I try to work on these 5 quilts until they are done. Their turn in the UFO closet is over, and, they need to be finished one way or another.
I finished 1 ufo in June - 7th for the year
zipper blocks quilt is finished

| 72 x 86 = 24 yards |
I worked on these older Ufos to finish them
scrappy twirl - I have prepared the border and need to add it to the top.
hollow nine - rainbow scrap challenge from 2023 that needs the border -Which I intend to applique. fingers crossed.
broken dishes made with civil war fabrics I am not sure I am finishing this. I decided to postpone this ufo for another time.
I replaced it with a scrappy snowballs -2 inch scrap block. This ufo had more pieces ready for quicker sewing. This is my one monthly goal for June to have a top. I can still get it done. I have a Friday sew and an open sew this weekend. If I concentrate, it might happen. But concentration has not been my long suit lately.
holy toledo - I have all the blocks made, and then, sewn into 4sies. Now, it is time for rows.
My June PHD report
scrap cutting
I have added another goal to the 5 quilts project. I want to take one day a month and cut scraps. I will have plenty to choose from since I really didn't cut any for 2024, and the bags of uncut scraps are piling up, all over the fabric room.
I have finished cutting the 9 pound box of shirts. This time the cut pieces weighed 3 pounds 6 ounces which is 10 1/2 yards of useable fabric. The total yardage for the box was 26 1/2 yards of useable fabric. For the year, the total is 35 yards of useable fabric. And I had fun socializing while I was doing it -bonus.
quilts to be quilted:
1. wedding ring I have had this ready for a few years, but, I am afraid to quilt it myself. I want it to be special and I don't do special. So I will work to talk my self into it..... some day
Looking forward to July - I am disappointed at my progress this month

ReplyDeleteHoly Toledo, zippers, twirls, snowballs, etc. what great patterns all ones I love, btw, and what wonderful quilts you are making. I want to make them all too!
ReplyDeleteEven if it isn't what you hoped for, you still made good progress in June. Just getting that bag of scraps cut is an achievement.
