Updates on Sewing Up My Fabric!

Since I originally posted my description of this blog, I have somewhat erred from my intention. I have actually bought much more fabric than I had but ................. in my defense, I got the solids at 50% off and the quilt shop fabric at 75% off, so that doesn't count, right? LOL

April UFO commitment
This is a 2016 QAL by Lisa Bongean called "Christmas Magic"
25 six inch blocks - what was I thinking? They have so many tiny pieces.  This month I will conquer this UFO which has been haunting me since 2016!

Tulips
This was my March UFO and  I finished it! Yaay!
I rescued these tulips from a local thrift store.  They were very primitive and no two blocks were the same size or fabrics.  I really felt I needed to give them life.  It looks kinda retro with my scrap 2-1/2" squares.  I'm pretty happy with it and it is finished.

Baby quilt from leftover scraps.  Just needed quilting.

Back shows the quilting better

I had to stop and make about 40 masks for my healthcare worker family members

Projects list is moving along.  I think I am staying focused.

I love your tulip quilt. The scrappy alternate blocks are perfect for it. Good luck with the April UFO goal. I'm sure you can tame this UFO!

Congrats on all the progress! Love your rescued tulip blocks, a very bright and fun finish. Hope you've been making good progress this month.
