The light fabrics were all in my stash but I had to go out and add to my blacks.
I currently have all the half square triangles sewn together and pressed. This project may go with me when I visit my daughter next week. She has my mother's sewing machine and is learning to sew.
I used 5 inch squares to start with because I had some already cut.
This is another scrap project I started and didn't get very far on because I need more Ocean life fabrics. They have been ordered and are on their way. I haven't decided if I will place them randomly or put squares of the same fabric in the same area of the quilt. I will have to play with it when I have the blocks made. Maybe diagonal rows of all the same animals????
This is a quilt I started with the plans of having it grace my dining table. If you look closely, you will see the focus fabric has teacups and teapots along with birds and flowers.
This is ready to sew into rows and may also go with me on my trip next week.
Then, I need to get our new bikes moved into the garage so I can quilt some of these flimsies. I have about 10 waiting to be quilted! And another 100 waiting to be completed tops. But, I think I will venture to some quilt shops today that I haven't been to in a long time. I have really been working on using my stash and am doing pretty good but variety is slowly dwindling. I may need to take some focus fabrics with me to match them.
I am happily spending more time in my sewing room this summer. It gets pretty neglected during the school year. I am trying to decide what makes me want to work on one project over another. I have so many things started that need finishing...Any pointers?
