So Much to Show!

 I have been busy in my sewing room! I have a bit to show so please excuse the longer post. I'll try to be brief!

First up, I continue to work on my Fancy Four Patch blocks. Here are blocks 5-8 (I'm a bit behind but it is not a race)

Next, I worked on and finished the Fibonacci quilt. 

I was between projects...waiting on a fabric order and needing to sandwich and quilt other projects. This wall hanging sized quilt was a free pattern by Carolina Oneto when you sign up for her newsletter. Carolina is a fabulous quilter and I love her style. Fibonacci sequence is a math term that occurs in nature and all over. I do love math so it was a quick and fun quilt to make!

I used fabrics from my stash (including the backing), machine pieced and machine quilted in concentric circles. It finished at 32" square. 

I have been participating in the Magnificent Mystery QAL by @meadowmistdesigns and it is coming to an end soon. The final instructions were given in February and March is for catch up and putting the quilt together. Here is my completed top!

This was another fun Mystery QAL and I love how this turned out. It is next on my docket for sandwiching and quilting!

Another QAL I participated with @MeadowMistDesigns was the Stash Busting QAL. Cheryl choose 4 of her patterns to choose from. I choose Board and Batten. I liked this pattern because of its simplicity. I had received a curated bundle of 5" squares that I won from @Quilttaffy many years ago and were just sitting on my shelf. I just didn't have a pattern calling its name before this! I added some coordinating fabrics from my stash to get enough to make my quilt.

I love how it turned out! Thanks Cheryl!

Thanks for hanging in with me on this long post!

Making Progress!

On my last post, I mentioned that I was about 1/2 finished with quilting my 100 Dresses quilt! It is now finished!  This was such a fun personal challenge quilt from the summer of 2025! 

This quilt was inspired by the book The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes.  The book is about bullying of children based on their race and nationality. Estes based the book on an incident from her own childhood to atone for staying silent when a peer was bullied. We need to stand up to bullying!

Some of you played along and encouraged me in this challenge by weekly choosing your favorite dress and I thank you!

All the blocks were paper pieced from over 100 different scraps from my stash (100 dresses plus tights, hair and skin tones). I drew the pattern myself so it gives the appearance of holding hands.

This quilt finished at 60" x 80"

The backing is an aqua gingham fabric! Isn't my helper adorable!

I also joined the new challenge by Taryn @reproquiltlover on IG. The pattern is called Fancy Four Patch.

Here are my first 4 blocks. They are 4.5" finished. The tiny HST are only 3/4"! Again, I am using fabric from my stash. Only needed to add one solid color to balance out the colors. 

My RSC block for February is finished too! The color is light green! Here is my flower block!

And on a final note, I started and finished the quilting on my 2nd RSC quilt from 2025! The binding is on so the last step is to hand stitch!
