NewFO Challenge

LOL - can't decide what to post - started several.  Think I'll post the new quick to make log cabin blocks with that trim tool I bought.  You can read about it here.   I also started a Urban Nine Patch block which came out not the right size, so it will be a quiltlet.  Then started a new VA quilt plus my new applique which is from Anna's Garden. Probably other stuff I started - just can't remember right now.

I did finish Alan's pillow (don't know if I reported that).  You can read about it here.  And one other finish I'm not sure I posted in NewFO is my carpenter star.

Stash Report 7/1/12

I was busy last week but with actual quilting on my FMQ, hand appliqueing, and embroidery.  I did make 2 blocks - pulled a 1 1/4 yards for my Urban Nine Patch and a 1/4 yard for another Log Cabin block.

Here are my numbers:
Used/Donated last week: 1.5    yards
Used/Donated YTD:      86.84 yards
Added/Bought last week:   0.0 yards
Added/Bought YTD:        33.5 yards
------------------------------
Net Decrease YTD: 53.34 yards   Not bad for the start of the second half of the Stash Busting Year!

FMQ Challenge/Project

Phew, got it done on the last day - my FMQ Challenge/Project ( I'm using my challenge project to also fill Leah's project as my days have been thrown out of wonk with my surgery earlier in the month) done for June!  I'm very pleased to say every bit of it was done by free motion.  I can hardly believe it my self - no markers, pencil, freezer paper or tissue paper or templates.  Thank you SewCalGal and Leah for motivating us with the great tutorials and to practice, practice, practice!  I'm linking at both of their blogs. Check out the great work done by others.
