Today was quilt group meeting at church. We sewed all morning, stopped to eat the lunch we had brought and then sewed several hours more. I worked mainly on crumb blocks, Crumbs are small scraps of fabric. I also used some strips and strings left over from other projects. I squared blocks up to 6 ½”. With those previously pieced, we now have 30 ready for another quilt. On our first crumb quilt we added sashing, cornerstones and a border so we probably will use the same layout.
Since I returned home I quilted 2 hours on the round robin neighborhood quilt. I sandwiched it yesterday and started quilting in the ditch to stabilize sections. Today I have been stitching free-motion grass, bricks and other patterns to give a little texture. I am try to keep the quilting light but do like the added texture.
That is enough sewing / quilting for today !
