Cups and Saucers project advances to a top

Good day, and welcome to my blog.  It's a warm morning in the American Midwest.

I am reporting today on progress on my Cups and Saucers project.   The pattern is found HERE on Patchworksquare.  Great instructions, usually instructions for several sizes given.

The overall top (minus borders) looks like this:

And some closer views of the blocks, in feedsack fabrics and vintage fabrics:

Each block here finishes at 12 inches square.  A constant background fabric of Kona Snow was used.  Do I need a border?  I will think about that.

Starlight geese now a top

 Good Day, and welcome to my blog on quilts and quilty happenings.

I have a project that I have moved forward from blocks to a top minus a border.  I described the beginning of this Starry Geese project in This Post from June 2022,  using This Pattern from Patchwork Pieces.

I used these instructions for no-waste flying geese, making 4 at a time:

Here are the blocks, sashed and laid out on the floor.

In the midst of assembly.  I am using Kona snow as a constant background, and the "geese" are vintage fabrics and feedsack fabrics.

A close up, with a feedsack laid out as a possible border fabric:

Except this feedsack has a big rip in it, as many do.  I'll find something suitable in my collection.  This top is folded up for now, awaiting further inspiration.

9 patch in repro fabrics is now a top

 Hello, and welcome to my blog.

My finish this week is not quite a finish - but taking a set of blocks to a top.

I wrote in This Post about starting a "quick and easy" new start - nine patch blocks using jelly roll strips of 1930's reproduction fabric from a recent purchase.  Well, it was time for sashing the blocks and setting them together.

Oh no, not all the same size!  I should have measured and trimmed the blocks, I see now.  Maybe the jelly roll strips varied in width, but it's much more likely my seam allowance was not constant.  It was somewhat frustrating.  

Here we are, now a top.  About 60 inches by 80 inches?  The blue of the sashing doesn't quite match the blue of the border fabric.  I purchased both on line so one is at the mercy of your monitor - which affects the color you see.

A corner close up:

I made lots of nine patches and didn't count, so these are my leftovers:

This project has been folded up and is in time out for now.  Not to worry, I have other Unfinished Objects (UFO's) around to keep me busy this summer.
