I'll start this run down with the backing for Kefi (link below).
Earlier this year, I kept a basket of leftover strata after making Young Man's quilt named Dragon Fyre.
Now I have found the perfect way to use them - I sewed the segments end to end and created a long insert strip for the back seam in Kefi's backing.
I posted Kefi's flimsy finish HERE along with a bit of the quilt's back story. (July 2022)
(Note - for any of the quilts shown here, you can click on their label at the bottom of the post to see all posts for the projects)
Incandescent is now two horizontal seams shy of becoming a finished quilt top.
Stay tuned . . .
All the leftover trimmings and such from Esperance, Haru, and several other projects have been sewn together into a piece that measures 14" wide x 115" long.
I plan to use part of it to make an Easter/Spring runner for the buffet in our dining room. Once I know how much is left, I can decide how I want to use the remaining section.
(no rush on this one)
I have pin basted and chosen quilting thread for Thankful, the new November wall quilt for our dining room.
This will be the next project under Max's needle, to be followed by Vellichor and Coddiwomple.
My goal is to have all three finished by month end.
Time will tell.
The box of rectangles leftover from the 12 Macnas-inspired quilts has been staring at me from the closet shelf.
This batch will become Rastro (although the segments will have 6 rectangles and not 8 as shown above).
I chose to leave out the dark browns and aboriginals (of which there weren't very many of either one).
Here are Rastro's 78 6-block segments sorted out for eventual piecing - not until next year.
Once Rastro was sorted and put away, I still had a pretty large pile of rectangles along with 20 pairs from Grandiose.
I decided it was time to make 20 seemingly-everywhere-online potato chip blocks using the Grandiose pairs as the consistent (but scrappy) centers. Since taking this photo, I've also sorted the light rectangles onto these plates.
I found the KF yardage (top of photo) that was set aside for a someday backing that will work perfectly for this 48" x 60" ish quilt that I've named MOTLEY (adjective - a mixture of often incongruous elements).
Only a few rectangles left now - not sure what I'll use them for but I'll figure that out next year.
