scrap challenge for September

The color of the month is light blue and green for the rainbow scrap challenge. I have included these colors in my blue and green months. So I am caught up in my regularly scheduled projects.

I found 2 older ufos that will I will work on this month with the new colors of the month.

Baby x and o was started in 2015, when I was the workshop chairman for my guild. It was a quick baby size quilt to piece. I made bonus triangles from the cut offs of the snowball corners. It was my plan to make a border with these. I can work on sewing these together, and maybe finish the quilt this month.

Swingin checkerboard is a quilted twins free pattern that I started in 2019. I have all the 16 patch blocks made. I found scraps in the box, but, I didn't find the mint green constant for the rail fence blocks. That is probably why it was sidelined for so long. I spent some time hunting through my collections of fabric and scraps for the likely candidate. nope. I attended a quilt show in pendleton Indiana and didn't find anything in mint green. I stopped by a quilt store in Noblesville. They had a small range of mint green, but it was too expensive for an almost. On the way home, I thought of hobby lobby. And, I think I found "the one" yay!  Otherwise, I was going to put it away for another day.

churndash top

While I was digging around, trying to find some wool for my rug hooking project, I found 2 missing quilts in a tub. I had given them up for lost. I have been working on my chunky churndash quilt. It just needed borders.

treasure found

I added an inner border, But the outer border was more difficult to find in my stash. The border I had with the top was not going to work. We tried at least 8 different options.

With the help of my Granddaughter, we decided on a more neutral plaid. I like it. I definitely was not going to buy anything new.

This will be my one monthly goal for September to have a finished quilt.

final week for aqua scraps

I finished just a few last minute aqua scrap projects for the rainbow scrap challenge. I had or made 

70-2 inch hsts for my bonnie Hunter basket quilt.

I have my 6 windmill blocks in aqua, with one lonely monkey wrench.

My aqua ufo is a finished quilt.

I am looking forward to a new color and a new ufo for September.

off track is finished

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.

week 3 with aqua scraps

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 am behind on making my sugar grove blocks. I did finish 2 of them.

I made a few monkey wrench blocks and I have 122 of them, now.

I made the strip sets with aqua for my windmill quilt.

progress

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 have another top that is nearly finished. The sides are naturally finished with the design of the block, but, the top and bottom borders look unfinished. I hope to get them added today at Friday sew group.
