Just the Basics - June

Our pieces are starting to come together for the Just the Basic Quilt A Long.  I can't for next month to see what goes where.  You can find the directions here.

Rainbow Bargello

67 x 88

Because I had enough solids leftover from this quilt, I decided to make another rainbow bargello quilt.  But this time, I added 4 more colors because I thought the last one was a big short for a twin.

Just as pretty as before!  I even had the same leftovers for the back and the strip.  I did have to add the blue sashing to make it just a bit longer.  More solids used up from the stash!

More Minecraft Quilts

Quick update!  I have been busy making Minecraft quilts these last couple weeks.  There are three new blocks in these two quilts.   The sword block used pellon interfacing to hold all those tiny squares.  You can read the directions here.  And even with that, it's still hard to get the block the right size.  I still have one more quilt to finish.  It's using lots of solids from the stash!  

May Stash Report

It's been a great month for using fabric!  I made 3 bed sized quilts this month - WHEW! Two of these quilts came from what used to be the Hard To Use Fabrics, which is now the TUB of fabric since I added all my more traditional fabrics to get them out of my stash of modern fabrics. Since I now have 2 different stashes, I think the HTU goal will be disappearing. This month I hope to get a couple baby quilts sewn together, but my goal is more focused on making some custom quilt orders.
