RSC24 - Week #51

EDIT: I'm headed to watch my granddaughter wrestle, so as soon as I post this I'll be in the car headed east.  It will be a "no sew" day.  And that's OK.

There is a really big closet in my sewing room, not a walk-in but it's about 8' long.  That makes for lots and lots of room for fabric storage.  And hanging on the rod above are all of the block sets and flimsies that are part of on-going projects.

I went through the block sets this week.  Each set is clipped to a skirt hanger along with any instructions for making the block.  Some sets are getting close to having enough for a quilt top, and other sets have only a few blocks.  This isn't ALL of the blocks hanging in there, but it does represent some of the ones I want to work on in 2025. 

Photo (L to R, by row): 
* Night Vision - nearing enough for a small quilt

* Brighten - almost enough for a baby quilt

* Buckeye Beauty - just getting a good start on these

* Entwined Star - only about 5 or 6 of these so far

* Make Your Point - tiny blocks, but growing

* String Beads - lots of these

* Facets - there are only 4 of these

* Stashbuster - about 10

* Morning Glory - paper pieced Bonnie Hunter (only 4)

So, these are just SOME of the blocks you might see revisited in 2025.  In some cases, those blocks may become something small like a table runner or wall hanging.  In other cases I plan to make a quilt, but whether large or small remains to be seen. 

 These Diamond Tile blocks (another Bonnie Hunter pattern) have been hanging in the closet for a long time.  The plan had been using them to make a baby or child size quilt.  Looking back in my records, 2020 was the last time I made any.  It's definitely time to use these in SOMETHING.

Ditto with these - called Plaid.  I think these came from one of the Lori Holt books.  There is a pretty good sized stack of these blocks, almost all made with novelty prints for the bigger squares.  

And speaking of novelty prints - there are lots of them in the stash that certainly could provide enough blocks to make a baby quilt. Our guild did baby quilts a couple of years ago using solids plus novelty prints in Churn Dash blocks.  Of course that means I collected solids and novelties.  And I love Churn Dash blocks.  So many possibilities!!!!

Plus - I'm already "on the hunt" for some amazing NEW scrappy blocks to add to the mix for the new year.  I have a couple of things in mind, such as more string blocks.  I tested out a couple of string triangles using my tri-recs rulers.  These are 5" square unfinished, and really could be a mix of "crumbs" and strings.  Any new ways to reduce the small scraps in my world would help, right?
