I don’t know how much quilting I’ll get done this week, but I absolutely need to get the batik version of this block made this week. These are this quarter’s Gulf States Quilt Association Lotto blocks and the meeting is Saturday. I’m not a big Kaffe fan, but I think I found the way to use the fabric — fussy cut. My fabric now looks like Swiss cheese. I bought 3 different black & white prints the other day, then only used the zebra, pulling the other 2 from my stash. It looks like fingerprints to me.
Next on the list is to get the borders on the dragon shop sample. I really wanted it done to take to the guild meeting tonight, but got distracted.
The 3rd item is the Blooming Nine-Patch. This is this quarters sew along with GSQA. I hope to have all the blocks done, but I don’t know if I’ll get them sewn together. We’ll have to see what this week brings. These are the last 2 fabrics for the quilt.
As for my 2025 master list of UFO projects, nothing has been marked off since the middle of February. I’ve been busy — and now I’ve added 2 new projects! I may count the shop sample as my panel quilt, but that really defeats the purpose of listing a panel quilt. I also want to make another Crazy Eights quilt with the FQ I bought at the AQS show. “It’s not hard and won’t take too long” I think is how I ended up with so many UFOs. So for now this will just be a PIG.
