I'm linking up this morning with Angela’ ScrapHappy Saturday. Last week I had two crumb blocks. This week as I sewed and cut and sewed and trimmed I ended up with 4 more. The final four for sure. I had to raid the Halloween basket to get the last one up to size.
Crumb blocks and string blocks are the only color specific blocks I am making for this year's challenge. I am trying to finish some UFO's that have lingered too long in my sewing room. I have assigned each UFO a color. When that color is announced I work on finishing that UFO. So far I have been sort of successful.
May's color was orange and my spreadsheet said get a backing and batting for En Provence and Long May She Wave and get them to the quilter. That puts me somewhat at the mercy of the quilter. I could not get these two to that stage. Long May She Wave will be delivered to Aggie on June 1st. And En Provence has a date with Marva, but when I sent her the photo, I notice a huge OOPS!
Do you see it? That top has been hanging in the closet for a few years. I pressed and trimmed thread earlier this year and even pressed it again last week, in preparation to go to the quilter! I didn't see it then either. So now I have to do a bid of surgery! And you can be sure I will peruse it once again to see if I can see anything else. Thank goodness it is on an edge. Not too difficult to fix. "Good Gravy". So that one won't be done either, for May! I will get it though, I've committed to the quilter.
On to the next color specific UFO. I see Angela announced Dark and Bright Blue. But I did those for January.
Love your crumb blocks, Judy! I haven't had a chance to make any crumb blocks this month, but they're calling to me. I think you're doing great moving those UFOs along - May might be almost over, but you're so close!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing up your ORANGE blocks for the RSC! Yep... At least that little UFO oops is right near the edge, Judy. If not, I think I'd leave it and call it my humility block!
ReplyDeleteFeels good to use up those orange scraps, doesn't it. Pretty blocks. Yes, I saw the 'mistake' before I read your post. Since it's on an edge, it should be an easy and fast fix. Pretty quilt, I've made it too, but smaller than the original pattern.
ReplyDeleteYour crumb blocks are so cute! I'm not sure I've ever made any, I'll have to check my posts to see. You are tempting me. Good luck with getting your quilts quilted. Hope you are having a great weekend!
