holy toledo is a quiltville pattern from the book scraps and shirttails 2. All the blocks are finished and I have sewn them into twosies. I added this to my 5 quilt ufo projects this year. All the pieces were cut a long time ago. All I had to do was sew the pieces together. It is a great social sewing project. I really like working with recycled shirt fabric.
These were scraps I picked up at the free table. I have a quilt in mind - one of my older ufos- that I will use odd colored neutrals. I would like to cut these as soon as possible and add them to the box for the quilt

With the new year, I am restarting an applique project - across the wide missourri- I started this project again in 2025 primarily for in the car traveling while we were traveling. But, I have continued this after we returned home. I try to do a little every day. I want to finish this by the end of the year.... or next.

15 min to stitch at life in pieces
I haven't been sewing much lately.
I will be forever catching up monkey wrench blocks. At least I made an orange one this month. I haven't counted lately.
And I cut more 1 1/2 inch strips for ditch lilies.

zipper blocks is a finished quilt. I started this quilt as part of the rainbow scrap challenge in 2022. I was able to use many of my solid scraps in this fun and easy scrap quilt. I saw it on sane, crazy crumby quilts, and, she referred to Klein meisje quilts. At the end of the year, I put it away. In 2025, as part of my 5 quilt project, I decided to finish it. I started piecing the blocks into twosies and then, foursies. In May, I began making rows

I made progress on my snowball quilt. I thought I had snowballed all the corners on all the charm squares. Hooray.
But, as I sewed them together in twosies, I could tell that I had missed a batch, somewhere. Bummer. It's a good thing I have enjoyed making these. The remaining, pesky little squares were hiding in the pile of 2 inch squares. They will be called to task. Aren't they cute? gotta love a scrappy quilt.
I found these at a quilt sale. They came in a bigger bag of fat quarters that I still am investigating. I like enhancing my purple, orange, and yellow stash.

I used 3 wof 1 1/2 inch strips and made strip sets with a neutral. The orange zigzag units are all done for June.
I have an older shirt quilt ufo that I am slowly working on when social sewing. I really like shirt fabrics and making it has helped with my motivation to keep cutting the huuge box of shirt pieces. holy toledo is a quiltville pattern from the book scraps and shirttails 2
