What to do this Summer

Are you bored?
Feeling like there's nothing to do?
Nothing to get excited about?
Do you have at least 12 different half yards of fabric just sitting around gathering dust?
Why not take a peek over at the Old Red Barn Quilt Along and hitch yer wagon to a star and get busy cutting some 2 1/2" strips- I found out about it over at Flickr and after reading the what for's over at Red Barn Blog I just had to sign up!
I don't make big quilts and this will be my first (if you don't count the one I have never finished from a class I took 2 years ago!) and if you don't want to do it, then you can just watch my progress as I quilt a long with everyone and share it here!
It's a 6 week project and I believe they are just beginning week 3.

 Week one was to gather your materials, week two everyone cut their 2 1/2" strips from half yards of 12 different fabrics.
This should be week 3, but it really doesn't matter- you could do it six months from now, well, except she is giving away a sewing machine!
Go read all about it- I have to go in search of a new machine myself-
Happy 1st day of June, y'all!
