Making progress

I decided it was time to dig out a UFO and get some progress made. I first started this quilt in January 2017 as part of the RSC. I didn't know what I was making the blocks for yet. I was just making 6.5" blocks in the months colors. In January 2018, as part of the RSC I started turning the 6.5" blocks into stars.

Just recently I started making the chains to so I could get the quilt top completed.

String quilt plan

When I dumped out the Walmart bag, I came up with a plan. I've been slowly adding blocks and seeing my plan come to life.

More scraps and a plan

I sorted out the red scraps from the walmart bag full of scraps.

And the pink scraps

And made a plan for my strings.

How much fabric scraps can you stuff in a Walmart bag?

I had a very stuffed Walmart bag full of scraps in my room, so I decided to dump it out and get it sorted by color.

I got the orange cut into different sizes and sorted into by Orange box.

And the purple too!

Working on the red now. Not sure if I'll do much more after the red, we will have to see. I'm going to need to buy a new rotary blade soon.

v, w and sorting

I got v and w done. Now I need to go shopping to figure out the rest of the letters left.

I'm debating about this one for n. (music) notes. Do you think it works?

I decided since I had no more fabric to use to make letters I would sort through a bag of scrap novelty fabric.

The bag still has a lot left in it!

Rainbow Scrap Challenge

I'll be participating again in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I'm planning on doing the RSC sampler. but I'm also looking at other projects to use up my scraps.

This Rainbow Irish Chainhas been in my list for a while now.

I recently seen a rainbow version of The village quilt and I plan on doing that.

I also think making these fish out of crumb blocks would be fun.

I also plan on finishing the rainbow Scrap quilt I have started.

I would also love to do this quilt.

Squeezed in one more

I finished another quilt for SBB Heartbuilders. I managed to get this one done on the 31st of December. I completed 4 charity quilt tops in 2018.

Here's the scraps they sent me.

And here is the finished top:

Donation quilt

I got this scrap pack from SBB Heartbuilders a while ago and finally got around to getting it ironed, sorted and made into a quilt top.

What I am working on.

I decided to start another color book and then I thought why not two? One for my niece and one for my great nephew.

2 red pages.

2 orange pages.

And 2 yellow pages.

I'm also working on a set of I spy rag letters for my son.

C,D,E,F,G,W,Y

M,O,P,Q,

B

I need to find more fabrics for the letter.

Red Scraps

Finishing up a project that I hope to share soon. Decided I needed to clear some space. Started cutting my red Scraps to sort into my red box.

In the bin all sorted.

hearts

The plan was to post everyday during RAK Week, but things came up.

I did get some hearts made to hide for I found a Quilted Heart.

I Spy

I went to put some fabric in my I Spy box, and noticed it was a mess. So I spent a some time cutting up fabric scraps into usable sizes:

All put back in box. (Wish I would have taken a before picture.)

Blue

Remember last year for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge, I made a bunch of 6.5" squares in the colors. Here's some of the blue.

I decided to turn them into the RSC15 quilt.

I switched a few of the blocks around.

Here's the 3 blue stars I need:

Happy New Year!

So I failed at staying up with the kids to watch the ball drop on TV. I fell asleep around 9:30. (But I get up at 5 AM for work, so my body doesn't like to stay up late).

I got a pattern from someone on FB. I've been looking all over for this pattern and couldn't find it, and someone offered to send it to me. My plan is to make memory bears out of my FIL's clothes.

To practice I made a Halloween bear.

The start of a color book

I decided to make my niece a color book.

I dumped out the two walmart bags of scraps I had in my room, spent a while sorting them out by color and putting them in ziplock bags. And the last two days I've been sewing up pages.

Today I took out my embroidery machine and added the color words.

Now to decide on what to do for the cover and back and sew it all into a book.

Project Linus quilt

I turned my pile of scraps...

into a quilt top for Project Linus.

Now it goes to my Team Leader for quilting and binding.

Blue

The month of July at Rainbow Scrap Challenge, is Blue.

Here's my blue bin.

Here it is all dumped out.

I managed to make 4 blocks, before I had to pack it all back up again. I hope I can get it out again soon, but we'll see.

More Quilted Hearts

I made a few more hearts this morning.

I found a quilted heart.

Quilted Hearts

Today is my 16th Anniversary, and my husband has to work!

So I spent the morning, before the kids all got up, sewing quilted hearts.

Now I have to take the kids around to hide these. I found a quilted heart.
