100 Blocks 100 Days Finish

I grabbed my scrappy binding and got stitching. 

I love all the little details in this quilt. Look at that little skeleton!

I used almost 30 feet of binding and I didn't even make a dent in that bin of leftover binding. 

This was my all-time favorite sampler quilt. Just a great project.

Charity Quilting

After a slow start to my week (I was doing things not fun, nor crafty) I finally picked up some speed. 

First, I pieced a little charity quilt using some 5" squares I had leftover from other projects. 

Laying them out was likely the longest part of making this quilt. I didn't have that many sets of five to make the pluses. In the end I think it worked out fine. I may need to see how many more charm squares I have and make another. 

This little cutie was mad using even more leftovers. This time, the 2.5" squares and the 4.5" squares. I love taking these little bits of leftover fabric and making a quilt. So satisfying.

I donate my time, my machine, my thread, and my skill to the cause. 

My personal goal is to quilt at least one quilt per week throughout the year. To that end, check out the EpochConverter for 2022 to see how I'm stacking up.

Crazy Week

This week has been a little crazy. Not bad. Just not as productive as I wanted it to be. 

As a demonstration, here is what my cutting table looked like at bedtime on Tuesday. Hopefully I will have something more substantial to share on Friday. Enjoy the rest of your week!

100 Blocks 100 Days

I finished my blocks in October 2021. 

I managed to get the blocks arranged and sewn up in March 2022. These things don't happen quickly. I added a 3" border to frame those 100 blocks. 

I even pieced the backing, because that's how scrappy quilts can be. 

For binding, I dug into my bin of leftover binding. Yes, this is a thing some quilters have. Mine never gets enough love. There are so many leftover pieces. I need to come up with another good scrappy idea to use some more of it up. 

I spend a bunch of time trying to figure out which quilting design to use. I landed on this great flame design from Urban Elementz called Heatwave. I didn't hesitate to pick that pink thread. I will share the finished quilt once I get the quilting finished and the binding attached. 

If you are on the fence about trying out this pattern you can check out the great images folks are sharing on Instagram under #100days100blocks2021. Finished quilts are now showing up so you can see how people are putting these blocks together.
