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.

string along
Here is the intro post
Here is where I saw it
I really enjoy string piecing on my treadle. It is in my living room, and I can watch tv with or without my husband. It doesn't make too much noise to hear the tv.
And I have no shortage of strings.
I have this string spider web that I work on from time to time. I am using a 1 1/2 inch moda jelly roll, but it gets monotonous very quickly. I am more of a scrappy girl.
And this spider web that has been around for awhile. I haven't finished assembling it.
I have even used strings as sashings.
I'm not sure which I will work on during the string along. I am sure I will find more string ufos if I poke around.

Carolina Crossroads finish
This was the first Quiltville mystery in 2007. I didn't join in until a couple years later.
The colors are brighter than they seem on my monitor. The blues are batiks.
I used a sheet on the back and a squooshed swirl to quilt it.
This was one of my April goals for One monthly goal. If I finish the mystery quilts in order, I have 2008 Orange Crush and 2008 old tobacco road finished. The next one to do is Double Delight from 2009.
I have 7 finished and the rest have been started and are in various stages of completion. I have a page at the top of the page to show what I am working to do.
