Sponge Bob Quilt, and a Little More Shopping

 Welcome to Treadlestitches!  Thanks for stopping by!

Are you ready, kids?  I bet you can guess why I call this the Sponge Bob quilt!  This happy guy appears in the scrappy blocks and the border.

Most of the scraps, Sponge Bob and others, came from this pile given to me by the Amazing Colleen.

Some of the scraps were already cut into the right size for the middle of these Bricks blocks (3.5 in. x 6.5 in.).  It was easy to add the white pieces (cut 2 in. x 6.5 in.) to make 6 in. finished blocks.

I have made several donation quilts from this pattern.  This one measures 42 in. x 48 in. and will be donated to the Children's Advocacy Center in Milwaukee.

As usual, simple quilting finishes it off.

I used up almost all the Sponge Bob fabric with this strip on the back!  I love using scraps, and I really love using them up!  Don't worry, I have more lol.

On my way back from a family funeral, I stopped at Quilted Joy in Louisville, Kentucky.  It's a lovely shop, with very helpful staff.

Here's what I bought:  7 fat quarters, 3 fat eighths, and a jelly roll of rainbow striped strips.  I'm always looking for fun prints, especially in orange and purple, so I was glad to see the Halloween prints.  I have been looking for rainbow print.  I have an idea I may use to put together some of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge blocks.

There was also an antique mall on the way home.  I was intrigued by this block.

I loved this cute rail fence too.

Want to see something weird?  This is a rest area on I 65.  It looks more like a spaceship to me.  Or a modern Stonehenge?

The inside is also amazing.

I'm traveling again this week, going to visit my mom in Oklahoma.  I won't be quilting until I get back.  But there might be a little more shopping!

Have a good week, everyone, whatever you do.

Thanks for reading!
