I got the borders on the quilt. I started cutting fabric for a Cleopatra's fan using the Accuquilt die. Got that done. Woked on June's demo for quilt guild, well really trying to find an idea.

I went to a guild indoor yardsale today. I almost filled a good size reusable shopping bag. I came home with lots of goodies and only spent $35.00.😍I then sewed on more triangles this afternoon. These are what the triangles look like.
I am making triangles to make this quilt.

update on the baby quilt:

I didn’t get any quilting in on Saturday, but today I managed to piece together the backing, baste the quilt and FMQ just under half of the quilt. The bobbin ran out just before dinner, so I may get a little more done tonight or maybe tomorrow. Hoping to get it finished up by Wednesday so I can wash & dry it before the weekend!

I'm going to try to locate my motivation....it's been missing lately, or playing hide n seek with me. Earlier in the week I did make some 4 patches, but not enough to really do anything with. Maybe I can add them into a quilt at a later date. This is what happens when you have too much fabric and patterns. Decisions can be overwhelming.

I finished the QAYG blocks and am washing the backing today as its finally sunny enough to hang out to dry. While I wait for the back to dry I'll work on making the binding. I doubt that I get much else done today.

LGJARN52, our mojos must be hanging out together somewhere! When that happens, I make utility items like potholders and zipper pouches. That is what I am working on after straightening up my workroom!

LGJARN52 AAshley333. This too shall pass. My mojo disappeared last fall for several months. I had read on here about refolding and organizing your fabric stash as a way to Inspire us. I did that and it worked for me. I am happily back at my sewing machine stitching away. Mojo is a funny thing, we never know when or why it goes away, then one day, it just shows back up, and the rhythmic hum of the sewing machine is heard again coming from our creative spaces.

I have my unfinished "Arctic Feathers" quilt that is almost done with they piecing. I've had to put it on hold. Too many bookkeeping chores right now. I leave all of the quilting stuff out for motivation, but I just can't get to it.

Yesterday I dug out my large tote of jelly roll scrap strips and my small bins of 2 1/2" squares and started to make four patches and then used the strips for an improvised potato chip blocks. I'm one of those matchy matchy sewers that have to have the colors look pleasing to me. Just grabbing anything and sewing together isn't something that I can do, so this is taking a while. I have pulled photo's of different scrappy blocks and have put them on my wall, knowing if a piece won't work for one block and can use it in a totally different block somewhere along the line. In otherwords I'm sewing scrap blocks just to be sewing....LOL

Onebyone, I made a Cleopatra's Fan quilt and cut the pieces using a friends Accuquilt and the online directions from Accuquilt. Wow that was so much easier than using templates and an instruction book. The Accuquilt pieces give you little points to match which make the process so much easier!

I started today with changing my picture for my screen saver. Now wasn't that a big whoop? I used to change furniture seasonally now, I just change the screen saver from season to season. It is now spring in the forest! Growing older changes some habits just a bit.

Back to real business for the day,
1. finish four patch square-in-a-square blocks. Only about 30 to go.
2. Make 1 or 2 exchange blocks
3. Recalculate the number of blocks for a graduation quilt. (I am adding narrow sashing so it will change the total number of blocks needed.) Then cut a pile of pieces to finish the new number of blocks.
