The Covid Quilt Finished from Wedding Dress Blue

In March of 2020 I started mindless piecing a leader-ender 16 patch using 1-1/2″ squares. The pieces became blocks and the blocks became piles.

The first week of April, those piles became a quilt.

A total of 360 blocks, or 5760 pieces.

The finish isn’t large, but I love it. It now occupies the bed in Sparkle Jane’s former room.

Slow Assembly from Wedding Dress Blue

While it takes a long time to build the blocks for a quilt made out of 1-1/2″ squares, it also takes a long time to assemble those blocks.

There are 360 blocks. The final layout will finish at 80″ x 72″ and contain 5760 pieces. One. Block. At. A. Time.

360 Of 360: A Covid Year In The Making from Wedding Dress Blue

March of 2020 I started a mindless leader-ender using 1-1/2″ squares. I wasn’t sure where it was going. No one guessed where we were going.

On Sunday, March 21, 2021, I finished the 360th block. And have declared that that is enough.

It is quite a pile.

This is the last block. Such a place of honor.

And now to sew them together. Bits and pieces…kind of like this past year.

A Practical Thing and Some Pretty Quilts from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Here is my finish for the week. Can you guess what it is?

Here is a bit of a back story. For years now, I have been trying to minimize the amount of garbage I create. And I have to say, this covid business can sure challenge that goal.

The last time I went to the grocery store, I didn't want to use a single use sanitizing wipe (or trust that they were previously wiped down well), so I grabbed a clean hand towel from home to wrap around the handle of the cart.

Well, I have another trip ...

Something New and Easy from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

One of the tasks I have been working on during my sheltering is to try and clean out some of my odd stash and larger scraps. I use these fabric cuts as "seeds" for making quilts.

Last night I came across some long strips I shoved in a box after trimming a previous quilt. These were what was trimmed from the backing. I decided to cut them into a uniform 5" wide.

I then pulled some chunks of solids and cut them into half hexagons using my Hex n More ruler. I cut these at 4.5" wide.

That is ...
