Late in the day, but still posting

I am going to try and keep up on posting each week.
 
No changes in my stash busting.
I did sew this week, but all the
fabric came from my local quilt guild.
We are creating a charity quilt to
donate in the Fall at the
Utah State Quilt Guild conference.

 
These are my 5 blocks.
Someone donated fabric, which we are
sewing into 12 inch blocks.
The colors are a little off, but I
think it will make a beautiful quilt.
 
My slow stitching is my
Trip Around the World quilt.
When you starting sewing around
rows 32 and on, each row takes
about 130 plus squares.
It takes a long while to
complete that much sewing by hand!
 
So...what are you working on?

Oh my goodness!

I set the goal to post a couple times a month,
but I haven't done very well, have I?
 
On the stash busting front, my numbers
have not changed at all. I have purchased
flannel for charity baby quilts, but
sewn them right up and sent them out.
 
I am still at 12.5 yards busted!
 
For my slow sewing, I am working
on hand  piecing the Trip Around
the World quilt I started with a
Facebook group. I am at row 32,
which is about 2300 two inch squares.
 
 
 
I am going to continue and make a
King size quilt. Right now, it is almost
a Queen size.
 
I celebrated a birthday recently and
set the goal to
sew a little EVERY DAY until my
next birthday. So far...so good!
 
What are you creating today?
