I've been sewing a little bit

I got back into sewing a little.  Today I made a rug, well almost done.  The instructions are on modabakeshop.com.  Since I wasn't sure if I could do it, I used Christmas fabric.  It's turning out okay, but not the greatest.  I think that instead of 'eye balling' the straightness of the rows that I would use a (gasp) ruler to make sure that it was straight.
Here is a picture of the not finished rug.  I need to trim it up and put a binding on it yet.

When I was in Arizona, I bought the Accuquilt Go! die for a log cabin block.  Joanns had 40% off so I made Bill go with me to get one.  I've used it to cut out 16 log cabin blocks.  Wow, it is so fast and easy to use.  Cuts every piece I would use in a block.

I'm also making a king size quilt for my son, per his request.  Since I had started a quilt before I left for Arizona, I thought that I'd use that for the center.  Then I made some Log Cabin blocks and put them around.

This is the sunflower that grew from the seeds the birds dropped from the feeder which is out of sight above the flower.

I know the date on the pictures are wrong.  I've reset it to the correct date but it keeps going back to this old date.  Maybe I need new batteries??

Thank goodness that it's almost May and that the April showers might go away.  Today is very overcast and with a little drizzle once in awhile.  I'm so ready for warmth.
