squared away again

I made these blocks in 2018 as part of the  rainbow scrap challenge BOM called squared away. This is my first, 5 quilt UFO project for 2025. It was fun to dig these blocks out of the dark hole, ufo, closet. I really like all the blocks and look forward to finishing this. I am especially glad to turn the page on 2024 and start fresh with a rainbow scrap quilt. I am planning an on point layout. I am taking this with me on a celebratory vacation to visit some sunshine and my son.

I am pretty sure I am the last to finish.

orange windmills

I made windmills in orange this week as part of my rainbow scrap challenge projects. I love how easy these are to make. Maybe this can be my go to donation quilt block. I am using 2 1/2 inch strips this year and all it takes is an 18 inch strip cut into 4 1/2 inch rectangles after I sew it to an 18 inch background. Although it is August and I still need to look at a block to know which way to turn the little blocks haha

And with these 2 blocks, I am current with the hen and chicks to start orange. The drawer with all the blocks that are finished is a pretty sight and makes me smile. 

I will trim later

I had a quilt finish this week here

Have a happy weekend.

a few more aqua scraps

Not much aqua scrap sewing this week. I did finish 1 1/2 inch ripple blocks, I made fewer than my goal, so more may still be made.

I did 3 hen and chicks blocks and almost another sugar grove block. I did make all the aqua sugar grove hsts and sorted them into their bags. I was able to make more complete block sets for the quilt.

I did finish every which way quilt - ummm no aqua
