Still Working On Project 52

I'm still working on Project 52 projects, but in a different way.  Yesterday I had a chance to sew with some friends before my Sampler Class.  I found a patriotic kit in my stash so I pulled it out and started working on it.  In between I am working on my Project 52 project, Fish School.

I know I won't complete this little quilt before the 4th Of July, as I have cleaning and cooking to do before a visit with the Grands. But I have a great start on it and should be able to get it together fairly fast.  And I completed about 8 fish blocks.  The school is getting bigger!

Another Update For Project 52 Week 24

 Another update for Project 52 Week 24, I now have the center of the quilt put together!  Woohoo!

I still have two borders to add, but it is getting closer.

More Boxy Pouches

 More boxy pouches were in my future.  I made 14 more boxy pouches, so time taken away from Project 52 again.  LOL

These go together so fast and make such nice gifts.  Plus, they use up about 1/2 a yard of fabric per pouch, so a great way to use some stash..  Especially since I like to buy fat quarters.(A fat quarter for the outside and one for the inside.)

Week 29 of Project 52, Fish Blocks

Week 29 of Project 52, Fish Blocks

 Last year Bonnie Hunter's Leader and Ender Challenge for 2021 was to make fish blocks.  You can read about it here.  I had a bunch of bonus triangles from making blocks, so I decided to use those to make the blocks.  I sorted the HSTs and cut the solid block to go with them and kitted them up to use as leaders and enders.  And they got pushed aside when I made more bonus HSTs.  So this past weekend while sewing up other blocks I got them out and started making them.  Amazing how many you can get made in-between the other blocks. I still have a bunch of blocks kitted up so we'll see what I end up with.

Plus, July 1st Bonnie comes out with a new challenge.  I love using leaders and enders.

Just A Little Update

 Just a little update to Project 52, I'm still plugging away!  Slow and steady.  I'm almost done with making Jump Ring blocks from the Bee Joyful layer cake. 

I was lamenting how long these blocks were taking me to complete.  Yes, I am trying to make it for a King size bed, but the blocks have lots of stitch and flip corners.  Plus I'm adding an extra stitching line so that I have bonus HSTs.  But a friend pointed out that if I really wanted to make progress, I really need to work on only Project 52 items.  And they do have a point.  That being said, I'm working on a bunch of Boxy Pouches right now.  LOL   Oh well, there's no real deadline and I was making myself nuts trying to complete big projects in a weeks time.  

But I am turtling my way along, slow and steady.
