Making 4 patches for Leftover's quilt |
Yesterday was a dull, dreary, rainy day outside but inside there was a lot going on! I finished the quilting on my sister's quilt -
Spring Romance and she will come to my place in a week or two to learn about how to trim the quilt top and attach the binding. There really was not that much left to do - I only needed one bobbin to do the job! Next up on the agenda was the inevitable tidying up the sewing room. I thought I was doing just great by trimming all my scraps as I went but somehow there was still quite a bit to deal with. Once I got all of the scrap bits that I could find all under control I was ready to work on something else.
Today is the last day for the colour black for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I have not worked on the Challenge for a couple months because the colours just did not work out for me. I am wondering if October will be orange?
After wrangling my sister's quilt through my machine I just didn't feel like working with large pieces so I put Fun & Games and the Garden Fence quilt aside and worked on sewing little 4 patches together. I had started cutting the pieces for
this quilt awhile ago and I have since made all of the 2sies that I would need to make the 4 patches (and then some). I got quite a few done before I had to call it a night - 124 patches in sets of 4.

Many more 4 patches still to go! |
My husband decided we needed to have a garage sale today so I wasn't able to spend any time sewing but I am certain I will be back at it tomorrow - I still have a lot of 4 patches to make!
