Some of This; Some of That 5/12

Not much quilting this past week, so let's start with a few things I was able to do and liked. The river bottom one house over from us. It's flowering with wild mustard and the usual sounds we hear. Watch here.

Blooming in my kitchen garden:

While I was quilting the last charity quilt I figured out another way to use my walking foot.  It doesn't have holes on the side to attach a guide for straight lines.  My answer was painter's tape.

 I cut a strip of tape the length of the line I wanted to quilt. I sewed from one corner to the other.

When I got to the spot where I was going to pivot, I pulled back the tape and pivoted.  Pulled off the entire strip and re-positioned it on the next side and did that line.  Worked great.

The only fabric I destashed was the  0.20 yd I used for the binding and the 1.02 used for the back . New YTD total is 42.00 yds.

Here is the quilted top:

All the fabrics for the top and back were from my scrap bags.

The back was a tad small, so I added the last of that flower print from the from.

Quilted and bound:

Lastly, for the 15 Minutes in 2019:

15 minute days/week = 7/7 days
15 minute days/May = 11/11 days
15 minute days/2019 =  122/131 days
Success rate = 93.13%  

And for my design wall - that second medallion quilt is still the same.  No progress there, and I don't think there will be any this coming week as we will have out of state company and a quilt retreat to go to.  I'm linking to Oh, Scrap, Sunday Stash, 15 Minutes to Stitch 2019, and Design Wall Monday Monday Making , and Let's Make Baby Quilts  How did you do - quilty wise - last week?  Blessings!

My Second 2019 UFO Challenge Report

April is over and it is time for my second 2019 UFO Challenge Report.  I chose to give myself 2 months intervals to get things done, and it's kind of working more or less.  Here goes:

In my Create Your Own BOM, I'm one block behind but have managed to get 3 of the 4 almost done.

                First one - done; Second one - 2/3rd appliqued; Third one - ready to applique.

For the UFO challenge I was suppose to make the 4 patchwork blocks for that same quilt.
Got one unit of 16 units done - had to first figure out how to make an accurate 3 1/2" square that has 11 pieces.

one on right finally correct.

When all the units are done, it will be a 9-patch 9 1/2" block.  There are another 16 units of another configuration to make also.  Going to do this at the quilt retreat in two weeks.

Then in between this UFO work which had me so frustrated, I worked on another oldie.

This top was started in 2016 and finished that same year. Just needed quilting. It's for a family member. The blocks were from Pat Sloan BOW Winter Solstice to make Angela's RSC challenge of the same year. 

Then the charity quilts:

five scrap quilt tops while quilting the rainbow quilt.

Lastly, still working on that mini medallion quilt from scraps that's still on my design wall.

Some of This; Some of That 4/28/19

I've finished my medallion bunny quilt top. I've named it Bunny in the Garden.

Measures 36.5 by 38.5" . It will go to St. Anne's as a baby quilt for low-income mothers. I'm quilting it now.

Stash Report: I used  1.86 yds for this quilt.  Also used .20 yd for the other medallion. Added second quilt round.

Now measures 14.5 by 16.5"  - all from a scrap bag. That's it for fabric.  The new YTD total for destashing is  40.78 yds. 

Again didn't have time to post my likes on Thursday, but here are a few shots of my past week:

Another morning bouquet from DH's shade house

An empty carport - car at dealers for A/C work. Boohoo.

Primrose at their prime early one morning

I'm so happy that the car repair turned out to be only 1/10th of what we expected. Woohoo!

In the 15 minutes to Stitch, 2019 - I had one day without stitching this week.  New stats read:

15 minute days/week = 6/7 days
15 minute days/April = 23/27 days
15 minute days/2019 = 109/117 days
Success rate = 93.16%
