I've made some progress on the applique of the Dresdens for Saturday Sampler. These 2 quarter Dresdens were finished first, and sewn together with the 9-patch blocks. This unit is ready to add to one of the big sections.
The color here is very washed out, but this one is also ready to attach to a different big section of the quilt. Next up are the larger Dresdens, and the big snowflakes. I'm using a blanket stitch on the Dresdens, but will do a simple top stitch on the snowflakes. The thread is a grey that seems to be blending in with all of the colors.
Since the beginning of January I've been keeping track of the fabric I buy versus the fabric I'm using. At the halfway point in the year I'm pleased to be able to show that the yardage OUT are slightly better than the yardage IN. It's not a big number, but it is good to have used more than I've purchased. I bought a lot of wide backs the past few months, but I've also finished quite a few projects. Let's hope I can keep going and make that OUT number even bigger in the last half of the year.
