February Progress

While my last post showed a few finishes, it really didn't showcase all I worked on this month. I said at one point over the long weekend (with a snow day added), that I had quilters ADD. I was working on 6-8 projects all at one time!
I finished this green and gold bag for the SDHEA conference silent auction after I arrived at the conference! I set up my sewing and had it done in less than an hour, start to finish. I donated 4 bags in green/gold and blue/yellow.

While I was away a the conference, I made all of these blue and yellow Blue Ridge Beauty blocks. I would like it to be bigger and have plenty of HST's but needed more 4 patches. Since it's the scraps from my Scrappy Y/B trip around the world that I'm using for the 4 patches, I needed to make more of those blocks!

I'm teaching a class on making Crown Royal quilts or really any focus fabric and designing a quilt around the fabric, so I made my brother pillows to match his quilt.

I made a few more yellow and blue scrappy trip blocks.

Then I made a few more... and a few more... and a few more. I didn't take pictures of all of them, but I'm sure I finished about 20 this month. I do about 3 each round of chain piecing.

I made Mathew a blanket for his teddy bear. 


I made this doll blanket for an auction at Mikaela's school.

I made this backing for a black and white baby quilt.

I'm doing the Quilters Planner Sew Along, so I made this block for January.

This is the February block for the Quilters Planner Sew Along

I was able to make a few more 4 patches

And a few more yellow and blue scrappy trip blocks.

I had a quilting day at my dad's house and quilted this baby quilt I made from the leftover blocks of my quilt.

My 5-yard quilt in black/white/ pink/green was also quilted at dads. I need to bind both of these.

I also made this doll blanket with minkee for the auction, but Mikaela kept it for herself.


It doesn't look like I posted my in/out for January, but I was neck and neck, 30.75 in and 33.75 out... Well, I didn't do quite so well this month. I was at the quilt shops a bit too often and my "big" finishes didn't get bound due to a fall that hurt my back on Saturday, so I'll have to keep them for next month. I will be ahead of my stash soonish.

February In - 29.25 Yards
February Out - 14 Yards
Year to Date In - 60 Yards
Year to Date Out - 47.75 Yards
For a total of 12.25 yards, the stash is ahead!
