Quilting and other Things

Its been a very productive month in my quilting world.  I did get out to the long arm studio and got the first half of my quilt done.  Decided to do match stick quilting in the background and circles in the design part.  The match stick quilting is done but it was getting on and I was getting very tired so I'll take the quilt back next month to finish.  Should be faster (I hope).  The threads are all buried for the background.  I do need to clear the cutting table, trim the excess batting and mark the general outline of what I want to quilt in the middle.   I joined an Out of the Box class.  Our first month was to play with any form of log cabin blocks in our favourite colour.  These are my left over half log cabin blocks from Longtime Gone.  I replaced them with different variations.  These got sewn together, cut like a disappearing 4 patch and the middle sections switched around and re-sewn.  Some of the seams were interesting - the logs are small so in some places there are seam

Three Goals this month 1.  Quilt my Abstraction quilt.  I have an appointment shortly to go quilt it.  The store has re-opened after the lockdown and I'll head over to quilt it.  Looking forward to that. 2. Complete the aqua / Teal blocks for my rainbow scrappy quilt.  I've cut all the components and sewn the smallest four patches.  They are ready to be ender and leaders over the month to turn into triple four patch blocks.  I have 10 prepared.  I think that will be enough. I ended up pulling out my 3 in 1 colour tool, finding the blue/green pages and as I pulled potential fabrics from the blue and green buckets held them against the card.  A lot of the fabric did come from the buckets but some came from the shelf.  If it came from the shelf, I looked for pieces that I had already cut into so that it stays scrappy not only in colour but in using up the left over fabrics.  So far none of the buckets look that much emptier.  3.
