Sew weekend let me get some work done on my greens!
But.. I realized I was measuring the blocks a little crooked!
A quick trim and I am back on track!
34 right slope are ready , only 14 more to go and then
48 of the left.
All my pre-sorted green strips are gone
so I will have to hit the scrap bins!!
Sew weekend is going great!
Getting lots moving and having a great time!
finished the stretched star flimsy!
Stay safe and sew on !
Linking up with :
Another sew day coming up so
I am pulling out all the goodies to work on !
First up is an old project ( 2010)
Lots of little squares! I used
quilter's fuse to make the large blocks
of squares. They need a little
sashing and then I can join up to
the alternate blocks.
A lot of finishes this week!
I even got them all de threaded!
We had cold weather , but lots of sun for a photo!
They are not shipped yet. I need to visit
as few more liquor stores to find a bit larger box!
Finished 5 crib/baby quilts ! Yay!
Wow another list to do and I love lists!
Checking off this week:
~Sandwich the purple coin quilt X
~Sandwich the pink, 1, 2 and 3! X
~Start a Green braid 1/2 X
I even impressed myself!
Spent a bit of time with child care, since the climbing child is
mountain skiing this week. Then took a whole day to
hang out in the sewing room and ,
"GET THINGS DONE".
First one up was the little pink quilt stack.
It has been a great week,
hanging out with toddlers and
enjoying spring sunshine!
Even had the rent-a-dog visiting while
the climber is mountain skiing!
Adventurous children make for
great memories and good stories!
Met a robot granny this week.
An egg shaped seat that is on a pedestal and
baby didn't mind! Progress?
Not sure about that!
Green trumped the pinks and yellows this week
and I fired up the featherweight to churn out
some rectangular blocks.
23 units are ready for a chevron green top!
Only 85 more to go! I only worked
on right hand blocks so there are some
turned over in the photo to
show the final layout.
Working on finishing the baby
quilts for mail out next week.
No vaccine for me yet, I am still too young!
Truly the only time youth has been a detriment!
Stay safe and sew on !

Anyone else find themselves
with a favorite pattern they repeat?
I don't think I am in a time loop but I have at
least 4 patterns I like and repeat just because they
are fun and beautiful, very good reasons!
Also, I make them for myself but someone
always seems to have a quilt worthy occasion.
Weddings top the list , but also :
new houses, babies, degrees, and birthdays.
First one, Green Log Cabins.
I've made this one 3 times and once as a
baby quilt.
Next up , one I call a Lattice block, found in
a McCall's Quilting (by Ann Weber) .
Two queen size and three baby sized!
I still have about 2 rows worth of blocks
left so when I need some sewing fun, I may make another!
It is such fun to look at ! It showcases
beautiful fabrics so nicely!
Then a really fun strip rainbow bed quilt.
three times queen sized , a variation queen
and 1 baby quilt.
The patterns are just so much fun!
I always have a few blocks left over so
I just make more blocks and do another quilt!
The quilts don't live nearby or together so I feel just
fine spreading out these beautiful patterns.
The last repeater ( or the last I will admit to!!),
is the stretched star!
I made one for my sister when her son was born.
I was home for a visit and it was on a bed,
looking very rough and well used.
What a great result!
Loved and used to the end.
The blocks were 4 inch square!
She will probably get this remake for her
birthday. We can hope it get as well loved
as the last !
