Oh Scrap! : More Pinwheels

 This week, I dealt with a huge pile of scraps that has been bugging me for quite some time.  We are cutting up scraps for the upcoming sew day, for items for our craft fair, for RWB string blocks and for my pinwheel blocks.

I ended up with 5 more framed pinwheel blocks.  Not a lot to show for all the cutting I did but the pile of scraps is a lot smaller.  I still have a lot more scraps to cut but it doesn't look quite so daunting!

Hoping for more progress next week!

Oh Scrap! : Pinwheels

Sorry I didn't share any finished quilts this week.  But I ran out of treated quilt labels. The table I use to add mod podge to the labels is completely covered with fabric, scraps, and who knows what else.  Hopefully by the end of the weekend, I will get it cleared off.

Then there will be a whole lot of finishes to share!

Lately, I have been seeing so many quilts with pinwheels.  I finally decided to give in and get out some scraps to make some.  I have a bunch of slate blue fabric I would like to use up.  I decided to make my pinwheels 8.5" square.

I didn't really have a plan when I started this project but I think I am going to frame each pinwheel with either navy or gray.  This will keep the quilt very masculine.  At first, I thought I would use 2.5" strips for the frame but at the last minute, I decided on 1.5" strips.  I really want the focus on the pinwheels.

Hopefully this week I will pull more some more fabric and make a few more blocks.  I am thinking my quilt will need just 30 blocks.  So less than 20 blocks to go!

What scrappy things have you been working on this week!

Pretty Pinwheels

 Another week - Another finish!

I love when you find yourself in a finishing mode.  Some months you feel like you are making no progress and then all of a sudden, blocks are going together into quilt tops and you have a stack of quilts to sew the binding on.

This week I finished up my RSC pinwheel quilt. These pinwheels were all made using the trimmed triangles from two of my RSC Well Suited quilts I made this year. 

The sashing and cornerstones all came out of the scrap bin too.  I used a narrow sashing in the blocks and then used a wider sashing when I put the blocks into a quilt top.  I really like the effect!

I used one of the clearance fabrics I picked up a Connecting Threads on the back and applied a scrappy binding made from leftover binding strips.

The quilting is a playful free motion pattern I call Splish Splash.  

Swirl in - swirl out - and then a couple long teardrops.

The quilt measures about 50 x 60.  It is just going into the donation pile for now.  I like to have a stack of scrappy quilts ready for giving.  They always find a forever home where they are very much needed and appreciated.

I have to say I am enjoying seeing all the RSC quilts by others coming together.

I need to start thinking about my next blocks for 2022!

Oh Scrap! : Still Making Progress

 I didn't find myself with a whole lot of time to sew this week but I did get a few more blocks completed for one of my RSC projects.

I made two of these color blocks in brown.  My brown bin is overflowing so I decided to add a few to my quilt top.  I am using 2" strips and trimming them up to 12" square.

I also realized my gray bin is stuffed too so I made a single block.

I think that leaves me with needing to make three more blocks.  Hopefully I will get them finished this week and the quilt top sewn.

Most of my sewing time this week was spent finishing the pinwheel quilt top.  It is now waiting on my longarm frame to be loaded up and quilted.  

I should be able to finish it up this week and share it on Friday!

It feels good to be making so much progress on all of these scrappy projects!

Oh Scrap! : Still Making Progress

 This last week I continued to work on finishing blocks for a few of my scrappy projects.

Look what I found!  I knew I had made four of these Chaser blocks last week.  I found this missing one in a wrong stack of blocks.

I finished five more of my Well Suited blocks.  I think I now have just two more blocks to complete and I can start sewing the quilt top together.  I have to admit, I am getting pretty bored of this project so I am super happy to winding it up soon.

I also used some of my bonus triangle pinwheels to make a couple more pinwheel blocks.

I think I will aim for a 5 x 6 block layout on this quilt.  So I have 11 more blocks to complete.  I have a small stack of pinwheels next to my sewing machine to turn into blocks so I should have a final count by the end of next week. 

The next stack of blocks I need to sew are these color blocks.  I have two more orange blocks to sew this month and then I need to put them up on the design wall to see what other colors I need.  I am hoping to complete this quilt top some time in October.

So it has been another busy week of working on scrappy blocks.  

I look forward to lots of finishes soon!

Oh Scrap! : Scrappy Block Progress

I have been spending quite a bit of time lately in my sewing room.

I finished up nine more of my Well Suited blocks.  I have been working on this RSC quilt all year and have decided I just want to get it done.

I think I want a 7 x 9 layout so that means I need 22 more blocks.  I think I have 13 blocks cut and waiting to sew.  I might have to raid some stash pieces to find some solid colors (for the geese) that I haven't used yet.  So far all of these have been in my scrap bins.

When I make the geese for the Well Suited blocks, I turn the cut away triangles into these cute little pinwheel blocks.  All of the blue pinwheels, I made when I made this blue Well Suited quilt.

So far I have 16 blocks completed.  This will be another quilt I should be able to finish up hopefully this month.  My plan is to sash these blocks with a wider white strip than the strip in the block.  I think I will add some scrappy cornerstones too.

I also made some more basket blocks but they got mixed into a stack before I got a photo.  Hopefully I will just have a finished quilt soon!

What are you working on!

If you are quick you can still take advantage of the Labor Day Sale at Connecting Threads.

Oh Scrap! : Time for Purple

 The RSC color for June is purple - my favorite color!

So the very first blocks I made in purple are my Well Suited blocks.  These blocks are made using one of my Scrap Mixology patterns.

Here is how all the finished blocks look together right now.  This quilt is going to look very different than a lot of the other quilts I made using the same pattern.  You can see some here and here.

I still need to finish my pinwheel blocks.  I am using the bonus triangles from the geese component to make these little cuties.  Hopefully I will have them done to share with you next Sunday.

I also finished up nine blocks for my Positivity Plus quilt.  This is a QAL hosted by Sew Preeti Quilts.  The blocks go together really quickly and I love how it is looking.  You can read more about this QAL on Preeti's blog.

If you haven't heard yet, Bernie over at Needle &Foot is closing her Etsy store so now is a great time to pick up some great fabric at a fabulous price.  If you are participating in the Positivity QAL maybe you need some background fabrics.  And let's not forget to start looking for a backing now.

There is such a great selection of fabrics!
