I sewed 1 day last week. 

I have decided to work on my older ufo applique project - across the wide missourri- again, as we will be spending quality car time, on vacation. 

It's time to work on block 9. It looks pretty straight forward. These are going to even out other uneven applique blocks in the quilt.

I am back in the groove for my Christmas in new England rug hooking, too.

week 4 - February green rainbow scrap challenge

I have the top for Hazel's soul searching quilt as far as I plan on going. I think I will donate it to my guild for someone else to finish.

I didn't put a border on mine

I made a few more rolling windmills. with any 5 inch squares that had even a whisper of green.

For my square dance  quilt, I have added green. I add the solid color by cutting a 10 inch square from a layer cake diagonally both ways. That way I can trim to the right size. I think I will test a 9 1/2 inch scrap piece and see if it will work.

I made twosies with all the green for the zig zag quilt, I tried laying them out in a zigzag - that will be  challenging. And I don't think there are enough to make any size quilt.

Green is a favorite of mine, and, also, I am gifted scraps in that color a lot. But, I am looking forward to a new color for the  rainbow scrap challenge

week 3 - February green rainbow scrap challenge

I made the chaining blocks this week for candy chains. I used any extra green from the other blocks that I had made. I will need more than this when I need to finish the quilt.

For my square dance  quilt, I made 16 patches with 2 inch squares from my bin.

I finished the  square, play. blocks for  rainbow scrap challenge including scraps from flying home quilt I made earlier in the year

All the rows are sewn for soul searching

I had questions about the rolling windmills I am making for the rsc this year. I am happy to show you what I am doing, but, I was inspired by sara (my sewing room)here   

I am using a big scrap bucket of 5 inch scraps I use 2 each of background and focus fabrics all 4 right side up.

I like to use the 1/2 inch squares portion of my cutting mat to make the diagonal cut.1 1/2 inch from the top left to 1 1/2 inch to the right bottom.

 

I still need to check them first.

I sew them together making sure the points extend a little from the bottom piece

I trim them to 4 1/4 inches square. I have chosen to cut off the background and the widest part when I trim. I like the narrower blade part.

 

I lay them out, and I chain sew them together as a set, leaving them attached

I open them, and then join the center seam.

 I attended a Florida quilt show, here, where I am staying. It was huge. They had a huge boutique with guild members making donated items for sale. I found my happy place. I could buy little quilt gifties for gifts when I get home. They had brown sandwich bags filled with scraps. I bought a green bag, just in case I have time this month to cut some more for my rsc projects. All the pieces are small and different sizes. Otherwise, I didn't buy anything.

week 2 - February green rainbow scrap challenge

I decided to layout my estate sale blocks and see how I want to place the colors for the rainbow scrap challenge. I had made my own soul searching quilt in 2018. Hazel had her own take on the design.

candy chains blocks 

It is the first round of borders that makes these blocks stand out. I made the scrappy border last week for  square, play.

 

The first row of soul searching has been sewn together. I did have a bit of trimming. Each block is 24 1/2 x 28 1/2. That took some head scratching to trim something that large.

I was visiting a thrift store to find warmer clothes to wear, and found these two lovely bundles of white. I seem to be using a lot of white in my rainbow scrap challenge projects, and, was afraid I might run dry. They were 1.00 a yard. They had other random fabrics, even a scrap bag (my favorite) I carried them around for awhile, hearing them whisper "take me home". But, I left the store without them.

I like these big pieces for the next cabin. They work quickly.

It was time to move the Christmas rug on the frame. It doesn't seem like it, but, I have made progress.
