- 2.5” squares swap – no idea what I’m going to do with these yet but they are 400 squares swapped with some of our IPS branch members so a mix of my fabrics and 14 others! Should be a fun project to work on – any ideas?
You have been busy. Wow. I have never heard of Swoon before, but this is the second one I've seen this week. Time to go investigate. Happy sewing this week.
ReplyDeleteWow, congratulations on a great quarter and I hope the next one is full of great finishes, too! :)
ReplyDeleteI cut 2.5 inch squares from my scraps and stash them for a future scrappy project – maybe an Irish chain, maybe a simply sashed quilt of 25-patch blocks or maybe something else. I will be interested to see what you do with your swap squares. Have you seen Red Pepper Quilts' latest quilt? Something like that, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteBeing away for a while, I was one of the last one to link, I almost missed the linky myself ... Good luck with all your finishes!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of the 2.5” squares swap ... Happy summer!!
I like the idea of posting goals like this every so often to stay accountable and also to remember everything on the list! Lol. You've finished so many awesome projects, great job!
ReplyDeleteMy gosh, when you group them all in one post it is even more impressive Ruth! You had an amazing quarter! I keep looking closely at your projects. Lots and lots of great inspiration and I pinned a few too!
ReplyDeleteYou have done a lot. Those hedgehog still make me wants to do.... might give in soon.
ReplyDeleteYou did have a great quarter Ruth with lots of wonderful finishes. Your Triangle-A-Long quilt is spectacular :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame you missed linking up, but summer is awfully hectic here too. Completely understandable. Next quarter for sure. I love your works in progress, and look forward to seeing those finishes. You seem to be on a colorful track, and there's such joy there!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if it's helpful to you or not, but I've started keeping a hard copy calendar of things for IRL: doctor, birthdays, etc., and another for sewing, quilting, blogging, business (taxes, etc.) The number of things I need to remember has recently multiplied by many degrees, and I've also missed a couple of deadlines I shouldn't have. It not only reminds me visually that things are coming up, but I'm losing the anxiety of juggling to remember on to top of being disspointed I've forgotten. It may not be your thing at all, but thought I'd throw it out to you. List making has also been good for me, though.

You did have a great quarter. Wishing you an even better one. Have you thought about a nine patch quilt?
ReplyDeleteIrish Chain! Although I'm not sure what you would use for background, some of those prints look fairly light coloured.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame you forgot to link up. Really nice projects. Good luck for Q3!
ReplyDeleteSo many great finishes, Ruth! And your list for Q3 is sure to result in more :) As for those squares, how about a postage stamp quilt? 16 patch style. I always admire them when I see them. Maybe a leader/ender project?
