I left a bunch of of scraps here. They all got dumped together while I was trying to consolidate things. Today I decided to sort them out.
I have 2 inch squares.
1 1/2 inch squares.
And an assortment of half and quarter square triangles.
I need to decide on a design that I can use for my next leader/ender project.
Maybe I’ll just sew HSTs together while I think on it.
Have a great day!
Turns out, I only had 48 of these little HSTs. That’s okay. Time to figure out what to do with them.
I like this broken dishes setting.
But maybe I could turn them into blocks like this. I’m not buying anything and I don’t have many options for fabric to add.
Hmmmm….have to think some more.
Have a great day!
I used this little piece to practice some machine quilting ideas for a secret project. I washed it when I was done to see how it would look.
I needed a mug rug, so I cut it down and bound it.
It ended up just right. 😊
Here is the back.
Have a great day!
Mr. Wonderful and I moved Dora to a campsite about 45 minutes from our house.
It is lovely and quiet. We plan to stay there now and again until our house here is sold. The pups love it!
Meanwhile back in our Arizona neighborhood….,
File that under things I never thought I’d worry about!
There has been lots of work going on here at the house. I’m glad I didn’t go crazy with wallpaper. Taking it down is not fun.
These two came and joined me for morning coffee one day.
In other news….
Have a great weekend!
I almost didn’t finish this. I don’t love it, but I learned a lot making it.
Here’s a look at the back. I finished it with a facing.
I do love the texture and this kind of quilting was enjoyable to do.
I just wish I had done a bit more thinking before I started the quilting.
I’m glad I finished it. I like the composition and I learned a lot, so I guess that makes it a success.
Have a great day!
Since I’ve been playing so much with solids lately, I thought it would be fun to look back at a few others I’ve made in the past. Enjoy!
Have a great day!

I’m still working on piecing my Two by Four top together.
But I couldn’t resist playing with the leftovers from that top! Seriously, the scraps from one quilt lead to the next just like sourdough starter!
I think I’d like to add some large borders to this and quilt with perle cotton. The black looks good, but I might see if I can find anything else around here.
And believe it or not, I have more leftovers!
It never ends.
Have a great day!
That’s what I’ve decided to call this one. I finished the checkerboard pieces and debated about using gray or black for the background.
The black won. I did get the pieces cut.
And they are all arranged and clipped into rows for piecing.Probably one at a time.
Have a great day!
We have been working hard on the house, which leaves less sewing time than I’d like. But sew I must, for my sanity. I thought I’d share a bit how I’m getting this project closer to the finish line in the midst of the chaos.
I made all the blocks I could like this with my leftover pieces.
But remember that bin of leftover binding strips? They were the perfect size to make some more. I took about 20 minutes one night pairing up strips to sew together. Another day I took another 20 minutes to sew them together.
During another work break, I pressed them.
A day or so later, I subcut my pieces. This took WAY too long. I left my 2 1/2” strip die back in Arizona by mistake. Big mistake!
I could have had this done in one quarter of the time it took with my rotary cutter and ruler!
During my next work break, I’ll sew some of these together.
Have a great day!
