5 quilt march

last report February 28, 2025

I try to work on these 5 quilts until they are done. Their turn in the UFO closet is over, and, they need to be finished one way or another. PHD in 2025 Project List

I finished 3 ufos in March

I worked on these older Ufos to finish them

squared away - is finished

72 x72

strip joint- I took this with me to Florida as a back up project. It is finished

66 x80

tiny tuesday - My March monthly goal is finished

60 x 63

1. kaleidoscope - I have all the borders made and ready to attach to the top

2. peppermint candy - I made all the blocks and I am deciding on sashing. I have a fabric precut and ready to use, but, so far, I am not thrilled with it. This will be my one monthly goal for April

3. scrappy twirl - I need to join the blocks with the border

4. fancy fox - a new older ufo on the list and it needs sashings and assembly

5. hollow nine - rainbow scrap challenge that needs the border.

My 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 March and it weighed 2 pounds and 13 ounces which = 8 1/2 yards of useable scrappy fabric.

Looking forward to April

new finish

This older ufo from 2014 is finished. I have avoided typing the name, because, when I do I get all kinds of hits from robots LOL So, I left the picture of the pattern, and you will see why. I hope this works better. This a 5 quilt project finish.

72 x 72 I believe I cut the pieces in 2014 and sewed quadrant blocks in 2021. It looks like All the blocks are ready for assembly.

66 x 80 = 15 yards

top finished

strip joint is now a finished top. I don't plan on adding borders. I made the blocks a few years ago with 2 1/2 inch strips. And even today I have bags of red and brown 2 1/2 inch strips. I really like this one. I like all the quilts I have made especially when they are finished. This one checks all my boxes for a wonderful quilt.

hubby brought me a heart shaped strawberry gift. These are not just any strawberries. They are locally grown - in Florida - sweet and juicy strawberries like the ones I remember from my childhood. Not the king we have in our stores in Indiana. Happy valentine's day.

strip joint quilt rows

After a little frustration with peppermint candy pinwheels, I decided to work on strip joint. I brought it with me just in case.....I started sewing blocks into rows. The pattern called for 3 by 4. I had more blocks than that, so, I decided on 4 x 5 and got busy sewing rows. I am sure I will get back to peppermint candy quilt soon, but, needed a break. I really like the colors.

2 1/2 inch strips

strip joint quilt redo

Another new 5 quilt project is an older ufo called strip joint. I believe I cut the pieces in 2014 and sewed quadrant blocks in 2021. It looks like All the blocks are ready for assembly. I enjoy reacquainting myself with the scrappy fabrics. I am surprised I haven't finished this sooner, as it is really striking. I think it will be a good color combo for boys and men, too.
