Some of This; Some of That 7/12/20

Hello, Friends and Readers.  How are things for you during these past few weeks.  We're starting to stay home more as the COVID-19 cases start to go up again.  And being home I try to keep to my 15 Minutes to Stitch challenges but some days I just don't have the energy.  So I've decided to change my reporting way just so I will DO it.  This week I did my stitching on 5 days so that's 83.33%  (my weeks are six days as Sundays I'm taking a rest) working in the sewing studio.  And that's my report - more simple than before and more likely for me to do it.

As to destashing,  I used a half yard to start binding my UFO.  Finally done quilting it!  That Crab Quilt Along I was doing has finished. Made four 6.5" blocks, so I used .612 yds this week. My YTD total is now 13.47 yds.   I decided to do a wall hanging in place of a bed quilt with a ton of little crabs.  You can go here to see what others were doing:  https://faithandfabricdesign.com/feeling-crabby-crab-quilt-quilt-along .

Here's the center of my version.  I still need to add two borders.  It will be a challenge because I want to only use what I have in the stash.

I'll see what I find - have so many places to look.

That's it for today.  Hope to sandwich a baby quilt for St. Anne's but nothing happening there as we can't meet yet.  Stay safe and wear a mask, please.

I'm linking to 15 Minutes to Stitch, Design Wall Monday - cuz that crab collection is still on my DW, and Sunday Stash Report.  See you there.

Testing the new blogger.

Hmmm.  Now that Gretchen told me where to find the new post button, I'm trying it with this test post.

As I was searching for neutrals of the beige kind, I found this square.  I'd like to make a medallion quilt out of it.  It is 12 1/2" square.  Suggests for the next round, please??

Some of This; Some of That - 6/21/20

Hello, a day late but here I am now.  Keeping busy as usual.  I mailed a signature block to a friend who is collecting them - I forgot to take a photo.  Also made a block for the Facebook group - Quilt Block Lottery - took the place of Block Lotto.  Here's the June Block:

Finished Month One blocks of the Arrow Rock Sampler.

Month Two arrived and I've started the first block - will have to make 5 this month.

Figured out how I want to lay out my crab quilt.  Here's the first row I made:

I worked on my secret project also, and finally started quilting the border of that UFO. I might have it done by the next post - that would be great!

As to 15 Minutes to Stitch:

15 minute days/week = 3/7 days

15 minute days/June = 16/20 days

15 minute days/2020 = 145/171 days

Success rate = 84.79%

And for destashing used 0.3 yd for those blocks - all scraps which gives me a YTD total of 12.86 yds .

What have you been up to?  Leave me a comment and I'll come by and see.  Linking to Design Wall Monday, Sunday Stash Report, and 15 Minutes to Stitch.   Blessings to you all. Please wear a mask and stay safe.
