I pieced a little baseball quilt and will be binding it next week:
I pulled, cut,
sewed, and pieced a top and made the binding for a quilt to donate to a VFW Post:
I had emptied my stash of 2 1/2" squares and strips when I made my last 2 scrap quilts so I spent some time replenishing that with fabrics from my stash. I know it takes more time to pull fabrics and cut a 2 1/2 strip, but I like to keep my fabrics in bigger pieces because I never know how I'll want to use it. It's what works for the way I like to sew:
I cut matched sets from those strips with the Easy Angle Ruler and sewed a whole mess of little hsts:
I set them to the side to use as leader-enders during the year. I will match them with more low volume prints:
I think I bought most of these low volume prints a few years ago when I worked on one of Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilts and they have been sitting in their bin ever since. I pulled them out when I began making the HST Chaos quilt and fell in love with them all over again. Suddenly, I want to find more and make everything with them:
I also pulled and cut fabrics for the baby quilt I'm making
pieced it (I don't have a picture of the full top on the computer) and will take it to Jackie on Monday:
And I posted about my finished Color Box Quilt:
I hope I can carry that progress into the coming months!

January was a very productive month for you!
Glad you've found time here and there to get some sewing in Karin. I, too, keep my fabric in large pieces, until I want to cut them up. lol But once my scrap bin gets full, I dump it out on the table and cut the pieces into usable shapes/sizes. Have a great day.
Excellent progress in January!
Good for you! Getting some sewing done. I seem to make lots of blocks that don’t get into Quilts!
I like to keep my scraps in bigger pieces too and cut them up as needed. I love, love, love your stash of low volume. That's a great variety. Gorgeous. Enjoy! ;^)
Look at you go!!!
So much goodness! Great progress!
