National Support your Local Quilt Shop Day

I have no idea if anyone will check this, but just wanted to share a cute story about what happened at my local quilt shop today.
I went in to support the day, and basically 'cause they had fat quarters on sale for $2 each - simply can't resist. As I went to check out, the gal asked me if I was putting a project together or "enhancing my stash"! I thought that was a great line! Makes stash building sound so elegant! As I left she told me to enjoy my "stash enhancement"! Great fun - and yes, I found some beautiful fat quarters!

Easy Street pics - trying again






Got it to work! Whew! I really have been working on these! 

Didn't realize tonight was the last night to show progress on Easy Street, for some reason I thought I had till Sunday! Oh well, here's the little bit I have done. I've finished the four corners, have 5 Block A's complete and only 1 Block B. Have finished 4 of the triangle pieces. I'm making slow progress, but at least I'm making progress!
I laid these few pieces that fit together on my bed. Not sure if you can tell anything, but I'm amazed at how these blocks fit together! Bonnie - you're incredible! Thanks for a fun experience. I'm proud of myself that I have followed through on my first mystery quilt, and that you chose to do and easier one this year so I didn't get frustrated! Enjoy what little I have to show - and I have loved seeing other's creativity and talent! What a great group!
Happy New Year to all and may many blessings come to you this year.
