I'm afraid I'm not doing much work with just orange these days. Since I have so many block sets ready to put together, I'm trying to get a few flimsies assembled and potentially basted in the next few weeks.
I was dismayed that, in tidying up, to make room for a sewing table for the Assistant, I discovered multiple bags of untamed scraps, left from clothes making, backings, and large prints. Ugh. Here I thought I was doing so well keeping up. I guess a goal for the next few weeks will be so see how many of these bags (5?) I can tackle before the baby comes. My cutting table is currently the coffee table, so I have to sit on the floor to cut, and I can only do that for a few minutes at a time.
I intended to have a picture of the layout for my 9s and 6s, since it includes orange, but it's rolled up in a sheet to keep it safely in order.
The Assistant chose this layout after arranging the blocks a few times. It works for me, since this will be for one of her teachers! I have the blocks sewn into four-patches, and over the next few weeks hope to get it to flimsy stage.
Meanwhile, next week, I want to baste my Carrie Nation top and prep it for quilting, as there's only one quilt left in my "currently quilting" pile (the "dreaded" double wedding ring quilt for my younger sister is nearing completion)! Maybe if I'm not in too much pain (my hips are not what they were, at 37 weeks), I'll also baste this rainbow sampler. First, though, I'll need to piece a scrappy batting. That box that I moved with two years ago still has batting scraps. It's time for it to go!
JoJo is safely on the mend, with stitches out on Monday and just bruising left. So far, we've stayed inside a lot to keep him from getting the cut dirty until it heals thoroughly. Of course, the temperatures have shot up to nearly 100 several days this week, so I'm happy to stay inside.
Be sure to check out more orange projects every Saturday this month as part of the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
