Well, lots of progress this week,
even the geese are getting things done.
Some more organization came into the sewing room,
as well as some more items that need
to be organized (that's another story).
41/2-in sashing strips for the sashed colour
family crumb quilt, are well underway.
Now I'm moving on to the eight and a half inch outside border.
This border is also low volume crumb pieced.
I have lots of pre-existing crumb squares,
mostly done on long winter evenings in snowy Alberta.
Once I get the borders and sashing done,
it should go together very quickly.
Halfway thru and the bin is empty!
However a glean of one big scrap bin
yielded a wealth of low volume bits,
a great restock!
to enlarge the Hopscotch that's currently
taking up space on the design wall.
Otherwise, I'll start layering it up
and before I know it, there will be six layers
of partial tops on the design wall.
Onward and into the scrap bin I go!
Stay safe and sew on.

I love your crumb strips! Will the quilt be all low volume? If so it's going to be so lovely and calming. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
