The top is the navy blue Scraptastic Stars by Melissa Corry of HappyQuilting. This one has really nice contrast.
Then below are 4 more rail fence variations to add to the pile from last year’s accumulation. The pile is getting bigger & soon I’ll get them all out & see where I’m at with putting together quilts. Or I’ll just keeping making them all year & then see. Who knows?
Halfway through the month & I have half of my blue projects done, so I’d say that’s staying on track! I haven’t tackled a WIP for the month yet, but there’s still time. I have a goal to finish one each month in 2025.
Remember how I started working on Bonnie Hunter’s winter mystery, Old Town, in November? Well, it’s been sitting neglected, so I got it out & did clue #2, which is 244 little four patches. You know Bonnie’s quilts are always full of lots of piecing, so they take time. And I’m in no hurry on this one, except to finish it before this year’s mystery arrives!
Our quilt group progress on the WholeHearted quilt means there are 5 more full blocks to put together, then we start the sashing. So it’s really moving along. I wish I could get the photos to reflect the real colors, as the pinks are much more pink than the reddish shown here.
Your dark blue Scraptastic Star is beautiful! I’ve been thinking I need a dark blue star, too. That’s this week’s job! Every little bits counts with your Old Town quilt – Bonnie’s mysteries do seem to have a lot of pieces!
Such a good collection of blue blocks this week. Old Town will be worth all the extra time it takes.
Your Old Town step #2 is a good step to have done. That’s a lot of 4-patches. It’s good that you’re deadline is not until Novemeber. I’ve seen a lot of Old Town quilts and each one has turned out beautifully and I’m sure yours will be too.
