stash report March 8, 2026

I didn't bring any red with me for the rainbow scrap challenge so I found a cotton sheet while thrifting that I could use. I didn't need a whole sheet, but I didn't find anything else in red.

We have moved locations on our vacation. I've packed up all my sewing and quilting supplies for a few weeks. I have not added any new fabricey thing to my supplies, except a recycled sheet.

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.

1 tree is ready to use later when putting the quilt together.

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

week 1 - March red rainbow scrap challenge

I finished the top for my alternative blue skies string quilt. I finished the flimsy here. For the borders, I found shirts while thrifting  I made the string blocks in 2016, and I am happy to have another ufo ready to quilt.

 

I just couldn't let this quilt go to start the red color of the month for March. I have finished all the ufos I have brought with me, on vacation, so, I plan to continue working on the leftover yellow blocks from blue skies. Hopefully, during yellow month, I will remember to work on a red ufo.  I am sure I will have plenty of choices. I am working on a center star pattern as a baby quilt.

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. 

hazels top

I didn't put a border on mine

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.

tada

 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.
