holloween kit

 I was feeling halloweenish, and remembered a halloween kit, that I found at a garage sale. I had added it to my 5 quilt projects for 2025. I am not near it on the list, but, I thought it might be fun, at this time of the year, to at least look at it. It was a complete kit with a panel, fabric, and a pattern. I did not like the pattern. I started looking at ideas online. I found a couple I liked much better. For now, I am tabling the idea. I have made notes, and pictures, so that I can start again with a better idea for how to proceed. I do like the panel, and it offered me smile. It would be wise to start a bit earlier than October another year.

I pulled out another UFO that I want to add to my 5 quilts list. It was a kit that I bought some time ago. It looks very easy. Everything is already there, and, all I have to do, is sew a bit. It could be fun. On the other hand, it does not need to be done. There are way too many ufos that are a higher priority. 

Oh well, it is great for social sewing. It doesn't take up much room in the bag, can easily be sewed in my usual locations, especially with my non- scrappy quilting friends. Sew... I started by just cutting the 2 1/2 inch strips for the four patches.

unicorn quilt goal

I have seen some great humor come out of the pandemic. It helps to laugh.

One of my one monthly goals for May, was to make headway on the unicorn quilt. I have not wanted to work on this at all. I don't have a pattern and have already demonstrated my lack of math skills in figuring the piecing. I measure, and measure, and calculate, and cut, what I need. And... it doesn't fit.
I have most of the blocks done I think. I am using a layer cake and a panel. I am using a background white from my stash.

I framed the panel with a lavender from my stash, and it was not the size I needed for the blocks for the sides. On to plan B for this quilt.

I have started putting some blocks together and they are as cute as I wanted. I will just have to use spacers of some kind.

I have made progress, and, I am not giving up. It is time for this to be finished.
