flying home finish

Flying home is a finish. I made this in Florida I took the blocks with me and worked on them while we were there. I bought the fabric for the borders while I was there, too. This project has a rascally past. Now you see it now you don't. I feel like I have been chasing these blocks for a long time. I started it as part of the rainbow scrap challenge in 2019. When I looked for it the next year, I couldn't find it. In an unrelated cleaning, There they were. I bundled them up and put them in the ufo closet. When I wanted to work on it as a ufo, I couldn't find it. Last year, I was looking for another ufo, and found them making friends... in the wrong box. and tada it's done. It really was flying home.

60 x 75 = 14 yards

I couldn't resist adding a backing with airplanes

stash report June 7, 2026

I needed fabric for binding. I found this buried in the red tote. I think it is going to be just right. We have a new quilt store, that I visited this week, with a friend. My sewing room is bigger than this very cute shop. It has been a while since I have investigated a quilt shop. I couldn't believe the prices. It's a good thing I have a fabric investment portfolio.

light scrap projects week 1

This month for the rainbow scrap challenge, we are working to use the light and pastel colors we didn't use so far this year.

I did a recalculation for candy chains, and decided I need one more of most of the colors. Here is a catch up of blue. My other projects have more intense colors.

I have been working on Two bits pattern from oh scrap,

using a swap batch of friendship stars and low volume scrappy neutrals. I think it is light enough to be my older ufo project this month. I have decided to put ditch lilies away again for another time.

dresden top

Once all the medallions for my dresden blocks were hand sewn, I could begin to make rows. I did decide to make sashings. I did use my time at our guild's open sew to get this far. I think I want to make a piano key border. This was my daughter's baby quilt from 1986. After 2 sons, I wanted all the pink I could get. But, she definitely didn't like pink. sigh I revived my interest last year during the rainbow scrap challenge.
