Two things: Like Barbara Black, I'm looking for another life-time leader and ender, And I'm considering one that consists of (792) 2 3/4" log cabins. Now that's teeny. So am I crazy or what? I'm going to prep another one and see how it works as a leader and ender. The quilt is in the book, A Bouquet of Quilts, edited by Jennifer Rounds and Cyndy Lyle Rumer. These are 9 projects from the magazine, Quilt Japan. I'd like to make all of them. But that's not realistic.The other involves my Create your own BOM This month I was to work on my Anna's Garden by Lori Smith. I have to
make 4 of these:
for a 9 1/2" block so they must measure 3 1/2" square. Another small block. My problem is I cut the pieces exactly as the pattern called for, sewed scant 1/4" seams, and lost my points when I trued it up to the required 3 1/2". What did I do wrong? Using scraps, made another - this time I cut the white large triangle and the bottom brown triangles an 1/8" bigger, and left the other measurements the same. That gave me two correct points but messed up the other three. I looked online for any corrections and found nothing. Arggh. Then I tried making those smallish HSTs in the center a 1/8" smaller and I got three points correct, but the two at the top would be way off. Sigh. Any one have a suggestion? BTW - these three tiny blocks are the only thing on my design wall. That means minuscule progress this month on my BOM, but I did begin on the prepping of another applique block for that quilt. |

As to 15 minutes to Stitch 2019, I was able to stitch every day - yeah! Stats are
15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
15 minute days/March = 28/30 days
15 minute days/2019 = 86/89 days
Success rate = 96.66%
15 minute days/March = 28/30 days
15 minute days/2019 = 86/89 days
Success rate = 96.66%
Finally, I've started the quilting on that sandwiched UFO. It's for the Guild's 50% Challenge. We have to finish a quilt we're 50% done on. This is the first block completed after the SITD quilting:
I'm linking to Oh, Scrap, Sunday Stash, 15 Minutes to Stitch 2019, and Design Wall Monday as well as Monday Making. How did you do - quilty wise - last week? Blessings,
Wow, that is a tiny block! But I bet the finished quilt will be amazing. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
ReplyDeleteYou've got some tiny blocks there. The log cabin should be a fun L&E. Congrats on finding time to stitch each day this week. All your quilting stats look awesome.
