March Wrap up -- for the link ups



So this month I had a grand total of 4 finishes
How Mack Unwinds
Sunday in the Park
PGB scrappy 

I also made 20 blocks for Kevin the Quilter's Valor block drive, meaning that I used a total of 15 yards of fabrics from the stash this month -- this brings my yearly total to 55+ yards. 

On the fabric non buying front I am not doing great and have bought small bits throughout the month mostly for projects but a few items were because I wanted them. I did use my gift certificate earlier this month on some splurge fabric but I already have a plan and many friends to go with it so I am hoping to move this into the WIP pile soon.

Now here's some other things I've been working on for the variety of other link ups that I am doing.

Gypsy Wife QAL
I have made amazing strides in making blocks and have a few more extra blocks to go and then assembly. I will probably remake my Perishing block using the paper piecing method because I'm not super happy with it. Here are the blocs sorted by section
and here are the blocks for this month.

Library Challenge
scout quilt -- needs quilting and binding 

Sound Garden -- needs quilting and binding


New Stuff
Clam shell Mini -- This one is for a very special person.
Triangle QAL -- a triangle quilt has been on the list for a while now so I decided why not?
Day at the Beach -- scrap Bin quilt

So what are the goals for April?
- finish scout
- finish sound garden
- finish Clam Shell mini
- make progress on triangles quilt
- baste and complete Day at the beach
- assemble the Gypsy Wife (or at least part of it)
- make some string blocks or purge the strings
- start working on rock N romance Swoon
- purge more fabric from my stash

  9. Super stuff as always! Love the yellow and black triangle quilt coming up. The shell mini is looking SO good! I'm loving it! How is sewing them? For me, the problem on that one would be figuring how to quilt. Maybe Kelly would have an insight (I'd ask her unless I was just going to hand quilt the curves... oh yea, nevermind! :P) As usual, you get a golden Quilter's OA award! ;)

  10. The bindings you have chosen for each of the four quilts enhance each one, and that's lovely fabric for your triangle quilt.

  17. What great finishes! Did you ever figure out a paper piecing block for the Pershing block? It was a beast of a block to do!
