Stud is now...
Studio - my string project for Humble Quilts' string along.
more string elements to add - possibly some coloring, too.
Baby Quilts are Addictive
New babies mean new quilts. St. Anne's is always making baby quilts. We experimented with Jenny Doan's super easy hourglass video and made a few. Here's how I've laid them out. Another border of HSTs will finish it off:
All fabric used was scraps. The corners I just snowballed with a square that would give me the same size triangle as the light fabric in the hourglasses. The medallion was a donated square.
This one is for my neighbor. Half way done with the center.

Back to piecing. I'm linking to Oh, Scrap!, Finished or not Friday, Can I get a Whoop, Whoop?, and Let's Make Baby Quilts . Have a great weekend.
Some of This; Some of That 5/26
It's been a busy couple of weeks. I've had little time for a lot of stuff, but the end is in sight. Plus this ongoing cool weather and cloudy skies makes me glum. Does the weather do a number on you?
First a stash report. DDIL took 1.9 yds from my stash to make a quilt for her friend. I used .25 to make favors for the ladies at retreat - bookmarks. Then I made a sample log cabin with the new trim tool I bought - actually bought two - a regular 4" log cabin ruler and a curvy log cabin one. Works great as you just estimate the width of the strip and have no exact cutting to do except for the center square. Great for scraps. Here's my first 4" from scraps as a test and new YTD total is 44.15 yards.
In the slow stitching I'm finishing that Anna's Garden block - only have the purple flower now to finish hand stitching. Then there are more hexies to work on. Glad I got two more applique started on the road to prepping at the quilt retreat. I'll show those later.
On my design wall I have the start of another baby quilt - two rows so far. Here's the cute fabric Katy made a quilt out of and introduced me to this collection. It's by Riley Blake and called "Jeep".
This week I missed a couple of days of sewing - after three days of intensive sewing my quilting mojo is exhausted. So now the stats look like this:

15 minute days/week = 5/7 days
15 minute days/May = 24/25 days
15 minute days/2019 = 132/145
Success rate = 97.78%
Did you get to hand sew today?
