I have a new challenge in mind that I will post mid month and give you ample time to complete it! Can't wait to see scrap crystals, although I'm sure Bev will be happier about it. Carol

I have another idea for a new challenge but I will likely wait until the end of May and make it a summer challenge. Too much going on. Carol

I have all the blocks, sashing pieces, and corner stones sewn. Tomorrow I can press them and get the center put together.

I had to unpick at least five blocks that I had tried to quilt on platypus and the thread kept breaking. So today, I sat at my Viking with the FMQ and quilted it with rulers. Going well and using a variegated thread I couldn't use on Platypus. Carol

I went to yoga yesterday and it was great. However, a bit of nausea went with me. Was afraid to bend over so the instructor had us do everything laying on our backs. Be happy when this nausea lifts. Felt good all day. I need to get off of here and go to the exercise at 10:00/ Carol

Still not quilting but at least she is pinned together. I'm thinking I will have to quilt her on the viking but lots of other stuff I need to do prior to that. Like clean off the space. Watch for April! New challenge coming up! Carol

I took the quilt to the LQS yesterday and got some help. I've done most of the tasks suggested. I bought a new pack of needles but didn't see but one size. I'm thinking, because of the batiks, I will quilt this on my Viking instead. Too much trauma and I need to get something out that I can practice on with Platypus to make sure she still loves me.

I have to use a bigger needle with batiks to keep the thread from shredding.
I remeasured my sashing blue and think I will have enough to make the full size quilt. So had to make some more HSTs and 2 more blocks.

I had a fit trying to get Platypus to cooperate to quilt mocha swirls. Finally gave up and will put it aside to find another way. I hope I have the tension right now but it is so frustrating. Had to pick it all out, what I did. I'm thinking Platypus did not like the batiks I used. CArol

Hey, Bev, we all have unpronounced points at times. Press on. An early Bonnie quilt I did features volcanos along the side instead of triangles with points. Carol

I love all of the finishes! I finally found a quilt block from a quilt book that I'm going to use for charity quilt three. So I'm too late to actually do the challenge on time, but I will do it this year. :)

Here is the finished wall hanging top.
And here is the top so far.
I may end up making it square, gotta see how much of the blue in the sashing I have left.

One more day to finish your project, or let us know how you did! I am so proud of us for taking this on and actually getting to the point of finishing. If not for this challenge, those fabrics I used would still be in the drawer. Now I need to think about what to do with the leftovers. Carol

Thanks Bev, leaving it. And I have a few extra blocks so I'm going to make a large toss pillow and try to sell this on Etsy. Trouble is, I want too much money. But I think I should keep my prices high so I dont have to raise them. The quilt, $250 but might be too much. When you think about what went into it, its not too much. Carol

Since I have more of the paisley fabric, I was thinking of adding another 3/4" finished strip and then another 4" border paisley strip. Would make the quilt about 62 by 70. What do you think. Would be an interesting look. Carol

The top is done and finished at 52 by 59 which is a decent lap quilt. Could have done more blocks to make it bigger but got tired of it. Turned out well! Now to quilt it. Thanks for the journey and the challenge. The small brown border was 3 strips of a batik that Bev sent me, 2 1/2" wide. I cut them in half lengthwise and sewed them to gether to finish at 3/4" in the quilt. The brown was needed. I could add another row of piano keys or 2 1/2" squares. What do you think? Carol

So I had 25 blocks that worked in the quilt and trimmed them all up and sewed them together. But the quilt isn't going to be very big and I had run out of backgrounds. So I took the BGs I had to the LQS and found 5 one quarter yard pieces and a fat quarter I felt would work to blend in with what I had made to make more blocks. Oh, pooh, more blocks. I needed the black batiks that I still had but I had put them away somewhere. I searched and searched, retracing my steps and just couldn't find them. So I took a nap. Then I looked in one last bag when I got up and there they were. So I plan to make 10 more to make a bigger quilt. Found a black batik I can use for a small border with my bigger border. Will be glad to get this done. If it hadn't been with this group, not sure where I would be on this. I didn't pick a very fun pattern but it will be striking and I will get this finished prior to March 15. Carol

Yep, progress. I really thought I'd have a top but no. I think I made the mistake of not making blocks with mostly blacks as the other colors I used didn't go with the border. But it will be two quilts eventually. Carol

I finished all the blocks but only half of them go with the border I want to use. So I'll be making two smaller quilts. Now I need a brown batik for an inner border before I can finish. Not sure I have any. I will finish one quilt for this challenge, a small lap quilt. Might be a donation. Carol

I am so pleased that we hooked onto this challenge! The pattern I selected was more tedious than I thought. Almost finished with the center portion. I am lacking 2 blocks for 35 but I'm thinking of cutting squares out of the border fabric for each corner and nixing the blocks I dont care for. We shall see. I want a done top today. Carol

I like that pattern Carrie! I have tons of 2 1/2" squares. Could easily duplicate it. Once I get my samples donated, all of the quilt books are coming in to sit by my computer on the shelf I had samples on. It will clean up the living room bookcase. I'll be working on my project tomorrow and hopefully finishing it up. Carol

Well, I finally got a picture of the book .
and the quilt pattern..."Forties FourSquare" I chose this pattern because I needed something that had a lot of squares.
I have finished the top and made the backing and binding. I need to quilt it. I will get a picture when I am done.

Scrap Crystals might be in my life someday. After the Dust off a quilt book event, we are going to have another event. This has been good as some of us have completed, or will complete this effort. Mine is happening on saturday. Carol

I never knew Scrap Crystals was so popular till I started making it.
I trimmed tiny squares till my back had spasms. Gonna sew some strips tomorrow to give myself a break.

I have to change my long arm adventure as I have a decorating appmt to take Stacy on. Prior client and will take her and train her how to do it. I'l make sure there is a bit of money in it for me. I need to pack up for my sewing retreat this weekend. I WILL finish the stash book top! I have some old Quiltmaker 100 block mags. Bonnie's Scrap Crystals was one of the blocks in it.

How is everyone doing? I know Amy is done and Jullie might be done. Bev and I are working on ours. March 15 is the time to finish! Top only, not necessary to have the quilt quilted. Maybe, if I can finish it this weekend at retreat, I can take it to the long arm on March 5. I already have a plan for the next stash item to challenge us with. Due at the end of June! Carol

Guild is having a 2 day retreat, March 2 and 3. I think I will be working on the stash quilt blocks as the first thing I start with. I could knock them out and finish that thing up. Whose idea was that anyway? Ripples and Reflections might even come out in view as well. Carol

Amy, you are quick! Deciding how to quilt has always been my problem. I think that is one reason I have so many UFO tops. Even when I know what I want to do, I struggle with repeating patterns consistently from top to bottom.

Quilting is not required to be finished. I'm aiming for a finished top. The hop starts today and I just read one of the blogs for today. The first had string piecing included. Check them out. I just perused through all of them and it was fun to visit other blogs. Most had just a simple project, unlike me who has to make a whole large quilt. Carol

I cut some more pieces today. Was going to make mine a lap quilt, but decided to make it larger and give to our minister as a going away gift from the church. I'll let everyone sign the back.
