Second meeting of our Town Quilt Project

This afternoon, I was bound for the grange hall again, for the second meeting of our raffle quilt group.  (I finally thought to ask what we're raising money for, because that's probably important, but hey - we're making a quilt.  Who needs more than that?  Anyway, it's for the Kids' Summer Program, which is an excellent cause.)
Decisions were made for due dates, and there were stacks of fabric all over the table - some brought for sharing and some brought to be okayed for quilts.  (For several of them, this is their first experience with quiltmaking.  We who've been quilting a while welcome them to the Dark Side fold.
We're making 12" blocks using fall colors, with the pattern being quilter's choice.  I've already got one done (a star, of course) -

and my sister-in-law had two done, which I didn't think to get a picture of despite the fact I had my camera right in my pocket.  Duh.
The quilt is officially in motion, and somehow my sister-in-law, my cousin, and I ended up being the ones who'll do the sashing and assembly.  I'm not sure how that happened.  At one point, I simply found myself nodding my head in agreement, and that was that.
Hey, it's going to be fun, right?

So, meeting over, I headed for my studio to get a little sewing in.
I had to make this pig.  Just had to.

Is it just me, or does he look like he's wearing an earring?

And while I had that fabric out, I cut HSTs for my Jacks block

and for a Buckeye Beauty.

And what's one good Buckeye without another?

I occurs to me that if I was as organized as I pretend to be, I would have mentioned yesterday that whenever I've got that Easy Angle ruler in my hand, I cut some extra triangles to throw on the monkey pile.

Because with the weather getting warmer, the monkeys are starting to swarm again...
