And my quilt top is done! 80.5 x 82” in the end. I don’t have backing, so it’s going on the TBQ pile while I start a new quilt tomorrow that I’m also very excited for

This one took so much longer than I thought it would, but who’d have predicted us needing a new HVAC right in the middle of the project? Glad both are finished!

I am — slowly and carefully — removing the solid blocks from the giant fish outline and replacing them with small pieced fish blocks. It’s a lot of work to take on when the top was so close to being finished, but i think it’ll be worth it in the end

7 down, 13 to go!

Both sections are done-ish now. I don’t hate this quilt but I’m not in love with it either. There’s some fixes needed, and I’m not sure if the borders I have planned will work. I’m going to forge ahead tho at least through the weekend — I’ve had worse turn into better

A little disappointed that the school of fish doesn’t read more as one giant fish; pretty sure it’s because the background is so scrappy. My thought is when I’m quilting to maybe quilt in additional fish shapes? Also, those lighter top/bottom triangles around the blue fish need to go - I’ll change them to darker fabrics before it’s done

I do not know how this happened but I inset a partial setting square that was laying around here as scrap, just to see if I needed to go smaller or bigger, and the letters ended up fitting EXACTLY — this was all luck and no skill and I’m happy but stunned too

Today’s quilt progress is letters! Really happy with the elongated shape

Next up is trying to fit these straight set letters into the on-point fish blocks using every quilter’s favorite — MATH

Didn’t get as much done today as hoped but the big fish are on the design wall. I’m debating whether they need bigger mouths but I really like the funny underbite

The undercounted fish have been accounted for and all the 9-patch blocks have been sewn! Tomorrow I hope to finish the two big fish sections and maybe even start on the letters

These scrappy pillow sides are easy to piece but I needed so many (16!) I’m still worn out

So many fishies! Putting them in blocks will have to wait until next week, I have a couple of other projects to catch up on this weekend

First block for my Organize fish quilt — only 53 more 🐠 to make!

My Modern Handcraft Snowflake is finished! Right before I break for the holiday 😅 (literally, the oven just dinged)

With the larger squares and the extra columns/rows, the top ended up 77” x 98” so even if it shrinks a bit during quilting, it should be large enough to cover our sliding glass door

I went slightly larger with the squares on this Snowflake and now that I’m towards the end, I realize it is *almost* big enough to be curtains for our sliding glass door — just need 12” more length. 2 more rose rows top and 2 spruce rows bottom is my first (slightly boring) thought but I’d welcome additional suggestions

Mint fabrics were still being prewashed, so I skipped to the bottom section of the Snowflake . I can’t believe how quickly everything is coming together — I knew this would be a fun little in-between project, but it’s pretty easy and fast too

4-color scrappy Snowflake continues… this shade of pink has been a challenge. I had to replace a # of squares once it was on the design wall because they were too pink; then I added a bunch that were too peach. After digging deep in my stash (some of this is 20yo JoAnn; not sure how it’ll hold up) this is the best I could come up with

While piecing the rose red section of my Modern Handcraft Snowflake, I realized I needed some darker shades for contrast — luckily these two fabrics were in the bottom of my stash

Starting sewing on a new today! It’s Modern Handcraft’s Snowflake in a scrappy 4-color version

I tend to make a lot of tops and fall behind in the quilting, so I like to use social media threads to refer back to when I eventually get a quilt on the longarm

Thought I’d try hashtagging each of my projects individually, so if you’re interested in seeing how this quilt progresses, it’ll be on all related posts
