Friday Finish

Actually it was a Wednesday finish (sorry for the blurry photo):

This is a St. Anne's baby quilt, and another scrap bag creation.  I added the outer border, quilted and bound it. This top was made by another St. Anne's member.

I just love the scrap squares that were in that bag. Such cute novelty fabric.

Some of This; Some of That 10/6/19

Sandwiched a baby quilt top - used 1.25 yds.  Finished a WIP top - used 0.25 yds.  Worked on the Seedling Quilt QAL - used 0.25 yds.  My new YTD total is 49.09 yards destashed.

Worked every day this week on quilty stuff!  So I know I have 7 of 7 days this week (100%) for 15 Minutes To Stitch 2019. And also 5 of 5 days so far this month (100%). I have no idea where I"m at for the year as I missed so many weeks of reporting.

Now for the finished WIP:

This is a pattern from Kay Mackenzie's Scrap-Applique Playground. I've had the book forever. When Lori of Humble Quilts chose to do a String Along, I decided I'd use some strings to make this sign for my sewing room. 

 Here's what I have left of those strings:  

I'm thinking of using them to bind this wall hanging. Do you find it hard to make them disappear? I do.

Linking to Oh, Scrap, Can I Get a Whoop, Whoop?, Sunday Stash, and others (see my tab above). Have a productive, quilty week my friends. Blessings to all.

Some of This; Some of That

Quilting a baby quilt - used a yard for the back.  Made 6 different blocks - used a total of 0.5 yd for those. Fussy cut a hexagon block - that only used 0.03 yd for a total of 1.53 yds. Not much, but that is much more than the zilch of last week - hehe. Net YTD out: 47.34 yards.

Here's that hexi block I made.  It's from Jodi Godfrey's new book, The Seedling Quilts.  She's having a QAL in October.  Here's her blog.  I would like to make all of the quilts, but that would be 11 more UFOs.  Instead, I'm going to make one block of each and make mini quilts out of them or maybe a sample.  I'll see.

After I cut out and prepped the pieces I sewed them together into a donut (as per Karen Howe's method at https://faeriesandfibres.blogspot.com/2014/03/sewing-hexagon-flower-video.html ) It makes it easy to audition centers and sew the pieces to the octagon with a continuous thread. I use Superior invisible thread to sew my EPPs together.

This is what it's going to look like when I've finished sewing in the center. Now to decide on a background.

I'm linking to Slow Sunday Stitching, Can I Get a Whoop, Whoop?!, Oh, Scrap (cuz this was made with two scraps), Sunday Stash , and Design Wall Monday. More parties under my tab above.

Blessings,
