Finish and go!

July was  a busy month and it looks 

like August will be the same!

The Saskatchewan quilts were 

well received and spread some joy 

and great feelings all around the province.

Now I am finishing up a quilt to take to 

family in Vancouver. 

This is the color block quilt using

white sashing around colored scrap squares. 

Some call them crumb blocks but these

have large pieces and often include parts

of previous projects. 

This one of my go to blocks to use up scraps

and get a great result every time!

You'll notice the parched looking grass. 

We've been under a water ban for

weeks now. A dry hot summer here!

This quilt is so much fun to make. 

It may end up on my remake list !

It resided on the design wall for some time and 

was even part of the design wall pile up for a while!

One difficulty I ran into  was pressing

 to the least amount of seams. 

I turned out to be a problem as 

all the colors showed thru the white sashing!

I had to unpin , aggressively  repress

and re-pin but it was so worth it!

I took advantage of the different colors to 

use a different free motion design for 

each different color of block. 

Part of this busy month is watching 

one of the family dogs (rental dog).

He did help with the photo shoot!

The quilt is bound with a scrappy binding made of 

left over block colors. 

I used 20" squares for the back. 

It really helps pare down the stash!

Doing the label today and then it 

is ready for delivery!

Stay safe and sew on!
