First taste of green scraps for the rainbow scrap challenge. I made three hollow 9 blocks for my quilt project.
I dug through my 1 1/2 inch green scraps and cut sashings for my garlic knots ufo.
I made hsts for fish school in green.

pinwheels progress
I have been sewing rows for my scrappy pinwheels quilt. The center is done and waiting for borders. I think I will keep it simple.

5 quilts march 6, 2023
last report February 20, 2023
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. I decided that for 2023, rather than work a little on each one at a time, I would concentrate on just one. I still use the list to plan and look ahead.
Most of these have been posted, but, I need to move on with new projects. I feel as though I have been staring at the same list for forever. I know projects take time, but I tend to veer off if it takes too long.

Stash report February 26, 2023
I found these beauties on the free table at quilt guild. The key fabric is 36 inches, so is vintage. I am planning a patriotic quilt... someday, so, I keep a look out for red, white, and blue. I am collecting floral scraps, too.
fabric added: 1 1/2 yards
fabric added year to date: 26 1/2 yards
fabric used: 3 yards sold a jelly roll
fabric used year to date: 81 yards
56 yards used more than bought
I sewed 3 days last week.
I made it to rug hooking guild and worked more on my border. It is slow going, and a big border.

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.

pinwheels progress
I had a chance to make more scrappy pinwheel blocks, and, check how they will work as a row. I am really liking how easy this pattern is for scraps. When I cut my 2 1/2 inch strips for any other project, I can cut either the 4 1/2 inch or 6 1/2 inch rectangle from the leftover, depending on what is left. If, I can get a 2 1/2 inch square from any leftovers, I can use that, too. The background is a 4 1/2 inch square and 2 1/2 inch squares. I cut for 20 blocks with this older Ufo, which is 80 pieces of each. I don't have a pattern for this. I just saw a picture somewhere, and did the math.
