Yesterday morning I awoke from a nightmare around 4 am - I'd gone away for the weekend and someone had broken into my home and stolen all my electronics, even my KitchenAid appliances. But once I determined that my quilts and fabric stash were untouched, I felt very lucky!
March is here, we have hopes for a big blizzard this week thanks to Winter Storm Stella (which means staying home to sew time), and testing for Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks Volume 15 is complete. Quiltmaker sent me a gorgeous package as way of thanks and I've already volunteered for Volume 16!
It took me a couple of weeks to sort through my stash of scraps to continue work on the Fiesta Tiles block, but I finally did it. My bin of bits is manageable again, even though my Honey thought it was the end of the world since I was throwing out fabric. Here are a few of the pieces I came across, wondering why on earth I kept bits so darn small!
I've got quite a few blocks mostly made but will still need to make a bunch more. This is turning into a celebration quilt looking back on my 25 years of quilting, as I'm finding bits of pretty much every quilt I've ever made (including a lot I never even caught in photographs).
I've been pulling on my math skills to strip piece the black and white segments with the help of Janet Kime's Border Workbook. It's easier than following the individual cutting instructions for one block in the magazine:
I have a few other things going on as well, including some machine quilting and hand piecing. I'll post more soon.
