Midway Through The 100 Day Project

Yes, I'm a little late reporting in at the half-way point of The 100 Day Project, but considering I've missed a handful of days, it's about half-way for me. So here's a quick round-up of projects I've used scraps in!

  • Adjunct - a mini (18" x 22") quilt made from the scraps The BOM quilt



  • Whisper - a 30" x 40" quilt made from my neutral scraps (backing pulled from stash)



  • Brown Crush - a 41" square quilt made primarily from scraps (Kona Crush background and several fabrics for the backing from stash)


  • scrappy hourglass blocks - a work in progress, at this point entirely pieced from the scrap basket; currently have 32 blocks pieced


So that feels like quite a bit! I've kind of been jumping around, project-wise, but that's working for me. The scrap basket is still very full, but let's see what else I can come up with in the next 50 days!

Linking up with Patchwork & Quilts linky party!

  2. I love seeing you "jumping around!" It's a great way to create. Can't believe I'm saying this about a BROWN (my "ugh" color) quilt - "Brown Crush" - but that one sure caught my eyes. I'm a pushover for circles though, so that's probably why I like it - :-) - and that combo of colors. My favorites though are your oven mitts. So classic-looking, and practical. The best part is that bit of hand stitching you added. So good! Great hour-glass scrappiness too. I think you're having w-a-y too much fun in your retirement!

    1. Hi Carol. They are inset. The Clammy ruler makes it easy to cut both the circles and the 'frames' to set them into. I just fold both to find the four equadistant points and pin them there. I use the 12" ruler so they are big enough to sew in easily. If you have more questions about that, feel free to email me directly at aquilterstable@gmail.com. Hope this helps!
