Thursday Tales

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.

Some of This; Some of That

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:  

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%

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.
