And here's StormQuilt #10, a heavy utility blanket made out of a bunch of worn-out t-shirts. It's completely done, albeit a bit... you know... ugly.

I decided to see if I could make a one-day blanket on Saturday. I used the same big box of corduroy that the material from the Mondrian and SQ#11 is from. I couldn't quite finish it, but it only needs a few more hours' work now.

Mrs5000 bought the big box of flannel for a buck at a yard sale, and there's still at least one more quilt's worth left. At 25 cents per blanket, it's a pretty good price for fabric.
Then, I completely finished this one before taking a terrible fuzzy picture of it. It was kind of an experiment; I bought the same set of six fabrics as frequent L&TM5K commenter Jennifer, with the idea that we would both put a quilt together and see how similar or dissimilar they ended up.

Clearly, we are peas in a pod:

Strangely, I'm not the only one to have finished up a quilt in Castle5000 lately! Honorable Vice-Dork Emeritus Rebel finished this quilt while she was staying with us over the holidays. It's awesome.

Also on the Creative Front...
Many of you will remember Phineas, who was a regular around these parts a while back and a major player in the Monday and Thursday Quizzes. He's deeply into the food thing these days, and writing about his culinary adventures at http://www.beabettercook.blogspot.com/. And to keep things really interesting, he's in the process of trying out for some kind of cooking-related reality television show. We'll keep you informed.

M5K,
Thanks for the shout. But more importantly, I must have the Mondrian quilt. How awesome. Name your price.
Phineas
Yay for quilty goodness!
Your yellow quilt looks like a bunch of stethoscopes. And as I mentioned, I really like the latest storm quilt, and know of a home where it would be well loved. =)
@Rebel: But you didn't say "name your price."
Wow ... those are some interesting and vividly colored quilts.
Yeah... there's a reason for that. No buying quilts until I have a... you know... J.O.B.
