My basket of completed handles was getting full. I completed 18 more baskets this week. These blocks are multiplying faster than I ever thought that they would. They are not perfect, but they are super fun.
77 baskets of 202 needed for the quilt are now complete. My baskets are trimmed to 4.25" vs. the recommended 4.5" unfinished block due to wonkiness. 52.5" x 64.5" finished is the quilt pattern size. I'll most likely go with those numbers--give or take.
I'm linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching here.
These three were stitched in the art room that I subbed. I LOVE subbing for this particular art teacher. She always gives me first dibs to cover her absences. The kids there call me the ART SUB -- and I love it!
I also stitched circles on one Dicey block this week in aqua blue (Rainbow Scrap Challenge 2025.). This block has not been pressed yet. You can still see the marks from my Frixon pen and the grooves on the outer edges of the circles. I Accuquilt cut and sewed a bunch of chisels together this week to prep for more blocks. I like to stay ahead on the prep work because I am really enjoying my slow stitching!

You are making such great progress with the baskets! At this rate you'll have them all pieced and ready to sew together when school is out in June. Dicey is going to be another good quilt, happy stitching!
