Lots of progress has been made on this project! It’s amazing how much you can get done with a leader/ender project.

Now I’m pairing up each pieced block with a background square.

Now I’m all ready to start piecing rows.

Have a great day!

I forgot to share this with you all! When we were in Michigan visiting Daughter #3, we went to an antique mall. Michigan antique malls are wonderful! Hubby picked up this surprise for me!

Inside the bag was this! I had looked at it earlier, but he went back and bought it without me knowing.

I just love this color! The spool pin is bent, but otherwise it is in very good condition.

It even came with all the goodies.

I’m a lucky woman. He’s definitely a keeper. And the sewing machine is pretty sweet too.

Have a great day!

This box is chock full of 2 inch squares. I cut the solid squares early last spring in anticipation of making another quilt similar to this quilt.

First block done.

And then there were four!

The first quilt I made like this had 2 1/2 inch cut squares and these are cut 2 inches square. I think I’ll like these smaller blocks.

Have a great day!

The stop to see Dignity of Earth and Sky is a must if you are traveling on US 90 across the state.

It is HUGE!

We made the obligatory stop at Wall Drug. The water was good; the food not so much!

The most interesting thing was their library!

It was lovely. Check out the carvings!

Next up was the Badlands National Park. We were greeted at the entrance by this guy.

This was truly amazing and photos do not do it justice!

Have a great day!

Lots of travel with a bit of sewing summarizes this month! Still, I like what I got done. Two tops and a bunch of blocks.

This was a “prepared earlier” project that I shared this month. I knew I’d need some filler blog posts!

Have a great day!

Ta daaa!

My little quilt top finished at about 22 inches square.

It will eventually get a green binding.

If you are wondering how I hung this in the RV, I used this elastic clothesline with integrated clips. I love this thing! Might buy another for the sewing room.

Have a great day!

Since I shared my finished I Spy top last week, I thought I’d share this finish from last year that inspired it. This quilt was pieced from 2 1/2” cut squares. The I spy was made from 3 1/2” finished squares. Enjoy!

Finish It Up Friday ~ Leader/Ender

Posted on March 22, 2024 by katyquilts

I finished my leader/ender quilt.

I used an old favorite pantograph called Any Which Way.

I love the backing fabric. The sharks are so fun! It was supposed to be a sheet.

The binding was leftover from another project.

This last photo shows the truest color. 

This quilt will get donated to Project Linus. For some reason, my bin of 2 1/2” squares doesn’t look any emptier than when I started. 🤔

Have a great day!

I told you there was a lot to see! This post is all about the toys. 😊

This was such a neat display. The museum is housed in an old school building. As you open each locker, you see a toy and quilt or fabric from the decade written on the outside.

I hope this panoramic photo shows on the blog!

So much fun! Have a great day!

It’s coming together!

This was my inspiration quilt.

So far, so good! Have a great day!

After the I Spy quilt, I was ready to work on something smaller. This bin holds vintage 2” cut squares.

My plan is to make a small Boston Commons quilt, at least I think that’s what it’s called. Here is the center block.

And the start of the corners.

Have a great day!
