What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 last report march 29, 2023

I try to work on these 5 quilts until they are done. Their turn in the UFO closet is over, and, they need to be finished one way or another. I decided that for 2023, rather than work a little on each one at a time, I would concentrate on just one. I still use the list to plan and look ahead. 

 This set shows finishes that seemed to take forever to finish. The new ones look more interesting to me as a set. I will be able to jump back and forth when I ...

My finish this Friday is also my one monthly goal  for March. kristals is finished and ready for the next part of it's life.

 This has been a frustrating round of 5 quilts. The quilts were easily finished, but, none of them, were inspiring to me. I am questioning the method. Yet, I know, I have finished ...

kristals is a top. They are brighter than in the pictures. I took the photo at the library. It must be noted, as part of the friendly competetion between Linda and me, I was 4 days ahead of her in finishing the top. And, yep, since I am her longarmer, Guess who will win the finished quilt? But, I love her version, and mine.

I have decided to finish my kristals quilt for March as my one monthly goal. I have 3 blocks together. and I want to make 9. So far, I have the rest of the blocks on the design wall in a sketchy pattern to check for fabrics. The first block was a head scratcher, then, it started to make more sense, and, then, it was fun. Probably true for all challenges in the quilting world.

Flippy corners takes a lot of time... I started a new UFO project here. I really enjoy the colors, but, I am adding three more blocks to the quilt than the smallest size of the directions, and, I have to keep jumping back and forth on the number of pieces I need to sew. These are the very center of each "kristal".

small progress but worth it. This is one of my 5 quilt projects. And as expected, my buddy has one row together sashings and ...

I started a new quilt with a quilting buddy. I cut the print part at an open sew. I still need to cut the background. My initial impression is that the instructions were not written in my way of thinking. I will have to do a lot of repeat reading to understand the next steps. 

I have no business starting anything new this year. I have enough UFOs to last a lifetime that should keep me busy. On the other hand, I have had the pattern long enough, and the fabric pulled long enough, it could be defined as an ...

I haven't done a stash report since July. I had back surgery in July and most of my routines fell apart.
I enjoyed watching the statistics through the year, so, I hope to make this a regular part of my blogging again.
I typically count the fabric that comes in the week of the stash report, but this is an exception. I bought this fabric as a jumbled scrap bag last year at a quilt show. I knew it was hefty, but as I unpacked the bag and folded it, I discovered 10 yards of very yummy fabric.
