Progress on UFOs

    This past week I worked on several different orphan or UFO projects . I found two 14” blocks from a class I taught years ago. I decided to make them into simple placemats by adding side strips. They will go to Meals on Wheels clients.

     In the same bag as those blocks there was a collection of HSTs and some bricks in similar fabrics except the HSTs would finish at 4”. There were enough matching units to make a couple of Monkey Wrench blocks; however, the biggest pile did not have enough matching units. So I decided to make all scrappy blocks. The result is 12 scrappy monkey wrench blocks in red, blue and cream.

I have a plan to make alternate blocks which will make the quilt large enough for a QOV.

     Next I pulled a bag of bright kid fabric crumbs. There were a couple of 6 1/2” blocks and 2 orphan simple NY Beauty blocks. I made a plan and spent Friday piecing crumb blocks. I now have 40 crumb blocks 6 1/2” by 12 1/2”. The bag of scraps is much smaller now.
