I have a box that has arrived from Missourri star quilt, but, I haven't even opened yet. just in case hubby needs a gift for me haha

But I am playing with fabric. I am still sorting through the crumbs and strings into baggies by color. It makes a huge mess but will help with a rainbow project for next year.

too many circles

This project is from 2012 when we had a local quilt shop in town. They held this quilt as a free block of the month. I had all the blocks at the end of the program done, but didn't decide how to put it together, so it went to the time out closet. I used a random number generator for this ufo project. It is time to make some decisions.

I apparently planned a sashing but there is no other piece of that fabric. There is a pretty aqua fabric in the box, that I might use.

I made these little drunkards path blocks for the border. I am using this Ufo as the 5th quilt in my 5 quilts plan. I am really looking forward to playing with this quilt again. I was really excited that I had attempted this classic block when it was offered.

5 quilts december 13

While I am sitting here, our youngest son, who still lives with us, has broken into a round of laughter. I love his laugh and hearing him happy.

My 5 quilts progress report.

1. boho heart -I am trying to concentrate on the blocks and strips I need for the second section of group one.

2..full stop quilt that Angela is doing for the rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy.- I made another word in aqua

3. rhododendron mystery - hunter Clue two is half done and ready to finish

4. fish school - this is a year long project for the quiltville leader/ender challenge. I am still sewing the hsts I need for the next round of little fishies.

I used a random number generator again , and this is the project that came up for my empty 5th spot.

5. minuet mystery -missing instructions. I pulled fabric for it so I counted it as a ufo. I decided since nothing was cut, this is not the time to make it. I pulled it out of the ufo closet and put it in the maybe someday category. And a quick finish of an old ufo

I added the fabric back into the stash

MY next on the longarm of my own quilts in the 'to be quilted' closet

1. wonky courthouse - hunter - need to piece a back and prepare the binding - on the frame - quilted - trimmed- needs bound

2. hourglass leader ender challenge - hunter - on the frame - quilted - needs to be bound

Joann had jelly rolls 30 % off with an additional 20% and I like using their neutrals. Although, they are not accurately cut.

I have to remember that there are only 20 strips per roll

rainbow scraps in aqua

I have added a new word to my rsc project. I had forgotten how much I like to make letters. I use Lori Holt's alphabet book.

I am trying to prepare for next year and a new rainbow scrap challenge at so scrappy project. I want to do strings and crumbs by color so I have started sorting the big bucket into colors. I was afraid I wouldn't find enough of each color, but, alas, I have plenty. And some have already been sorted into baggies. If I do a little every day, I may have it sorted for the new year.

I have a few easy breezy blocks I made this week. I was doing one every day but now its sporadic with new projects.

rhododendron and scraps

I cut and pieced the second clue of rhododendron mystery quilt this week. It doesn't look like much, but it was a lot of cutting and piecing. And I was off with my numbers and didn't have enough to finish the opposite colorway.
