Scrappy Weekend Sewing

 

I have been cutting and sewing this scrappy project.

I am using my own method for making these Hourglass Units,

sometimes also called Quarter Square Triangles.

These are the first of many as you can see by stacks of cut pieces in the top photo.

This method requires little trimming to achieve these sets of hourglass blocks.

These are for the

As this is a mystery 

and it is not my pattern,

and we have been asked not to post sizes and numbers of units by Bonnie Hunter,

I will not be sharing more of my how-to information at this time.

I am thinking to post a tutorial for a different project using this method 

in the coming weeks.

May you and yours have a safe and healthy weekend.

Happy Scrappy Sewing!

Technically,  I may be seen as behind because there as the new part out today 

and I am still on the last part.

If this sounds confusing, it may be because I am feeling it.

I may be behind in the mystery sewing 

but there is something where I may be ahead, for a change.

It is with the 

"THE PANTONE COLOR OF THE YEAR 2021

PANTONE 17-5104 Ultimate Gray + PANTONE 13-0647 Illuminating

A marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting."

Pantone Color of the Year 2021 

I love this color combo!

I am not even sure what the color was for 2020.

Must not have caught my eye or I was distracted by life. 

I just looked it up.  It was a nice peaceful-looking, Classic Blue.

Hmmm ... 'nuff said.

Let's move on to 2021.

I love yellow and gray quilts.

I have lots of these colors in my stash! 

Moving on ... my many batches of yellow and gray HSTs are done! 

 I am now sewing the next part.

1st of many hourglass sets done.

My weekend of sewing is ahead.

I am looking and sewing forward.

It is all a matter of perspective.

The fabric quandary is over.

I am going scrappy!

I love the scrappy goodness of Bonnie Hunter's quilts

They are a feast for the eyes.

After yesterday's winter storm we are fortunate to have power.

Many people in our state do not.

Our lights went off last evening, but quickly came back on

It is bitterly cold here.

Mr Scrapatch is outside scrapping ice and snow off the steps, walks and driveway.

I feel blessed in my warm and snag little home.

May you have a happy quilty weekend!
