What Goal For April?

 Well,  It's time again for some more 

stroller quilts and finishing up some

 projects hat have been waiting for a while.

Lots of Dickens (Orphans) blocks

need to be used up or shipped out.

This is all in the spirit of "Soon to be Spring" cleaning!


First up is going to be the 

Swimming Upstream fish top.

I certainly made way too many

 blocks when I did this a few years ago.

These are extra blocks?

I think I really needed more variety 

and that's why I ended up with so many extras.


This quilt was all planned out at one point in time,

But I obviously didn't take a picture, 

so I had to come up with a new idea.

The very soft colored yellow should help 

unify the delicate center and bring it all 

together. 

Lastly will be the random squares 

that were lurking everywhere. 

They all went on the wall and this is 

what came out.



Five by five colour square blocks
will be alternated with  guitar print
Squares to make a nice size stroller quilt.


The remaining larger blocks will be put 
together in columns alternating
with 16 smaller blocks.



A dotted medium brown fabric
 will be used to unify 
with alternating strips between the vertical columns


That should keep me busy
for the rest of the month of April!
Happy stitching!

    1. Oh, some of them don't play well together. They get put in the discard pile! Someday they will find their purpose!
