Like many making mask for family and others:
Also working on baby quilt top doing the units needed as leaders and enders:
Two horizontal borders done.
How are you doing sheltering in place? We're managing so far. Prayers this is over before summer.

Made a little progress on my Kitty Cucumber quilt (.05) and made a back for my 50% Challenge - 1.73 yds. for a total of 1.78 yds destashed. My new YTD destashing is 6.07 yds. Nearly 3 times as much as last week - not bad. Have you destashed anything?
Here's the back I made:
Here's the back I made:
Bet you can guess what the theme is on the front.
Sewed every day so I'm good on my 15 Minutes to Stitch for 2020.
15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
15 minute days/March = 13/14 days
15 minute days/2020 = 66/74 days
Success rate = 89.19%
15 minute days/2020 = 66/74 days
Success rate = 89.19%
Because of the Pandemic, have plenty of time to quilt this coming week as we older Californians are suppose to self isolate at home and that's what we're doing. If you want to see for yourself why this works, go here. So I hope to finish that Kitty baby top, start quilting my 50% challenge and work on a UFO. How about you?
Some of This; Some of That
Put in my 15 Minute to Stitch 2020 six days last week. That brings me to
15 minute days/week = 6/7 days
15 minute days/March = 6/7 days
15 minute days/2020 = 59/67 days
Success rate = 88.06%
I worked on a baby quilt top and used 0.16 yds for a part of a border. I made that entry into the blog hop for another 0.48 yds. The rest of my time I was quilting my No Greater Love quilt top. So I've only destashed a total of 0.64 yds to bring to a YTD total of 4.29 yds - pitiful. Way behind.
So, that top I worked on? It's my kitty cucumber one and here's how far I've gotten:
The square of fabric are really a lot lighter. I hit the auto correct button and it made them darker. Grrr. I didn't have enough of the mint Kona to go all around it, so I had to find the next best thing and it was a fat quarter that really is more similar to the Kona mint than it looks. Nothing is sewn down until I"m sure I have enough of green to go all around the center.

My Dust Off a Quilt Book Blog Hop Date is Here!
There were lots of projects for each season, and I still found some that once made my bucket list, however here is the one I chose:
I'm trying to make something for each season. This looked like something I would like for Fall. So decided to make a table runner of three blocks. One of the drawbacks to this book is that there are few instructions for each of them. I think that's how they got so many into the book. This quilt had three pages - the one above and these two:
So first block: the setting triangles I came up with were too small - back to the drawing board. Got it right on the second try and then finished my first block. All the fabrics were from my scrap pile except the large print that came from my stash - and dated from the 90s! To make sure I could true it up to 13 1/2" square I oversized the setting and corner triangles to make sure I had the correct seam allowance. So I made the first block and trued it up. Wrong - once I had the others made I realized I should have waited til I'd made all the blocks and trued them to the smallest one. So the first block became a place mat or a table mat. I'm still to decide.

The other two blocks became a table runner, and it's a good thing my error happened. Three blocks would have made a table runner too large for our coffee table.
I hope you're enjoying the blog hop - Bea has some giveaways, so hop on over. Here is the list of participants for the blog hop:

Hello, friends. My top is done! As a pattern tester for Faith and Fabric I was thrilled to make this Lenten quilt top which was just right for my expanding liturgical series of quilts. It really spoke to me. I'm naming it No Greater Love. The on-point blocks remind me of the hymn "O Sacred Head Surrounded" when we sing "yet angel-hosts adore thee, and tremble as they gaze." If you'd like to hear the hymn here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XppXi_jZKWk
I am now quilting it and have gotten this far:
Working on Golgotha today.
I quilted every day last week so 15 Minutes to Stitch is on track. Made 7 blocks for the Scrap Snappers so I'm good with that also and used 2.0 yards for my destashing what with the backs of a quilt and a table runner and those scrap blocks.. I also finished my blog hop entry for
Starts tomorrow and there will be prizes. My day is March 4th with two others sharing their work. I'm looking forward to what book the ladies picked and what they made. Come back Wednesday to see.
I did finally put that Kitty Cucumber baby quilt together, and it now resides on my design wall. I'll be working on the outside border when I take a break from quilting the top.
