Even with all the cleaning and decluttering going on around here I've found time to sew.
The Mickey Mouse flimsy is done. This is a Quick Strippie from Mary Quilts. It's a free pattern and perfect for showcasing a fun novelty print in those wide strips. And it uses just 3 yards of fabric - one yard of each. I even pieced a backing for this one, so the top and back are hanging together on a hanger waiting for it's turn to be quilted.
And - look! The first star point for the Lone Star quilt is done. Making 10 different strip sets is the time consuming part of this, and matching all those seams ON THE BIAS is the tricky part of this project. But it will be worth it.
Two more placemats got binding. These have a bowling fabric.
The one thing I've been avoiding so far this week - cutting the pieces for the Saturday Sampler row for April. But I will get to it.
And it's time to make this week's block for the Riley Blake challenge. Don't want to fall behind on anything. LOL

Great start on the Lone Star: it is going to be a gorgeous quilt. Your SIL will love it!
You have done well at moving along with both the stitching and the decluttering. That Lone Star quilt is going to be gorgeous. You picked a very bold color palette.
I admire your sewing ...getting all those points to match!! Wow!
