This is an older ufo that had aqua in it that I added to my rainbow scrap challenge for the month of August. The box had horizontal rows made, and enough scraps for the binding. The label was an incorrect name and no instructions. With a little help, I found the pattern and it was called off track. It's a great jelly roll quilt.

I went to Friday sew group and worked on making the horizontal sashings for snowball blocks. I needed 31 squares for 4 rows. The time went quickly with friends. I like how scrappy it is.
This came as part of my missouri star quilt purchase. I bought two three yard wide backing in white.

on a whim, we headed to Archibold Ohio for Sauder rug hooking week. I went looking for a blue sky for my houses swap rug. I couldn't find what I wanted in the quantity I would need. sigh I have no idea what inspired me to take any of these pictures over others. It had been 2 years since we attended the show, and it was a lovely adventure.

The off track quilt top is finished. This is an older ufo that had aqua in it that I am making progress on for the rainbow scrap challenge. I added the last of the borders at Friday sew group. I decided not to add any other border. I guess it is time to find a back and get quilting.
I have half of my holy toledo blocks assembled. There is a lot of matching. I try to pin a couple of rows at night while watching tv. I really like the secondary patterns. I haven't spent much time in my sewing room. I hope I can get back there soon.

I bought a bolt of fabric from Missouri star because it was a deal. I was completely surprised when it arrived on the bolt and it was a joann fabric- Keepsake calico. Apparently, Missouri star bought during the liquidation. I did not see anything in the ad that is was from Joann or I probably wouldn't have bought it. But, it is still fabric. Who doesn't like new fabric?

I sewed 3 days last week.
I have created a new friendship swap for my rug hooking group. It is a swap rug. Everyone wanted houses this time. It has two rows of houses, and trees, too. We each do a house on our own rug, and then, we pass it around for everyone to hook a house on our rug, When we are done, we will have a rug with our friends hooking on it. I have made 2 or 3 others and they are such a treasure. We have a goal to trade every two weeks.
Here is one rug that was up for swapping this week. Pam has decided to make a wool shop house for all of us.

The color for the rainbow scrap challenge, in August, is aqua.
The mystery is solved thanks to Jennifer Fulton Inquiring Quilter The pattern is found for my mystery ufo quilt, and my checklist moved from lost to the next step. I am so grateful. I thought I was going crazy.
