The first 2 borders went on the quilt perfectly. The second 2 borders fought me, but, I won. The corners were most of the challenge.

twirl mistake
After all the great advice on sewing these blocks together, which, I decided was the right way to sew them together- in halves only. I went social sewing and was so busy chatting and sewing that, I forgot -doh. I didn't realize it until they were all done and I took a picture. oh wait geesh
What to do. take them apart... maybe, or try them with the y seam. and of course that is as far as I have gotten.

box kite inner border
Box kite center is together and I have added the inner border. I am piecing the border but the corners are a challenge to me. I need to double down on this if I am going to finish the top by the end of the month for April's one monthly goal. I have skipped most of my social quilting and that is where I get more done.

stash report April 21, 2024
I have actually bought my first fabric of the year. I made it 109 days. It was hard at first, but it has become much easier to say no.
reason 1- I have enough of everything I will need.
reason 2 - Even the sale prices are too high for recreational therapy
reason 3 - I don't have any place left to stuff it LOL
reason 4 - I am slowing down
I bought 2- 3 yard wide backings that were on sale at Missourri star.

fabric used year to date for 2024: 207 yards
191 yards used more than bought in 2024
I sewed 2 days last week.
I decided to finish the red work frames for my Spring sampler cross stitch project. I have almost 2 more done and 3 to go. I haven't done anything on my Christmas rug hooking lately. I think I need to dye some more wool for the background to continue. I went to a fiber fair last week, hoping to just buy another piece of navy/ dark blue and I didn't find any in that color.

yellow windmills
Yellow is the color for April and the rainbow scrap challenge. I made 2 rows of Jo's checkers in yellow. I bet I could put at least two long rows together - I have enough different colors.
My favorite color is yellow ( most of the time) but I am not thrilled with my yellow blocks when they are photographed. I mostly like them in person. It might be time to grab some bigger pieces of yellow and whack them in to scraps for next time.

dart finish
This is a 2022 ufo quilt from Jordan fabrics called dart -a free pattern. I had an unused jelly roll and wanted a pattern that would use it. It was ready for quilting in March I enjoyed the different look of this pattern and wanted to try it. It was pretty easy to do.

strip weave progress
I was making strip weave blocks per color for the rainbow scrap challenge last year. I don't know why but, toward the end of the year, I forgot to finish the colors with this block. I took an inventory this year and decided to finish the 5 or so that I missed. I have all the blocks done and laid them out at an open sew. I have one more row to go and then, borders.
I cut the 2 1/2 inch strips x 10 1/2 inches.
