.  I need to revise my prize idea....I wasn't expecting seven commenters yesterday....Wonderful Wednesday usually only rates a couple ;-))  Also girls, hope you don't mind if I get your prizes to you the Monday after Thanksgiving....things are just a little crazy around here trying to prepare for that big day.

Have an amazing day!!!
