I have restarted an older ufo for my 5 quilt project. This is a scrappy snowball quilt from 2020. I used this pattern from suzies scraps I had all the squares in a bag and all the centers cut. I also had 2 blocks sewn. It looks like it will take for ever, but it uses 29 scrappy 2 inch squares per block. Finishing the top is my June one monthly goal.
I have been attending quilters' garage sales, and buying fabric. I think the dam has burst. I was so careful last year, and, apparently, I can only be good for so long. It will take a while to sort, measure, and fold the new fabric. But, I like that part- Finding a place for it, not so much.

With the new year, I am restarting an applique project - across the wide missourri- I started this project again in 2025 primarily for in the car traveling while we were traveling. But, I have continued this after we returned home. I try to do a little every day. I want to finish this by the end of the year.... or next.
Finally, this block is done. I started it the first part of the year on my way to Florida. I am thrilled I stuck with it.

It is the end of May and time to put away ditch lilies for the rainbow scrap challenge. In a month I have cut all the pieces for the quilt and I even had a chance to dig and find some 1 1/2 inch hsts. They will finish at 1 inch. I need 640 of them for the quilt.

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 have the side borders finished that make them a straight line for my scrappy twirl quilt.
This has been a season of quilt sales. Many people are destashing. We had 2 of our quilter's estate sales. I can't remember a time with so many opportunities to go crazy. I can't get it all organized at this rate.

green is the rainbow scrap challenge for the month of May.
I am playing catch up on the 2 inch hsts I need for a basket quilt of the future. I need 70 of 10 different colors by the end of the year. I was only planning to do pink this month.
