Hello, and welcome to my blog. After the rush of the holidays I was able to get back to my sewing area and make some progress.
I had two shoe boxes overflowing with 2 inch fabric strips and squares, and I made a a top using the Clean Up pattern, by Quilted Twins. It is described in my previous blog post. This did not deplete the shoe boxes very much, and I made another top using the 2 inch fabric squares and a constant sage green fabric. It looks like this:
And a close up view:
This top is now about 53 by 67 inches. It used up scraps at a slower rate, so this is what my shoe boxes look like now:
Argh. I am now prepping 2 inch squares for a quilt block 5 by 5 squares, with some narrow sashing, which ought to use these squares faster. Let's make lots of blocks! That's this week's project.
I also got distracted by a new project. I purchased a jelly roll of ocean fabric and I am making log cabin blocks, along with my Stashbuster group. The image below shows 15 bigger blocks, and a pile of 5 blocks that got lost behind the sewing machine, and need some more strips sewn on. I am waiting on an infusion of more fabric from this fabric line.
The jelly roll had many strips of medium value, so it's been a fun challenge. That's my update for this week.
