Make-A-List Color Mondays: Memorial Day

Let's just go over that crazy, what-was-I-thinking list from last week (and what I did instead!):

• Sew 27 Flowering Snowball Blocks (I need 81, and I've got 14 so far) - I'm up to 26. Here's a progress shot:

• Finish the 80s Sew Together Bag for a swap - done, blogging this week
• Cut and sew a Geometric Bliss Needlebook for a swap (gotta ship on the 1st!) - almost done with four of them!
• Cut and sew panels for two weekender bags - saw The Avengers instead (date with the husband!)
• And sew together my Flower Sugar pillow shams  - done and ready to quilt

So here are my plans for this week:

• Finish those dang Needlebooks!
• Weekender bags, now that I've seen The Avengers
• And more Flowering Snowball blocks

Now, for the color palettes this week.

I'm a true-blue, dyed in the wool, proud to be an American (singing with Lee Greenwood right now in my head) kind of girl. Both my grandfathers were U.S. Marines. Two of my brothers were U.S. Marines, and my husband was U.S. Air Force. Memorial day is a special day for our family. 

So I chose Memorial Day as the theme for our color palettes. I recognize that not all of you who play along are from the U.S., but that's okay. I hope you love your country, wherever that his. And here's the spot to show it! After you watch Ray Charles sing my favorite patriotic song. Well, one of them. I have lots.

This awesome Marine Sniper is my baby brother. Kinda love this kid a lot.

My favorite flag.

Happy Memorial Day y'all. Link on up!
