stash report November 30, 2025

I spent some time cutting scraps. I had a small bag that was gifted to me, that seemed to move all around the room -in my way- naughty bag.

I was cutting with 2 projects in mind, bow ties and chisels. And if possible, 4 1/2 for a maybe project

11 ounces = 3/4 yards of useable fabric

week 5- rainbow scrap challenge November

hollow nine  is my next 5 quilt project which is also an older ufo from the rainbow scrap challenge  2023. I was convinced I had the big border on this before I put it away, but, no. I plan to applique the border with raw edge applique. I have the bias stem ready, and a few of the flowers cut. O plan on working on this in December.

hollow nine

And, now, I have added a 10 inch border. I hope I made it big enough that I can trim it after I add the applique.


I have new sugar grove blocks





I have all 100- 3 1/2 inch hsts cut for the bottom of the baskets for my bonnie Hunter basket quilt. I grabbed a very full drawer of 3 1/2 inch strips and started cutting. I have some neutrals to cut, and then, all the pieces are ready to make a quilt.

stash report November 23, 2025

 I am very slowly unpacking the bag of fabric that I bought at a quilt show rummage sale. Everything was measured by the pound. I am measuring and marking the larger pieces. 

This is the last of the bag. I usually don't buy children's fabric since I have so much already. I hope I will get to all of that eventually. These were very cute.

3 3/4 yards

Work began on the house so that I can finish the little bit of background close to it.

week 4 -rainbow scrap challenge November

  My red and brown pfeffernuesse quilt. for the rainbow scrap challenge is a top. I started the string blocks in 2016. It deserved to be finished. I was great at starting projects many years ago. I guess, I was making retirement projects. Pulling out an older ufo, is so much fun, if, I don't go down the " what was I thinking" rabbit hole.


 I was diligent about sewing sugar grove blocks this past week. I now have 50 of the 72 I need for the quilt. Making them is part of my muscle memory by now.

 I ironed the last of the zig zag quilt blocks. I used up many 1 1/12 inch strips, but, it still doesn't look like a whole quilt in the drawer.

week 3 -rainbow scrap challenge November

After ironing the red and brown pfeffernuesse quilt. for the rainbow scrap challenge this month. I searched for the inner border and attached the final choice for the quilt. I have also been searching for the outer border. I planned for brown. My selection of browns were lackluster. But, buried amid the browns, was a lovely burgundy red that I think is "the one". on the right

it is deeper than the picture

I have actually pressed the zig zag quilt blocks every day this past week. I have less to go than I have done.


it doesn't look like a whole quilt


I am still sewing the sugar grove blocks. I have all the  premade kits I have made over the year done, but I still have partial kits and more hsts that were made but not in kits, yet.
