while rummaging thru the stash, pulled out this prussian blue column print...one of my pretties. it looked lonely so decided to use it for this month's mini. it was just a FQ so none left over, but do have this cute little wall or table piece to enjoy.
block pattern is flyfoot....colors i don't use often but they work.
since i'm away from the village, i've brought some long overdue UFO applique blocks with me that i would love to finish...a 2022 flimsy would be awesome!
and this was my design wall when i left town....more of these strippy blocks...they do sew up fast and lickety split, you have a top....
good news is all the scrap pieces i had got used up and had to visit the stash, pulling some very small pieces. with another birthday just passed, mindful of using up as much as possible....i didn't buy it to donate to the thrift!
Love your mini, the border fabric is beautiful. Pretty baskets.
ReplyDeleteLove your mini quilt for August and I really like how the scrappy quilt is looking. Good luck on the finished flimsy! Hugs Christine xx
ReplyDeleteoh did I miss you birthday........are you a leo too?
ReplyDeletenice mini........
virgo!
DeleteLove your mini quilt. That border fabric is outstanding, a perfect use for your FQ. I also have a sadly neglected applique project like yours-same pattern different colors. Should drag it back out and see what it would take to get a smallish top by the end of the year.
ReplyDeleteLots going on t your place. Your scrap quilt looks great and those baskets are cute. Did we miss your birthday? Hope you had a great day.
ReplyDeleteThinking you are a Virgo ;) While I don't want to send my stash to the thrift I don't mind finding wonderful pieces at the thrift! It makes for a conundrum. I am running to et out my no scrap left behind book now because I see an empty scrap bin in my future. Thanks and have a wonderful vacay!
ReplyDeleteExcellent mini. That blue made a lovely border.
ReplyDeleteHow many baskets do you still need to applique to the backgrounds in order to put the top together?
Your strippy blocks came together quickly!
LOL....like over 200....yeah that strippy thingie sews up quick....
DeleteWell, that is a perfect summer mini! It truly reminds me of all the winds we have had this summer. Hope you are doing well. I will soon be back in the pink and raring to go. Thanks for another great mini. Have a super day!
ReplyDeletegood to hear from you wendy....thanks again for kind words! off to OOB monday for 12 days....
DeleteFlyfoot makes splendid use of that gorgeous border strip; I love it. No worries about the basket blocks, they will wait until the time is right. Enjoy your time away~
ReplyDeleteI really like flyfoot. It adds so much movement to the quilt. Your basket blocks are lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
