I need a name!

Hello fellow UnRulies!

I hope you all had a relaxing Memorial Day weekend. I have started a new wordy/unruly quilt and I need some help naming it. It was inspired by some fabric I hand dyed and then fell in love with. You can read all about it here if you would like but in the meantime here is a photo of the first four blocks.
The theme is Descriptive color words. Any ideas?

Snow in Hallowistmas Town

The weather up here on my mountain has been cold and snowy,as a result it is snowing in Hallowistmas Town too. I have made a couple more homes for Tonya's project and I am ready to send them off. I believe I have long since missed the deadline but I tried.

I wanted the one above to resemble a pumpkin...does it?

Have a sunny day for me ;0)

Hallowistmas Duplex

Hello Everyone!
My second attempt at a Hallowistmas house turned out quite well I think... It is a duplex or maybe just a two story house with a balcony.


The homeowners have put out a Halloween sign in celebration or maybe warning?.



Oh...and there is a festive banner/garland hanging from the side of the house.


The problem is the block is 10 1/2" by 15"... maybe it is a bit too big?

Here is my first Hallowistmas house! I am liking it... somewhat. I think I can get quite a bit more imaginative.



Yeah... I can do much better. Just gettin' goin'. J

Christmas bug!


Here's my Christmas bug! I think she is kinda cute although I intended for her to look like an exclamation point and I am not sure she does. What do you all think?

Bah done... onto Bug!

Hi everyone, I am Jennifer Dessert (pronounced like Desert).
This is my first post but not my first time participating in one of Tonya's fabulous challenges.I was lucky enough to be a part of "Cake" and I have made a few Unruly projects since then. Last night I decided it was time to jump in and attempt a Bah Humbug! Block. My first sketches are so bad I am too embarrassed to show you and boy... I sure had lofty ideas. It 'aint easy makin' bugs! I started with four fabrics, a bright red solid, limey green solid,a red calico and a dark green with light green dots.

My intention was to make the "h" have a buggy head but after making the Capital "B" I was too chicken to try. I may try again tonight on Humbug. I guess I have never made a capital B before...well I have now.


Not too shabby I think. Not too wonky either...hmmm. I need to learn to get "wonky wit it"! My block is 8 1/2"x 12 1/2", bigger than I wanted so I plan to make the Humbug smaller. A personal challenge ;0)
This morning I have this on my ironing board...
Can I do it? I think I can...I think I can. If not I can certainly try, try again! Have a UnRuly day!
