girlie girl finish

 I started this older ufo in February as a side project for the rainbow scrap challenge. The color of the month was pink. I made it this far by the end of February, and, decided to use it each month, if I finished the regular color of the month projects. I had rows by the end of March. I had a top by the end of June.

It is finally quilted and bound. 

46 x 50 = 7 yards

girlie garden quilt

I had time this week to raw edge applique the daisies for girlie garden, and, assemble the quilt top. I had added it to my rainbow scrap challenge list in February, when, I had extra time from my other projects and the color was pink. It is an older ufo in pink, that, I could finish, if, I had time each month. It is June, and, I am almost ready to quilt it. It has been slow going, since I have stayed busy with my regular rsc projects.


Is it just me, or has blogging changed? I don't see much 'how to s' and progress reports, but, mostly finishes and promoting. Is it that quilting has changed?  I don't see many traditional projects. Just small quilts with large fabric pieces. what do you think quilters? I would really like to know.
I know I am not as chatty as I used to be.

more girlie garden

I made progress on girlie garden at my Saturday open sew with my quilt guild. I needed to trim all the blocks before I could start piecing the rows.


One row led to another...


I have them all made. I can't assemble the top until I do a row of applique daisies. 
This is a rogue project, that I added for February rainbow scrap challenge. I had an early finish to my regular rsc projects, and, thought, I would sneak another pink ufo in to the mix. March was busier, so it is the end of the month, before I could fit some time for it. But, I started thinking I would just move it forward, and I have made more progress than expected.

girlie garden progress

Here is as far as I could get with my pink bonus rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy for February. I cut the blocks from the strip sets....


I sliced them twice on the diagonal to make triangles.



The plan was to go as far as I could by the end of the month, and get back to my regularly scheduled program. But, I don't think I can do that. I can smell a finish, and, I may want to keep going. My rsc projects are quicker this year than usual, and, I may leave it for March bonus time. My head is still talking about it.

girlie garden quilt

I finished early with my pink rsc projects for the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy. So, I perused the Ufo list for a mostly pink project. I have a few of them. I had added a few to my ufos expecting to have granddaughters. But, out of 12 Grandchildren, I only have 2 and they are nearly grown. 

quilt kit I bought in 2014

It is a quick quilt that uses 2 1/2 inch strips. I cut the strips and started sewing them together. I have all the strip sets finished I will need.... I hope.



We will see how far I can advance this quilt before March. I do have an open sew today. I am hoping to work on scrappy pinwheels and this girlie garden quilt.

go fish

I have made HSTS for fish school/ kismet in pink for the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy. hmmm

When I said I was going to keep the rainbow projects simple this year, I may have reduced the projects tooo much. Time to reconsider for the year.



I am actually finished with what I need for this year's rsc projects in pink. I looked around and found an older ufo in pink and brown, that, I am going to see if I can move forward until the end of the month. I don't have plans to finish it, yet, just move it along.
