This is the final quilt that I will be able to make with these Bee Sew Blessed blocks....
"The year was 2015... I was into my 30's Repro Prints, and 2 1/2 inch strips.....
Many blocks were made...
The year is 2023... I was so proud of my UFO-less status... until I moved a pile.....
I might have jinxed it... as this was the convo I had with myself:
Me : " I don't have UFO's"
Quilt Room : " Hold my thread"
I will conquer tho.... and I loaded all three of my RSC15 challenge quilts onto one piece of backing... that's thinking right??? But... alas - you can NOT bind all three at the same time... no matter how much wizardry you try...
However!!! "
The year is NOW 2024.... and sigh!!!!
After loading what I thought was my LAST THREE QUILTS - I found these Random blocks!!! Made of the Scraps of the Scraps!!
I used all of my 30's scraps and made quilts in every color, but when I had strips left over - I just randomly made very colorful bocks.... which REALLY needed to be put into somthing - and so!!
It is now!! and it is Quilted, and sit down for this... IT IS BOUND!! Bound with Mint Green and Cream!)
Whoo hoo - one more finish marked on my list!!! Now!! My Quiltygirl email is STILL down - so I am using my gmail instead - if any of you have sent me an email since Friday of LAST WEEK... they promise it is on the server - I just can't get to it yet... so I apologize... its been rough ;(
Did you have fun? Get some quilting in?

I remember your 1930 scrap challenge. Congrats on using up the last of those scraps. My UFO dates from 2013. Yours is only 2 years older, so I feel less alone in finally finishing an oldie but goodie.
ReplyDeleteI still have your post saved from last year when you shared this pretty quilt flimsy! I love all those prints together. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty quilt and a good use of scraps. Be careful saying this is the last of the 30's repro fabrics. Fabrics have a way of lurking and hiding then popping out when you least expect it! Happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your family enjoy a blessed Easter.
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful pattern for scraps. I made a quilt like that years ago and may just have to make another. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHold my thread!! I feel you!!! The outdoorsy pictures are great and I too, think I am close to knowing my ufo pile but wait .. what's that? Really what is that?
ReplyDeleteNo pattern , just vaguely familiar pieces!! Yours looks great, and congrats on
four of those quilts, even the scraps from the scraps!
Stay safe and sew on!
What a happy quilt, Alycia! I love the block - thanks for linking to the tutorial. Hooray for getting those UFOs finished up!
ReplyDeleteLOL! I don't have many WIPS/UFOs......until I open that box or that drawer. This would be a great scrap buster block. Oh, you temptress.
ReplyDeleteNo UFOs???!!! Wow! Amazing. And such a cute finish too.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I hope the email resolves soon and that hasn't been too stressful for you this week. Hooray for another UFO finish - it looks great!!
ReplyDeleteNice finish! I almost spit my coffee when the Quiltroom said "Hold My Thread." Thanks for the laugh!
ReplyDeleteI love this scrappy version even more than the single color versions of the past!! So sorry that your QuiltyGirl email is acting up. Congrats on your cheerful UFO finish, Alycia!
ReplyDeleteYou can't go wrong with cheerful 30s repros and a good scrappy pattern! And you even bound it! Great job. Good luck with the email, technology is great when it works, and a pain otherwise.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great scrappy quilt! Congratulations your finish!
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely quilt and a beautiful change from the valor quilts I usually see here.
ReplyDeleteI do like the white blocks forming an Irish chain on this scrappy quilt!
