Eight "crumb" quilt blocks arranged in 2 columns of 4, attached by thin strips of mottled charcoal grey, lays on the grass. The left hand column are all made of red scraps in various shapes and sizes. In the right hand column, only the middle two blocks are red, while the top and bottom are orange. Some fabric patterns include seashells, robots, flowers, skulls, and celtic knotwork.

Some fabric patterns include owls, space, yoshi, space invaders, batman, koi fish, batik.

Feels good to be back at work on my rainbow crumb quilt. The rest of this top should come together pretty quickly (for me) so long as I don't let my newfound ability to do upright tasks for longer w/o breaks (thnx #POTS meds) screw up my pacing for #hEDS joint care, & cause a flare

An expressionist rose made from layers of blueish print fabrics cut in wobbly shapes to resemble petals, stacked atop each other, decreasing in size laying on a work surface with scissors and scraps of fabric at the edges.

5 1/2 French roses (as previously described) lay against black fabric on a cluttered work table. The fabrics used are reds and pinks, blues, purples, and turquoise, and varied prints some floral, others space or sea shells.

I cut out a new #FrenchRose to join a small pile I've been making for a quilted jacket I've been dreaming up, in anticipation of getting my sewing machine back from the shop finally today. But I should get back to work assembling the rainbow quilt top still laid out

A top view of a crocheted shawl work-in-progress laying on a faded green plastic table in the grass. The triangular project is worked in light green, magenta, light blue, and deep purple stripes that follow the two lower sides of the triangle. The blue does not repeat after the second magenta stripe, and the purple that follows has three rows of double crochet clusters, while the previous stripes all had two rows.

After starting and ripping out 3 diff projects to use up leftover bulky yarn 🧶 I have finally settled on this half granny square shawl. In hindsight I should've done blue before magenta, so it would be enough for a 2nd stripe. But maybe I'll find a clever use for the bits

A variegated magenta hand knit hat, made of bulky yarn, laying flat on a table. The hat has a ribbed edge and a pattern of eyelets throughout

This knit up even faster than I expected. Even with a major mix up on my part when it came to decreasing for the crown, being out of practice reading patterns.
Really needed the satisfaction of a finished object, been a rough week

Four scrappy quilt blocks sew together in a square, with charcoal grey sashing between them. Each block is made of an assortment of scraps in different shapes and prints. The blocks on the left hand side both contain bits of the same pink and red seashell fabric, but the top one is predominantly red, while the bottom is predominantly pink. Both blocks on the right are red.

Channeling my rage into art. Little by little putting the pieces together.
Strictly reigning in the hyperfocal impulse to dive in for hours and get it done, in hopes of avoiding yet another pain flare

Close up of an appliqued blue cartoon tiger on a floral print army green fabric. A mix of machine stitching and hand embroidery give its features texture. Large bright yellow and orange ringed eyes. Sharp teeth and Korean demon style saber teeth protrude from a wide wild grin

The same appliqued Derpy Tiger, from Kpop Demon Hunters, as described in the previous photo, but zoomed out to show the whole back of the child's jacket laying on a crowded work table. The vibrant colors of the recycled t-shirt fabrics used in the tiger really pop against the muted tones of the red and pink flowers and light army green of the jacket.

Really stinkin proud of how this #DerpyTiger #appliqué turned out.
But my hands are gonna be so mad at me.

A quilt block made of assorted blue scraps, primarily in uneven strips, some strips made of smaller scraps. Patterns include batik birds, floral, circles, tiny bunnies, tiny scales, galaxy and stars

A quilt block made of assorted purple scraps in different sized rectangles and triangles. Patterns include dragon scales, stars, galaxy, flowers, and solid.

Final 2 blocks of my rainbow crumb quilt! 9 months of incremental progress. I can't wait to play with layout next, and I wish I had a blank wall to pin them to.

I've never found a hobby yet that wasn't hard on my joints.
And yes I'm saying I have hurt myself reading books...

A scrappy quilt block made up of small and large pieces, about half of them in solid shades of turquoise. The rest in turquoise prints: koi fish, Space Invaders, squiggly lines

A scrappy turquoise quilt block made of many random medium and small triangles and trapezoids. Many of them are solid, a few have koi fish, space invaders, skeleton bones, or squiggles.

My back is pretty mad that my hyperfocus called me back to finish a second block. But that's turquoise done.
And I feel more emotionally regulated

A scrappy quilt block made mostly of many pieces of yellow rose w/ small blue flower print, and a few bits of mustard dragonflies, and yellow background fence post

A scrappy quilt block, 1/3 is a vertical strip of the yellow rose and small blue flower print. The rest is of triangles and strips of the mustard tiny dragonflies, more rose &flowers, the last tiny bits of fence post

I tried to rest all day. But then the game came on and I retreated to my work room, where I ended up squeezing out 2 last crumb quilt blocks from my meager supply of yellow scraps

Back to work on the rainbow crumb quilt. So satisfying and soothing for my little brain to stop thinking about the horrors awhile and sink into pattern matching flow

Haven't been posting much, but I'm on to the purples now. 23 🌈 blocks currently done. Hoping to get to 90, but I don't think I have enough scraps.
Will see what happens after I go through them a second time.
