Design Floor Friday - May's Friday Night Sew-In

Welcome to another edition of Design Floor Friday!!  I'm here to share the May meeting of Friday Night Sew-In.  My Pecking Order quilt was the first (and only) quilt to be laid out on the design floor.  I was preparing for an expansion project:

Sarah (on the left) worked on a new sweater, as friends chatted:

Cathy did a bunch of cutting:

Ann layered a quilt for Twin One:

Cathy brought this pattern for a friend:

Karoline did  a different kind of cutting.  Paper cutting for some cute invitations for a special party:

Ann smooths the layers to begin pinning:

Karen did some sorting for a new project:

Marian cut for tomorrow's quilt class:

Helena was here with the pieces and parts of her own Pecking Order quilt:

Ella spent the evening cutting for tomorrow's quilt class:

Linda is cutting for a scrappy version of tomorrow's class quilt:

There is a flaw in my plan for this evening's expansion project!!  The background is made up of a number of white on black prints and I only brought TWO fabrics for the additional squares needed:

With one done, Ann pins the quilt for Twin Two:

LOOK, there is some ORANGE in the sea of blue for the RSC Quilters to enjoy:

Helena made some additional Pecking Order blocks:

I resorted to arranging some Bonus HSTs:

Karoline brought everyone am emery board from her recent trip to Paducah, which included an extensive Shop Hop:

It is SEW good to be able to hang out with quilty friends:

Karen made progress on a special T-Quilt:

Here I am with scrappy block number one:

Here is a close-up of the block:

I also put together a small scrappy pincushion to be stuffed later:

Lining things up for block number two:

Snacks, anyone??  The M&Ms are over at Joy's table:

Block number two needed added variety, as the components were too "matchy-matchy" in the previous incarnation:

A few more changes and I was ready to sew:

Shades of ORANGE for Marian's class quilt:

See... TWO blocks:

Perhaps, Helena could refresh my memory concerning the following oh-so-unflattering photo.  In my defense, it was late:

This photo was to show that the blocks use 36 HSTs, but aren't much bigger than my hand at a finished size of 6 inches: 

Special thanks to Ann for getting us all together!  It makes for a wonderful evening.

Until next time...
SEW the night away!!!
