The stash report remains unchanged. I am adding borders and basting a small quilt this week, so I will have a shift in numbers soon.
Quilting, stash busting, sewing, my children (the Assistant, Spunky, Q, JoJo, Miss G, Sneaky Pete, and BJ), and my homestead.

I hope your Saturday is full of fabric and that, if you celebrate Easter, it is holy and happy!

Plugging Away
My bojagi has a little bit of purple in it too.This block was much easier than I thought, so I’m facing the next center block this week. There are so many pieces!

Patchwork in Purple
I did finish this quilt from my box blocks. There will be one more in blue, and I know my 2” strip box is still full, just not packed as tight as at the beginning of last year.

Reprieve
Finally, today I need to finish quilting this quilt. I’m about 75% done, and I’m not choosing a complicated pattern, so that’s my plan for this morning.

Patience
I didn’t finish my New York Beauty block for the week either. The evenings, when I usually sit down and sew while Spunky does homework on my ironing board, were full of meetings and events.
I ran out of time to attach my hexagon section too, so I’ll have to finish it next week. I do have all the pieces cut for the next section, so I’ll work on those.

Discombobulation
I finished my block for the week. I need to starch and properly press each of these, but I won’t do that until I’m ready to sew them together. No need to do it twice!I have the next section ready to attach. I got distracted midweek, or it would already be atttached. If I finish one more section next week, I will only have the final side of my quilt to finish. That means it’s almost time to think about the backing!

Power Outage
Fat quarters for my dye book
Texture, texture, texture.
And I need fabrics in purple too, so this is the batch that is resting and will be rinsed later today.
I did play with red scraps as well. I have 20+ 16 patches finished with a small stack still to pin and stitch. I think there are 14 flowers so far, with maybe 3 more to sew up. My red scraps definitely are not as abundant as green. They are quite cheerful, so they counteract our recent cloudy days nicely.

February Goals
January goals were pretty simple:
1. Trim scraps, work on the next 1-2 hexagon filler pieces, make 16 patches from green scraps, and make a quilt from the RSC 2023 box blocks. All done.

Stash Report Week #5 and 15 Minutes
While I worked on my hexagons every day this week, I also lost a section for the first time. I found my missing hairbrush and the stack of Hanji paper that I spent an hour searching for, but this piece is still gone. Alas.

Whinging
Here’s my whinging for the week: I LOST a piece of my hexagon quilt, for the first time in all the years I’ve worked on it. I can remember working on the inner pieces Monday night, but by Wednesday I couldn’t find them anywhere. I called the dentist (hello, complicated root canal) and checked everywhere at school, and have tidied my sewing room repeatedly. What did I do with it? For now, I’ll set aside the right fabrics so that if it doesn’t turn up, I will remake it. I’m so annoyed with myself (and full well recognize this is what stress does to my brain!).

Many Stitches
My kids have asked all week how soon it’s spring. They aren’t old enough to realize our worst winter weather is in January and February! I have errands to run today, but I hope to spend some time with everyone’s posts for a Rainbow Scrap Challenge weekend.

Rainbow Scrap Challenge: 2024!
16 patches made from 1.5” scraps seem to be one of my favorite easy blocks to return to. The two lap sized ones I have at home are the softest from use.
