Project Simplify - Day 10
April 21, 2011 Hello everyone!
First, my apologies for yesterday if you were unable to see pictures. I fixed the problem. Hopefully it won't happen again. (Remember, I'm a techno-doofus.)
Now, meet "Little Lady" in all her Easter-y, Spring-y, girl-y lovliness. Isn't she pretty?
My assistant named this quilt after I told her the one in the book was called "Little Man". At first, she wanted Little Girl but it didn't take her long to figure out the whole Man vs. Lady thing. :)
Here's her back side. 
I actually used up every last piece of fabric from the bundle (halleluiah!) and had to dig into my scrap bin to complete the back. Maybe someday I'll even be able to close the lid on that scary overflowing can.
Stash Redux:
- Yardage - 4.7 yds / 4.3 m
- Weight - 1.4 lbs / 1.6 kg
And I forgot to add the giveaways from Chapter 1 so that's another:
- Yardage - 8.9 yds / 8.1 m
- Weight - 3 lbs / 1.4 kg
For a grand total of:
- Yardage - 21.7 yds / 19.8 m
- Weight - 7.8 lbs / 4.6 kg
I've decided to donate this quilt to my friend's literacy fundraiser. I already made this quilt in different colors for her and I think it'll be fun to have the same quilt with two interpretations at the event. They have very different appeal and hopefully will attract twice the bidders!
The fundraiser is just a few weeks away on May 6th so I'll let you know how much money they raise ... unless they only go for $5 ... then I'll lie and tell you they were stolen.

It's a beautiful quilt!! Love your fabric choices. You won't have any need to fib! :-)
Your quilts will not go for only $5 you silly girl! They are beautiful and I love the name your daughter gave this one. Keep up the great work....I am anxiously awaiting your next creation.
Lovely!
Soooo "perdy" ... we're so grateful that you're doing this for us!!
It's soooooo beautiful!! I'm in love with it!! I can safely say this quilt will be loved and cherished for years to come!
Oh the loveliness of this quilt makes it worth a MILLION dollars...and all for such a worthy cause. You are such an inspiration. Both in your talent and in your heart. I look forward to each and every quilt!!!! XXX
hahahaha, I don't think you have any thing to worry about. From what I've seen, I'm pretty sure these quilts will fetch a pretty penny. I'm so jealous that you're able to make such beautiful quilts from your stash!!
Beautiful! I love the fabrics.
What an excellent cause to donate the quilt to! (yes, I clicked on the link!). It is soooo pretty, and is bound to raise lots of money.
Absolutely gorgeous! :)

I am loving your blog. I just happened upon it, and have sat for a good hour reading the whole thing : )...
No, I know what you are thinking . . . I am a "crazy" person; I assure you I'm not, just loving all the beautiful colorful quilts, and witty writing style. I have giggled out loud more than once.
Thanks for sharing the smiles.
Hugs,
Jen
Hmm...little man eh? What are the chances of you making a blue quilt as you venture on your journey? I'll probably have to buy the fabric for you as I haven't seen many blues in your stash.

Oh my goodness! It's gorgeous! :)
