Finally...I used some fabric!

My first stash busting post for 2016!

 

I have not been doing well in the

stash busting program!

 

But....I finally have a stash bust!

 

I made some charity baby quilts

using up about all the larger

pieces of flannel I had in my

stash....yeah!

 

Fabric in 2016: 4 yards

Fabric out 2016: 15 yards

 

Total busted: 11 yards

 

It's not much, but it's a start!

 

I had to purchase ( I really did!)

the 4 yards of red and white

fabric for a new project I

could not pass up.

 

The state of Utah Quilt Guild

is doing a state wide project

of red and white quilts to

celebrate a big anniversary in 2017.

 

I love red and white quilts, so...

I had to buy the fabric. (ha ha ha)

 

Here is my start of blocks

 

 

I have made 6, 9 and 12 inch blocks

so far. I want to make a couple of

15 inch and a 18 inch block too.

I am going for a King size quilt.

 

What are you working on?

My first post of 2016!

 

I am feeling very creative this year, and

have set some new sewing goals.

 

The state of Utah Quilt Guild will be

celebrating a big anniversary in 2017

and has asked individuals and local

guilds to make Red and White quilts.

 

The quilts will be part of a touring

exhibit thru the state of Utah during

2017. I love red and white quilts!

 

I am making my own...here are the

first blocks...

 

 

I am basing my blocks on 3 inch

measurements. The blocks

(left to right) are;

 

Rows 1-2: 6 inch

Rows 3-4: 9 inch

Rows 5-6: 12 inch

 

I would also like to make some 15

and maybe one 18 inch block.

 

As part of my hand work, I am

thinking of doing some hand

embroidery in the white centers

of some of the blocks.

 

Todays hand work....back to my

trip around the world. I am going

for a King size.

What are you working on?
