One Fat 8th Bundle ~ Two Quilts
Doubling the Challenge
My quilt craziest idea yet.
Just in time for the
Quilt Qwazy Queens Blog Hop
This is one of my favorite blog hops of the year,
I get to celebrate my quilt crazy ... :-)
Trinket SAL @ Alison Glass
Not only am I sewing the 40 Foundation 4.5" pieced Trinket blocks,
one per day, Monday through Friday ...
I am sewing one of her older FPP patterns, Ventana.
Did I mention that I have not foundation paper pieced
in a few years?
The good news is that this is actually a stash quilt.
I have only bought some additional background yardage
because I needed one yard more of what I had already.
Read More About This Crazy Idea Here
I really want to rise to this personal challenge.
Sew far; sew good.

Also to celebrate my quilt qwaziness
I decided to show,
in all their UFO glory ... my Top 3
of my crazier quilty ideas ...
#1
Patchwork of the Crosses EPP Blocks ~ Score 16 to 3
This should be called a WIP
as I am actually working on it ... :-)
#2
365 Blocks in 365 Days ~ "Good Karma" ...
What Was I thinking?
Score:
77 of 365 blocks done ... not good.
I am not currently working on this ... :(
Hmmmm ... I love those fabrics.
I have to do something about this.
#3
The Scraps, Ma'am, Nothing But The Scraps
This is an oversized queen quilt that I started as a mystery quilt
at Quilt Retreat in Texas in 2009,
where I went to meet a group of online quilty friends.
Going to this retreat was my first airport adventure and I went with
a friend from CT who drove to NH to fly out of the smaller
Manchester Airport because I did not feel ready to brave the
International airports in Boston and CT.
We flew home in a snow storm on one of the last planes to land
at that airport that night.
Crazy? Yes!
Quilt Crazy Fun!
Here is the story of the making of this quilt.
I used up leftover fabrics cut into small squares and HSTs and such
to set the panel pieces and create the custom borders.
It was my bed quilt for over two years before I moved it to my sewing room.
Without a doubt this quilt and it's making is my craziest
Quilt Quazy Queen adventure.
It warms my walls and warms my heart every time I see it.

The Scraps, Ma'am, Nothing But The Scraps
This is a 6.5" Postage Stamp Block
made with Thirty-Six 1.5" squares
... 'nuff said
Score;
42 blocks done.
Many pairs sewn as leaders and enders,
waiting to be sewn into blocks.
Good ... but a long way to go for a quilt.
Every Year I seam to start a Rainbow Scrap Challenge Quilt
an every year I start another UFO.
My scraps still overfloweth ... with love <3
I also want to show my craziest finished quilt.
It has covered an entire wall in my sewing room since I set it up in 2012.
Before that, it was on my bed for 2 years.

The panel sections in the custom border are signed by my friends at the retreat.
It took a year to finish this quilt for a
Challenge in March 2010

While I love all of these projects, that one hanging on the wall behind your sewing machine is stunning. I love love love it. Of course the project your putting together looks quite fun and the quilt sayings are always cool.. Thanks so much for participating again this year in QQQ 2019 Pat... Its always fun to visit you. :)
So many amazing projects, including that incredible one that's been hanging on your wall!
Ahhh, UFOs...we all have so many! I hoped to get to some of mine this year, but no luck yet.
All your projects are amazing. I have a particular soft spot for the Patchwork of the crosses. Thank you for sharing
Oh so many wonderful projects. So much fun to read what you are up to. Always a delightful read.
Thanks for sharing your projects. Love Alison Glass fabrics. grinnie1961 at gmail dot com
Thanks for sharing your projects. I, too, have several UFO's that I need to work on. I think my creative mind is always impressed by something new, and I just have to try it, and boom, just like that, I have another UFO!!
Always so much in your sewing basket! Lovely!
Your projects are all wonderful. Ohh, I really love the last quilt. This is wonderful to remember these ladies. Thanks for sharing today. quilting dash lady at comcast dot net
What a great group of projects and beautiful quilts!
OMG your challenge quilt is a work of artistry and always such a sense of accomplishment to finish a project.
what a great momento of your quilt retreat with friends.
You are one busy girl. Your Sisterhood quilt is stunning and with such special meaning. Love your other projects. It's always fun to see what is going on in your corner of the world!
Interesting seeing your projects.
Love your quilt on the wall. It is beautiful! Is there a pattern for it? ndfromsd
I had to give up on my postage stamp quilt. I could never remember to do my leaders and enders and my scrap pile just kept growing BIGGER. I finally threw all the scraps in a huge bag and am thrifting it back. I have had scads of new fabric come my way so my "squirrel" attention is now elsewhere.
Amazing projects. You are one busy lady. I have started the Trinkets quilt too. Alison Glass has the most gorgeous fabrics.
What fun diversity!
You are one busy lady! I'd never have to patience to make one postage stamp block let alone a whole quilt! LOL
Oh my ... I love what you finished. I just finished a quilt I cut out in 2013. Looked at the itty bitty pcs and ... wait! what? where do they go? where do I start. BUT it's done and just waiting for quilting. What a great feeling!!
I really like your quilt. My brother and I flew back to MI from CA a few years ago. We were rerouted through Dallas/Fort Worth as we couldn't land in Chicago due to the snow. Ours was the last flight to get in to our local airport. We did skid on the runway when landing, but everything was okay.
Wonderful projects and a very beautiful quilt! I don't think I know of any quilter who doesn't have a UFO lurking somewhere.
Oh I love your wall quilt. That looks like it took a lot of time and patience. It's beautiful.
How fun. I love using scraps.
Wow! Such incredible quilty goodness. I like be the crazy scrappy goodness but your Sisterhood of Quilters Quilt is breathtaking. What a wonderful way to remember a great retreat and the people there.
Boy you are busy - love your Sisterhood quilt!!!
You have a lot of projects. Very nice.
Cool projects! Enjoy your day! :-) :-) angielovesgary2 atgmail dotcom
Wow you love a good challenge I can see ....tyty for sharing. .. happyness04431@yahoo.com
I love EPP too - especially with summer coming (finally) it's a great thing to sit & stitch out on the deck!
basaran.family (at) rogers (dot) com
Yup, you've got some crazy quilting projects going on there, Pat, ya crazy kid! I've tried EPP a few times, I think the E stands for endless... Thanks for sharing your fabulous projects!
You've met the challenge well. Great projects!
What a fun quilt!! Love it!
Wonderful wall quilt. I almost joined in on trinket, but decided I couldn't commit to a block every day, not with everything else I have in the works.
That's a lot of quilt qwazy happening!! Love all your pretty projects, and I admire you doing a block a day! xx
What a busy lady you are! Have fun with your scraps, and thanks for sharing your projects.
I admire your perseverance with all the tiny blocks. I don't have the patience....or the skill. :) Thanks for sharing.
I am overwhelmed by all your projects, but they are lovely.
I have considered the 365 day challenge. And then I tried to keep up with a 30 day block challenge in December. Never mind... I'll leave that one alone! lol.

So many wonderful projects!
You do have quite a list of UFO’s. I thought my 3 hand piecing projects were insane, but I think you beat me!
Great quilt and wonderful story. So many memories for you, brought back and enjoyed again when you look at it. Thanks for sharing. mtmom57@gmail.com
Really great projects and story. Thanks for sharing!
