Scrap Quilt Challenge and a Finished Top

Over at Fabric n Quilt, Shannon, is hosting Scrap Quilt Challenge 5. I thought I would jump at the chance to make a fun scrap quilt. How about you? Go check it out. 

I wanted to show off my finished quilt top. I have worked on this off and on for a long time. Now I can add it to the top box. One day I will work on making them all finished quilts. HA HA But for now, it is a finished top and that makes me happy. I have not even measured it but it is big enough for at least a twin bed if not bigger. 

I eve got a bonus baby quilt out of it. I need to trim and iron it. I love both of them. 

I wanted to show some other fun blocks. I finished four blocks for my quilt group. These are 7.5' unfinished paper foundation string blocks. They are so fun and quick.

These are the two Farm Girl Vintage blocks I got done. This is block #1 for week 11. It is named Grandma's Quilt Block
 12.5" Unfinished

 6.5" unfinished
Both together.

What I Have Been Working On

These days with going back to school I don't get much time to sew but I am working on that. A while back we had a Sew-In with PQA, my quilt group. I was able to work on this beauty for a while. I just love these colors. It is an older line of Bonnie and Camille's, Vintage Modern. I am doing  the On The Road To Spring Quilt Along. This is about a third of the quilt. I will have to pick apart a few pieces, because when I worked on it last time, I just started sewing things together. If I just leave it as it is, the quilt will be long and narrow. I need to make it a little wider. 

I also have been working on the blocks for Farm Girl Vintage Sew Along by Lori Holt of Bee In My Bonnet blog. I have not had a lot of time to work on it, but when I do I make both sizes. The 12" and 6" finished blocks. I have jumped to the first few blocks that I made to the newest blocks. That way I don't feel like I am getting left behind.

 Week 1, Apronstrings

Week 2, block #1, Autumn Star

Week 9, block #1, Feed and Seed

Week 10, block #1, Gingham
 I will be back soon!!
