Roundup


I made a big push to complete the 1" square king size. 

I decided to border it in black and white.


When your  1 1/2" finished leader ender triangles look enormous........................!

I only have ONE border to sew on and the top is done.

I ironed a bit more of the stash of strings, but got bored before I trimmed them, it can wait for a wet winter afternoon

I put together a few blocks for ocean waves, as the dump draw for sewn hsts was full

***

I had a week sitting two dogs and two cats. I didn't get many hexies done, as you can see, all four thought I was there to provide a lap!   Love those four though! 

Progress is good, just have the edges to square off now.

Not much progress on the gansey inspired jacket, though I have started on a sleeve

I finished a seaweed scarf for a gift

I finished grandpuppy Archie's blankie made from shirt parts and batting scraps, double thick, quickly quilted.

 Two more placemats bound and borders sewn to two garlic knots Linus quilts

Thats it!

This week


 
 I have been ironing the stash of strips and strings that were sewing up in three batches over the last year. That's a 64 litre bin under that pile! I have another refuse sack full, probably about the same.

 These are  ironed, only the trimming to do.....

I am cutting some as standard 4" for a scrappy piano key border




The rest are various widths. I think there will be enough for at least four king sized quilts, with yards of piano key border!

I have decided to use the 1 1/2 " finished leader ender triangles to make Bonnie's Ocean Waves 

Some way to go!

A little more of the 1 " postage stamp quilt ...... I am saving two of every set, for a future project.
 

This is about 1/3 complete
