I shared the link for the tiny TV blocks the other day and I made a couple. The hardest part was finding the fabric to put on the screen. I need to search through scraps for fabric that is the right size. The blocks finish at 3 1/2”. They are so stinking cute!

I have also been working on a Jack’s Chain quilt. The 9-Patch blocks are 3”. I have been doing them as leader/enders for months. If I want the quilt to be this wide I am going to need to do more, even with all the ones I still have not used! Every seam to put it together is a Y-seam. I did this much a while ago and needed a break! lol It is about 77” wide right now.

I have been working on a J.Michelle Watts pattern Fiesta de Talavera pattern. I have all the blocks fused to the 20” finished blocks. I am using fusible raw edge applique and machine blanket stitching them with a small blanket stitch. I have four blanket stitched so far. I used batik scraps. There is an appliqué border also, so I definitely have a way to go!

I finished my BoHo Heart quilt the other day. Pattern by Jen Kingwell and Andrea Bair. This was so fun to make I used all scraps for the blocks. The black and white strips were a combo of scraps, a few quarter yard buys plus 1 1/2” strips from my friends! I just did wavy lines for quilting, I wanted the blocks to be the focus.

Three pieces I’ve worked on the last few weeks. Dizzy Daisies is my own pattern. It is another out of the closet piece. Circles were sewn and the daisy petals were fused. So added the leaves and machine blanket stitched them.

The hearts are a Laundry Basket pattern made from leftover pieces one of her kits.

The last one is also out of the closet. One of my Mystery Quilts. It was all cut and ready to sew together.

Finished these over the last week. All of them were things out of the closet. The hearts were started as a paper piecing class years ago. I found 16 blocks from a class from Bargello Quilts with a Twist for the orange wall hanging. I added some sashing and borders. The Simple Curve table runner I found and added the side pieces to square it up instead of leaving it a curved edge. I didn’t want to make a bias binding! LOL. That was given as a wedding gift.
