It's been a while, but I'm back to my rainbow disappearing nine blocks. This will probably be the next quilt I finish up. I still love how these look, and it's great to use up scraps.

It is sad. It was all very sudden, so no one around here has processed it yet.

Quilt made of patchwork squares and half-square triangles. Christmas patterns. It is a 10 inch square mini-quilt.

A local quilt shop is closing, so their entire inventory was 55% off. I treated myself too a bunch of new patterns, and a few cute small project kits. This is a 10-in Square Mini quilt. Fussy, but kept me busy. I think it turned out cute.

Baby quilt with a star made of patterened triangles ans a pink background.

Bright patchwork flannel quilt in orange, green, pink, and white patterned pieces bound in pink.

#quilting #quiltsky I got a free charm pack at a quilt shop event, & decided to try out this baby quilt. I really like it, and I'm proud of myself for not getting too bogged down in making it balanced and orderly. Trying to learn to lean into the chaos. Also got the binding done on an old project.

Dropping off quilts tomorrow to my longarmer, so I finally finished the borders on this Xmas quilt. Great way to showcase a lot of fun Christmas fabrics!

You buy the fabric in pre-cut two and a half inch strips. For the one I made, you sew them all together end to end before you start to construct the quilt. Then it's kind of variegated throughout the project. There are lots of other configurations you can do with them.

Quilt top pieced from rainbow jelly roll featuring dark purple hearts throughout.

Finally got around to trimming this jelly roll quilt and getting the border on. It's going to be a graduation present. It's my first jelly roll project, and I'm not sure that I like the medium, but I'm happy with how it turned out.

Here's the other quilt...

I'm tricking myself into getting some projects done. I REALLY want to bind my dress quilt, but it's a patchwork binding, so I need binding scraps to sew together. I bound 5 small quilts today (2 made from a friend's flannel scraps, and 3 rescued vintage patchwork tops.) Progress!

I felt motivated today, so I went ahead and finished the quilt top. I am very pleased with the result.

Spring Break & Easter did not allow me much time for sewing, but this week, I finished the blocks for my book quilt. Cannot wait to see this one all put together.

3 book quilt blocks & 1 quilt block of a stack of four books.

#quilting #quiltsky
Last of the single books done! Just a few more stacks and I can put them all together!

I finally finished the bobbin wall-hanging for the quilt shop I work at part-time! I'm torn between the pins or the seam rippers for the next one. Also got another stack of books done. Woot!

I needed something simple to make while I multitasked during a zoom call. At this rate, I will be ready to sash the book quilt pretty soon.

I get it 100%. One of my New Year's resolutions this year was to try to lean into chaos. Some things I've been able to let go of, but other things are tougher.

I am having fun with it, and using up a ton of white from my scrap bag, as well as some of the longer thin scraps I have. I can't wait to see it all put together.

Added another stack of books for one quilt and added a few more sections to the bobbin wall hanging. I like how it is coming along.

This was a week full of commitments. I had 4 events in 3 days, and had to make 200 cake balls for one of them. It felt good to be back in the sewing room. I managed to get through three more disappearing 9-blocks, and start on a commission for a quilt shop I work at part-time.

Wait until you see the other 4 patterns. They are beautiful!

I have an upcoming project that is going to involve a lot of paper piecing, so I'm trying to get back in practice. I couldn't resist a new pack of five Floral patterns. I decided to start with the poppy.

There is a designer on etsy that has a whole Christmas cat collection. They are ADORABLE!

I wasn't sure what I was in the mood to sew once I made it to my sewing room. I made hearts from my jelly roll scraps, but then felt in the mood to do a fussy paper piece pattern that I impulse bought after christmas. It turned out OK, but I forgot to switch to Black thread.

2 book quilt blocks. The left is green patterned book with purple bookmark. The right is a gold patterned book with gray bookmark.

Today was extremely busy, but I had about 45 minutes, so I made a couple book blocks before heading to my second job. I bought some FPP patterns today on a whim. I cannot wait to make them for display in the quilt shop I work at. I'll maybe have time to start on them next week.

I love the colors!

I will. I have been posting my projects since Jan 1st. That way I can look back at everything I've made this year.

Scraps.

3 disappearing 9-block quilt blocks, one in green, one in blue, and one in yellow.

#quilting #quiltsky
Got a few quick disappearing nine blocks done during my weekly Zoom call with my mom and aunt. I'm really enjoying how these are coming together. Can't wait to have a whole quilt's worth.

Awww! Thank you! I'm definitely going to make variations of it, because it uses so many different Xmas fabrics, and I have a huge stash.

Yellow & white doll quilt made from milky & flannel with a cute bee pattern.

#quilting #quiltsky
Woke up fairly early this morning and made this little guy in his Ghostbusters PJs. Then after work, was inspired to finish a few small projects, so I got around to binding some former UFOs that I finished up last fall. The gold & black is just a throw, and the minky doll sized.

Two quilt blocks of books with bookmarks. Both are red patterns.

7 book quilt blocks. 4 red, 2 blue, and 1 green.

#quilting #quiltsky
Today was busy for a Saturday, but I managed to squeeze in a couple of book blocks. I realized that four of the seven books I have completed are red, so I picked up some fat quarters in gold, greens, and grays, to mix it up a little bit.
