350 Block Project 2015- May's Report

This Month's goal is 30 Blocks.
Prairie Moon Quilts runs the 350 Blocks Project: 2015. It is a great challenge to record the year's quilting journey. It is like a monthly quilting diary and I wonder if I can collate the 12 monthly post for myself  for future reminiscing.  May's report for the 350 Blocks Project: 2105. Here we go.
What a slow start to May.  In the first 10 days on May I had managed 8 Four patch blocks.

Working at putting my Inklingo Stars together. 5 for the blocks going together into rows and 5 more for the rows being joined. Now for the borders. So that is 4 more for a total of 14.

Next I joined my lozenge quilt rows together so there is another 8 to the total and another quilt top for the quilting pile. I better plan a quilting weekend and finish a few of these or get them to my longarm quilting expert so she can quilt for me.

Sewing rows together has allow me to make some more Idaho Square Dance blocks as leaders and enders.       4 blocks completed this month.

 A couple more hexagon flowers completed for my black and white hexagon quilt.

May Vacation Time block is completed.

 3 x RSC Green blocks have also completed.

Plus I joined Christa's Paper Piecing Quilt Along to expand my paper piecing skills. A technique I really want to work on. So 1 more block to the total.

Plus 2 Windmill blocks from my Rainbow Batik Sampler.

 I am happy to get this much done after such a slow start. Maybe June will have more sewing time in it.

The Month's total is 43.

Until Next Time

Unfinished Projects- I need to finish something.

This week I have been working on ........................ It turns out not a lot on the sewing machine. I am hoping June will provide me with some more sewing time. I have a number of new projects I want to start on, plus I want to finish half a dozen projects they are either ready for quilting or just need borders.
So what I have done is selected 3 quilts that I am going to try finishing during June.
I just need to do the binding on my Pies & Tarts quilt now that I have finished the hand quilting.

My Lozenge quilt is ready for quilting and I have decided on the quilting so lets get the quilt basted so I can do.

Lastly my Inklingo star quilt is ready for quilting I am still haven't decided on how I am going to quilt it but then again I can't think what to call this star quilt but at least I can get it basted ready for quilting.

So let's see how I go during June. I know there are other deadlines I need to meet in June so I can't promise all three will get finished but at least I have made the commitment to try.

 Join us in finishing something in June.

Until next time

Rainbow Scrap Challenge #6

This month's colour is green. So I know there is plenty in my stash for these blocks. Here are a few I pulled for this month's blocks. Yes there is a little bit of blue  peeking out  amongst the green. It is part of a green stripe, I will cut around it if I have to.

There is 3 blocks this month and with the shortage of time on my hands I cut the centres of the blocks one night. Then the next night I pieced the blocks.

Then cut and sewed the sawtooth star part of the blocks to complete them the following night,  just enough time to write this post and squeeze it in before the month finished.

 The second block is my favourite this month. As I write this post next month's colour has just been released it is Light Blue.

Until Next Time
