This was an RSC2025 project. I sewed the blocks each month last year & finished sewing it together this week. So happy to have another WIP finished, especially one that’s only from last year! This is ScrapStash Plus & you can get the free pattern by subscribing to the Quilty Love newsletter at the bottom of this page. It’s great for scraps. Mine was made with 2 jelly rolls from my stash.
I made 6 blocks in the third colorway for the charity block drive for Many Hands and Many Hearts. You can find the instructions here. All of these blocks used up a good pile of my 2.5″x4.5″ bricks & they are ready to send off.
I’ve been working on these Ocean Waves blocks as L&E’s for over a year now. Sometimes I set it aside temporarily, like when I made the charity blocks above as L&E’s. But I decided it was time to sew the small blocks into the bigger blocks & see where the pile ended up. And it’s about 2/3 of a lap quilt, so yay!
For the last 3 months of evening hand sewing, I’ve resurrected the old hexie project from sometime in the 2010’s. I sewed together the three sections I had made & created an amoeba. So I began on one side & tried to make a straight edge to see what I need to fill in. I cut a bunch more pieces of fabric to make more flowers & have been basting those so that more can be added. This is an improv Grandmother’s Flower Garden & it certainly looks crazy in its current shape!
Since I have been sewing hexies instead of binding quilts, I have a bunch hanging in the closet that need hand sewing. So this week I pulled one out & took a hexie break to finish this Birds quilt. It was a quilt group project, also from the 2010’s. Glad it made to the final finish line.
