Lori at Humble Quilts is hosting another quilt along!
I knew it would be blues and neutrals, so I grabbed this roll of Laundry Basket fabrics at the garage sale I went to. You can see it circled in green below.
The cutting directions are posted, but it’s definitely not too late to join in.

Remember this?
I pulled it out because I needed something to work on during our quilt group meeting. So I got those six pieces added on the side.
Not much, but it has motivated me to get back to work on this old project!
Have a great day!
I saw a whole pile of these blocks at Goodwill recently.
They were all basted in prepared for the fancy hand stitching. I left them there for someone else.
My voting is done.
I took this fun pic at city hall when I was there to vote.
Some flowers blooming after the rain.
And a recent tumble.
Have a great day!
My tiny hourglass quilt is done.
Here is my inspiration quilt.
I used a simple muslin for the back.
My blocks finish at two inches. You can see the dimensions are different than the inspiration piece.
I like to use little quilts on my end tables instead of coasters. They are easy enough to wash.
Have a great day!
Here is a look back at a fun little quilt made with vintage blocks and fabrics. Enjoy!
Done! I’m glad these blocks didn’t sell after all! The grid quilting gives great texture. The first photos were taken before washing.
I used unbleached muslin for the backing.
Love this green for the binding, I’ll be so sad when it’s gone from my stash!
After I took these photos, I threw it in the wash.
Wa wa waaaaaa! I was very unhappy with that ruffled edge. I was about to redo the binding, but decided to try my iron trick first. That means, I ironed the quilt from the back using lots of steam.
Much better! Now, I quite love this little quilt, wonky though it may be. it has one more quirk that won’t be fixed. See that dark line on the back?
When I pieced batting scraps, I was using up bobbins. The green thread showed through. Doesn’t bother me. It isn’t exactly a ribbon winner.
The age stains in the blocks are better, but not totally gone. That’s okay too.
Have a great day
Mr. Wonderful alerted me to a local quilter’s garage sale last weekend. It did not disappoint!
I tried to practice restraint.
I picked up some pieces for the Humble Quilts QAL, some 30’s prints, some yardage, and a few charm packs.
Time to put it all away. Have a great day!
So I’ve been thinking about these….
Maybe I should do this….
But then I should make four more blocks. Then it would be square and would work on my round table.
I should ponder this more later tonight when I can’t sleep.
Have a great day!
Why, yes! Yes, it is! AccuQuilt has their big sale before Black Friday, which I find very convenient.
First off, save 40% on Accuquilt GO! Dies and Die bundles.
This is on my wishlist. I know, I know , I do not need another die cutter. But did you know that you can get a battery pack to go with the AccuQuilt GO! Bolt? That makes this an appealing option for taking to quilt club or in the RV.
Then we have all AccuQuilt Studio Dies half off!

The first puzzle I’ve finished in a long time.
I love this spicy little girl!
My siblings and I ordered this memorial bench in honor of our parents. It sits by the lake at their favorite park.
Yes!
This is good.
Have a great day!
