try again one monthly goal

We are going to try this again for my one monthly goal at Elm street quilts. I have filled in the blank spots and squared the EPP for this little handsewn quilt. I want to iron all the edges out ( they are still wrapped around the paper templates), and starch it before I trim it. Then, I will add a border, and quilt it. I used this as my goal for May but, didn't finish it.

goal for July

Stash report July 3, 2022

fabric added: 0 yards

fabric added year to date: 60 3/4 yards

fabric used: 6 yards - I finished tiger, tiger

fabric used year to date: 136 yards

76 1/4 yards used more than bought.

I sewed 5 days last week. And I had a sew day with the guild Saturday

I have some hand stitching to do on my friendsheep rug, but, I have to trim and press first. I haven't gotten to that yet, But, I did put another rug on the stand, that I can work on slowly in the mean time.

I started it here in March while I was waiting for my sheep rug to finish with the other swappers. I did the hat and face and I am working on the banner above her head. She is a fun little witch.

one monthly goal finish

I have a finish for April's one monthly goal at elm street quilts. Bricks in the brickyard is quilted and bound. I started it in 2012. Bricks in the barnyard is found in Bonnie Hunter's Book- scraps and shirt tails 2 . I decided to use it as part of my 5 quilts ufo list in September 2021. At that time, the blocks were in 6 horizontal sections. I sewed the rows and added an inner and outer border and it was ready for the quilt vault.

I drew the number for quilting and finishing it this month. And now, tada, it is done. It seems to be lap size or twin. I forgot to remeasure. It has 12 yards of scrap fabric in it.

I free motion quilted swirls and feathers on the longarm. I handstitched the binding. And I used a sheet for the backing.

April one monthly goal

Bricks in the barnyard is found in Bonnie Hunter's Book- scraps and shirt tails 2. I started it in 2012 using scraps. Last year, I was working on my UFO list and dug it out again to see what it needed. It was an ufo Sept 2021 and a top Oct 2021. I still needed to add borders. I decided on a scrappy piano key border.

It is time to quilt and bind this quilt for my one monthly goal for April.

one monthly goal finish - shine

I have finished my March one monthly goal at elm street quilts by completing my Shine quilt. It is a free pattern at moda bakeshop. I started it as part of the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy in January 2020. I made one or two different color blocks each month for the year. It was a top in November. Now it is quilted and bound.

66 x 82 = 12 yards

I used leftover strips for the binding and machine sewed it on the front

This was a great block and easy enough to do, and, it uses a jelly roll or 2 1/2 inch strips.

Christmas sparkle finish

It is so exciting to finish this Christmas quilt early..... ok late. But, I am glad it is done and off all my lists. I found the pattern as a free Christmas sew along here. In March 2018, I was overwhelmed with piles of Christmas fabrics and I started cutting. This is one of the quilts I cut trying to use it and organize it. I didn't make it all go away, but, I did get it stored together.

I had it cut out January 2021

I started the blocks march 2021

The blocks were big and I really liked these Christmas prints

It was a top April 2021

84 x84 = 24 yards

old Christmas prints for the back and free form swirl quilting

row by row quilt finish

As part of my rainbow scrap challenge goals for 2020, I bought a new pattern row x row. I worked on each color through the year. By the end of the year, I had all the rows sewn. I had the top ready in November of 2020. I really like how bright and happy it turned out finished.

I finished quilting and binding it for my February One monthly goal. It is 80 x 80 and all made with scraps.

22 yards

I used a blue sheet for the back and a stripe for the binding that I did on the sewing machine. I did free form swirls for the quilting.
