crafty tuesday and a scrappytripalong update

Crafty Tuesday should have been last Tuesday. But alas, it was New Years Day and I didn't figure my friends would want to leave their festivities to join me for crafting. Sigh. So we moved it today. Trae, Melissa and I had a wonderful time, made a great mess, ate a great lunch and accomplished much....
 After they left I couldn't stop making scrappytripalong blocks. Twenty blocks FINISHED! After I took this picture I sewed them into rows. Tomorrow I will sew the rows together. Many people are making 36  blocks. I want to be able to quilt this on my machine and I thought that might be a bit too big for me to finagle. This will be the perfect size! I think I will add a small solid border to frame it out. Something dark (and solid). Navy blue? Dark green? Red? I'm not sure yet. Stay tuned.

Oooh, love your scrappy trippy quilt. I've been meaning to - honest - but frankly, I'm not really motivated to do anything... I hope I get out of this funk soon. Meanwhile, I'll just admire yours!
