Some of This; Some of That - Missing in Action
Yes, I've been missing in action, because I have been busy doing quilty stuff each day except two and coping with the rest of life. So for the past four weeks, my productivity has been 87%, 100%, 87%100% for an average of 93.5%. That's my 15 Minutes to Stitch report.
As to the destash - not so good as all I'm working on is not that big. These hexies
with 2" sides take about a 4.5" square for each of them. The 20 I've made only add up to a little over a 1/4 yd. or 0.27 yd. I made a pillow cover for a friend. That took 0.21 yd. Then I made Arrow Rock Sampler blocks - that took 0.18 yd and 0.13 yd to give me 0.79 yd. Then I got rid of a piece of yardage - though I loved the colors - it was gauze when I finally examined it for another 1.14 yds for a grand total of 1.93 yds out. So my YTD total is 35.98 yds. If I make it to 50 by year's end I'll be happy with half of my goal accomplished in this crazy year.
So here are some photos:
All the sampler blocks on my design wall:
The Hexie bits and pieces joined to center - deep blues and blues and yellow new:
This is getting too big to photograph without climbing up on a ladder. I'll try it on the design wall next time.
And the pillow case - fused a handkerchief to the top of the pillow top, and quilted it, sewed the back and front together. Pretty fragile hanky.

Some of This; Some of That 9/7/20
Played with fabric every day for at least 15 minutes - 100% for 15 Minutes to Stitch
Made blocks for the sampler and the hexi project using 0.25 yd bringing me to a YTD total of 34.05 yds.
So here are the photos:
The Hexi project (check previous posts for info on the QAL):
I've added the flower on the left and then I started on the latest section with the two dark blue and yellow hexies you see here. Again it took me forever to decide on the fabrics. Now I only have to make 10 more during this week to be caught up - hahahahaha.
The other project I worked on was the sampler. I realized as I was lamenting how far behind I am that I actually have all the pieces for row one. To make me feel better, I put that row together. Ahhhh.
Why did I start two projects at the same time?? Just crazy I guess - I'm going to blame COVID for it.
So this is what my design wall looks like:
