I found some more little HSTs. These are all 30s repro fabrics.

I also found some vintage green triangles that matched, so I stitched them up.

Maybe this needs a bit of pink?

I’ve been doing g a bit of secret sewing and I just needed a bit of a break for some play.

Have a great day!

I have little bins all over the sewing room.

I opened it up to find a bunch of half square triangles.

180 to be exact!

Hmmm… what shall I make with these?

Have a great day!

I made another block and it looked good. The next morning, I looked again. Nope, nope, nope.

That’s better.

There will be days like this. I am just glad I noticed now.

Have a great day!

I decided to set that shirtings/wedge quilt aside for now. In the mean time, I got an idea for these.

It started with strips!

This is where I’m going here.

I love the woven look. This is based on a design from Moda BakeShop.

Yep, I like it already.

Have a great day!

I’m still playing around here. I decided to try a consistent background.

I wanted to try more colors and I’m moving toward all solids.

These are cut, but I need to find one more play time.

Have a great day!

I saw this lovely quilt at Goodwill last week. Such beautiful piecing. It broke my heart to see it there for only $12.49. I didn’t bring it home, I already have too many of my own.

It does make me think about what will happen to all of mine someday. I give many away, but still…. I think I may try to put together a post about places to donate quilts. But I’ll need your help. If you have any info, please share in the comments!

This made me laugh!

I told the dogs to get in their crates the other day and this happened. Not exactly what I meant! 😂

A really good word. I’m hanging on to this.

Have a great day!

I opened my bin of old shirts. It always feels a bit like Pandora’s Box.

I had an idea using this wedge die from AccuQuilt. This die is no longer available.

This is where I was going with this.

This was my first layout. Eh.

Then I tried this. It’s just okay.

Clearly, I have more work to do. Have a great day!

Lori over at Humble Quilts is hosting another quilt along! I love these. She does a great job with instructions and keeping things moving. This quilt starts with 1 1/2” squares. I have a whole bin full!

While talking on the phone with my sister, I sorted out matching pairs.

And I’ve started stitching them into four patches.

I can’t wait to see what the next step is! Have a great day!

I finished sewing my blocks. This was my intended layout. It is a pattern called “Clippings” by Thimbles and Needles.

But I decided to play a bit with these units before committing.

I got lazy and didn’t finish this layout.

But it would be a good one to make it bigger. Otherwise, I’ll need to add borders to get it up to a good size for a baby quilt. Have to think some more.

Have a great day!
