WIP Wednesday 2.2.22 -- Happy Groundhog's Day!

Happy Groundhog's Day!

I finished quilting my string quilt.  Now to take it off the frame, trim, and bind.  I quilted it with a large stipple.  It will be soft and fluffy.  I don't usually use polyester batting, but I had a piece that fit this quilt perfectly.

Here's a pic of the completed wonky top.  The binding is already made, so I'm hoping to finish this on Sunday.  I have dedicated some sewing time each Sunday to work on a specific project.  This is the second quilt that I normally wouldn't have worked on that is close to a finish now!  This is working for me!

I finished sewing the Pam Buda From the Heart sew along quilt.  The binding is made.  I did manage to slap it onto the longarm frame.

I finished the mini, Glad Tidings, by Pam Buda.  I started this recently.  These minis are instant gratification to me.  It's fun to have finishes.

I started a couple new projects.  I'm not worried about my WIP list getting bigger because I have several quilts just waiting for it to get warm in the longarm room.  Here's the Kathleen Tracy Valentine Mystery 2022.  I found this sweet little sew along on Facebook.  It's fun to see all the interpretations of the same.  It measures about 13.5" square.  I set this as my small goal to finish for February.

I started a new RSC project.  This pattern is called Random Ohio Stars!  It's a free pattern on Bonnie Hunter's site.  I plan to make three stars in the color of the month for RSC.

Another RSC project that was moved forward this week was Folk Art Birds.  Woohoo!

More 3.5" rail fence blocks were made.  421 of 900 complete.

I slightly tamed my 2.5" scrap bin this week.  I'm not a fan when it's so full that everything is wrinkled and smashed in there.  Here's the before pic.  I pieced rows of five blocks to make waffle blocks to move that project forward.

Here's the "after" photo -- a tiny dent was put into the 2.5" blocks.

I'm also pulling Halloween colors like orange, purple, green, and black out of this bin to move along another WIP called Cheddar Jack.  I'm still thinking about the design in my brain right now.  It will come to me.
