Working a little on a lot......

After my curbside pickup and in-store shopping spree at my local quilt shop (by appointment only) , I have been trying to complete some old and some new projects.

First off, I picked up a very old knitting project  with the intent of getting it finished. I was bound and determined.  I don't believe it was 20 years old like my recent quilt finish, but I would guess maybe 10 years old. Why I stopped where I did, I don't remember, but all I had to do were the sleeves and bodice.

It is off the needles and just needs to be seamed which I promised myself I will do very soon.

Then I pulled out some very old lotto blocks that I won at a quilt retreat.  I am going to say in the early 2000s.  I had the center sewn for some time, but the plan was to add a border where I was going to add some applique.  Well, done is better than just lying around waiting for me.

I added a small yellow border.  (the yellow I had just picked up)

I had plenty of the blue floral print to add as a border and for binding.  

Here it is folded in half on the design wall.  There is enough yellow for the backing.   It is now on the to-be-quilted pile.

Then I had this cute block that was inspired by a pattern that Sharon teased us with.

I had made it up and liked it; but then when we went on our shopping spree last summer, I found this bright floral print and the first thing I thought of was this block and that if I made just a couple more of the floral blocks, I could make a cute quilt.

Well,  I think I waited just a bit too long to get to the whole thing and ended up with a fairly large quilt when I think I was only planning on a baby quilt.

I think in all, I made a total of five blocks and will have the floral fabric on either side of the blocks.  It, too, is now sitting on the to-be-quilted pile.  The backing I bought for it is the sky blue grunge dots.

Then as charity chairman, I got around to pulling some of the charity fabric for another pattern that Sharon had bestowed upon us.  There is enough of the little red/white/blue fabric for the backing on this one.  

Another one on the to-be-quilted pile.  (sigh)

Then I got carried away with looking around at what else there was to pull a quilt together for within the charity fabrics.

There was a bunch of this smiley face fabric, so I pulled 9 from charity and then one more from my stash to make a Missouri Star Company Double Slice quilt.  This one did not take long at all.  I had it done in an afternoon.

There was enough of the yellow smiley faces to back this quilt.  

Again, on the to-be-quilted pile.  

Good grief.....I need to get busy on the quilting part of this sewing spree; but I pulled one more  ugly (to me) fabric from the charity stash.

Today I went and picked up some solid Kona to  sash 20 of these blocks.  It should make a nice boy quilt when it is done.    I'll save this quilt for the next post; but I have definitely been on a binge for getting things done around here.  

Actually, there's more, but I want to save them until they are fully done.  It tires me out just talking about all of them AND thinking that they all need to be quilted yet.  

Anyways, I am going to try and keep up this momentum.
