Nothing in and nothing out! I am working on my second shoes (Sally King - BFC) quilt. This one has the embroidery on a green background. I have 13 embroidered blocks and am using log cabin setting blocks (12). So far, I have most of the embroidered blocks done (3 rows of 1-inch fabric around the embroidery), with just the last row to sew onto the last 5 shoes. I'm again encountering the problems that come with sewing from stash. I had planned to make the setting blocks with the same 3 fabrics used around the embroidered blocks, and adding 2 more. I won't have enough of one of the fabrics (the outside one), so I need to decide what I want to do instead. I'll try to come up with something in the next couple of days. I would like to finish the quilt this week, if possible. It will use some of my stash greens, which will be good. I may decide to do the setting blocks "scrappy."
I think we'll go see "McFarland" on Wednesday--then Stations on Friday and another week will be gone. Time has been flying by. We're having a lot of melting, with very little new snow. We may even have a real spring this year!
You are doing good with your stash busting. I have found that scrappy is a good way to go when trying to stick to using the stash.
ReplyDeleteScrappy is my way of thinking these days too. I have plenty of stash to keep me busy for many years. Good numbers.
