Its been busy here. But I FINALLY have a finish!
Stoplight was pieced in summer of 2018? while living in the camper. Judy B in MN supplied the backing, it will be donated to the boy's group home. Here's a pic of the snuggly backing--
I'll estimate 13 yds of fabric. I have slowly been hand binding it since last summer. You can find the free patten here. I used a box of 2.5" strips and 2.5" squares for this pattern.
Some quilters precut without a plan. I only precut my scraps into a few sizes, depending on the scrap--2.5" strips if its a long piece, 5" squares, 3.5"x6.5" bricks, and 2.5" squares. These are sizes I use. Remember the scrap box I was going to CHOP CHOP in March?
I finished last week--
219 5" charms, 318 bricks, and a pile of 2.5" squares. Two larger scraps went back into stash. Enough from that box for two or three good sized quilts. Quilts are planned using these precut sizes.
And I have made a few masks. Very few. Enough for family. I SUCK at making masks! I needed a mask for myself so I pulled out a green batik, I love the color green. Put it on and took a selfie--
OMG--I made a NINJA TURTLE MASK! I wore it yesterday at the grocery store and heard a few chuckles. That's ok, I laughed too!
Stay safe!
