scrappy twirl -all the borders are done, I need to trim it square and decide what I want for a border.

 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.

My May 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 cut a big scrap bag for May. The original box weighed 9 pounds 13 ounces of shirtings scraps. The cut pieces weighed 1 pound 4 ounces which is 4 yards of useable fabric. 2025- totals so far 16 1/2 yards of useable fabric  

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 May - finally adding a few new ufos to the list

fancy fox finish

 Fancy fox is finished. I began this quilt in 2016 with my daughter during her visit home. This is an Elizabeth Hartman pattern. At the time I was also working on the fancy forest quilt. This year I pulled it from the deep ufo closet to add it to my 5 quilt project. All the blocks were already made, and, I needed to assemble the top and quilt it. I do adore the little foxes made from recycled shirts. This is also my one monthly goal for May.  Finishing an older UFo is such an unexpected pleasure. It has a history, a promise, and a surprise.

52 x 62 = 10 yards

one monthly goal

fox top

I've made progress on my fox quilt . This is my one monthly goal for May. I worked on the vertical sashings, adding rows of foxes. The sashing is a vintage gray chambray fabric that I thought was perfect for the shirtings. I used the whole piece of fabric with just scraps left.

It needed a good pressing before I could measure the top and bottom border. It is ready for the longarm. I found a great backing. I hope to quilt it next week.

fancy foxes progress

I have the vertical rows sewn and have started adding sashing for my fox quilt . This my one monthly goal for May. So I need to move it along to be done in time. I really enjoy meeting each fox, they make me smile.  I haven't had a quilt on the longarm for awhile and it is getting restless. It was a brave man to wear the orange paisley shirt. haha

one monthly goal

fancy fox May goal

My one monthly goal for May is a new project for the 5 quilt project. It is an older ufo from 2016. At the time, My daughter was visiting and we decided to each make one together. I made mine from shirt fabrics, and, she visited my stash.  When I opened the box, all the blocks were made. I hope to have it finished by the end of May.
