Scrappy Wednesday

I'm a little late to the party.  One I had company and two, I'm not really sewing scraps.  It's quilting marathon time and if I can get Moe to move I can finally get the Black Bear done.  Funny, as much as I moved this quilt around, he always laid back down on the bear.  All the bear paw blocks are scrap greens, so I guess is counts for today.

But my daughter is sewing scraps and I'll share:

Big blocks and big quilts - so not me.  And between her daughter and her - definitely pink lovers which again, is so not me.

We are sweltering waiting for the thunderstorm to hit later tonight.  The  kitties have even been lazing near the AC which they usually avoid.

** AND I really want to thank a number of commentors who are 'no-reply' which makes it impossible for me to respond back to you all.  I do so enjoy and appreciate all your lovely comments **

Stay Safe and Healthy,

Monday Making

I got a start on Bonnie Hunter's new leader/ender project and a baggy of scraps to go thru to cut up pieces for the next few to have ready by the machine.  I'm trying to stay with bright colors to keep this a happy quilt.

Then to work more 16 patches with the 1.5" squares.  I need 85 of these (and a lot of 2 other blocks) for this long term project.  

These two projects should really eat up the smallest bits that have just grown beyond containment!  Another week of stormy weather makes for good sewing time.

Whooping Friday

I had to do an indoor photo as we are still stormy and I refuse to stand in lightening and pouring rain to take a picture.  Yes, I got the quilt done and actually added three (yes, three) borders.  This quilt is made entirely of left overs.  Left over JR strips, left over charms,left over strips from prior projects, left over backing cut offs, left over borders.  

The JR was this floral line and I have the one floral in the rust, brown and blue extra wide for border/backs.  I had just enough of the brown left over from another quilt to use as the border - so that is cleaned up.

This is what I have left of the JR strips - all light.  I have probably only put a light binding on a few minis so this will be the first big quilt with a light binding.  The idea is to use this stuff up.  I'll bag it and pin to the quilt top as it goes onto the 'to-be-quilted' pile.

No parades, no fireworks (I hope to catch them on the TV), no gatherings.  We will have rain and severe storms that keep us in any way.  I plan to play with my scraps with the new Bonnie Hunter Scrap Challenge and have a hand project on stand-by should we lose power.  Stay safe, healthy, and cherish each and every day.

OMG - July 2020

Half way thru the year and the OMG has been a real motivation to move a project along.  Because my pile of 'to be quilted' has grown so, July is going to be a quilting marathon month.

I chose this quilt to be my OMG goal.  This was a quilt along with Moda back in 2017 - 'The Patchwork Sampler'.  I used a FQ bundle of 'Katherine Ann' by Patrick Loose and Kona Snow.

There are a lot of grays in this bundle as well as rose prints, so I plan to use this for the backing.  Luckily I had the binding made and pinned to the top so everything is ready to go.  I hope there is enough binding there as I don't have any of this line left - but it's scrappy so I should be able to find something that fits if needed.
