I added an inner border to squared away. We changed locations, so, I wasn't sure I would get the border finished. but I did.

squared away flimsy
squared away top is ready for borders. I did bring my ideas for border fabrics with me on vacation, I might have them done yet this month. I have made a few dresden plates blades as leader/ enders. It has been cold here, and, yesterday, it rained all day. Still an adventure.

squared away progress
We are busy exploring our new snow-less location for vacation. I have had occasion to sew a bit. Florence the featherweight has been a trooper. I threw out the blocks for squared away to get an idea and play with colors. It was easy to piece the first two rows in an on point layout. If I am not too tuckered out in the evenings, I will try to sew a row together. I don't miss the dreary back home.

squared away challenge
My one monthly goal for January 2025 is to assemble my squared away quilt. I made these blocks in 2018 as part of the rainbow scrap challenge. I thought I would start 2025 fresh with a rainbow scrap quilt. I have the blocks made and I want an on point layout. I will travel this month, and think this would make a great motel project with Florence, my featherweight. Everything I need for the quilt fits in a zip lock bag. I will still use my 5 quilt goal plan for the year. It makes sense to me and appears to work for me. Although, I might be a little less concerned with the time I take on each project. I have randomly chosen 29 ufos that I can pick and choose. Last year I finished 41. I never dreamed I could do that. So, we will see. Life can be challenging at my age.

| pink is the color for January |
I am still trying to finish an older ufo from the rainbow scrap challenge called tiny Tuesday. I have the green row done. Most of the blocks were designed by the academic quilter but I have been adding orphan blocks to make it a bit bigger.

lucky star
This week I worked on my lucky star blocks in purple for the rainbow scrap challenge this month. I still have a week to go before the end of the month. I may still get to work on my girlie girl.
I have had fabrics pulled for a quilt for a while now. I was not in the mood for piecing, so, I started cutting. I am using recycled shirts, and making a kaliedescope quilt found in this older book. I just needed to cut 4 1/2 inch strips. I have other colors that I still need to cut. I may be cutting enough for 100 quilts, but, it was therapuetic. The book still has templates, and, no rotary cutting instructions. I can remember my first quilts were made that way. Thank goodness for the invention of rotary cutting.

9 patches in green
I made 35 nine patches using 2 inch strips for a quilt called diffusion. I am only using 4 -5 colors to make the nine patches. This was the first time the color of the month was one of the colors for the rainbow scrap challenge.
I do have 1, and only 1, strip weave block for the month finished.
