I worked on my quilt today:
8 blocks done -- only 12 more to go! Second from left on top doesn't have enough contrast, but not sure I'm gonna take it apart! I might learn to live with it!
I've also been working on a "betweens" quilt which is using 2-1/2" squares as leaders and enders, and making two patches and today I started making 4 patches out of them. I have a big bin of 2-1/2" squares - don't think I'll run out any time soon. But decided to press and make 4 patches. I'm thinking I'll make 16-patch blocks and maybe sash them to make a 60"x80" homeless quilt. The goal is to use up every scrap in the sewing room, but it's difficult to do when people keep donating fabrics! I spend all my time working on the donated fabric and mine doesn't get used. 2019 is going to be the year I use my fabric! Like the quilt I'm working on, I have a lot of Kansas Troubles Fabrics and a lot of darks - like Jo Morton and Civil War prints. Still need to clean out my fabric stash cabinets too! A woman's (quilter) work is never done!
Until next time.....blessings.
