Frozen

Elizabeth asked me if I had any Frozen fabric left from the quilt I made for Taylor. She looks after a friend’s daughter from time to time and Oceana loves Frozen. I dug into my stash and found a few fabrics; next I had to find a pattern that would be simple to make and that would suit the pieces of fabric I found.

As I had larger quantities of some of the fabrics I thought I might manage a 3-Yard quilt. Although I didn’t have enough fabric to make the quilt as large as the pattern, it turned out to be a nice size for a little girl.

I’m not sure why I had the Olaf fabric but there was more than enough to cover the back.

Happy Birthday Dylan

There are only a few 6″ blocks left on my Block-a-Day calendar. The pattern was called Shamrocks but it used hearts rather than shamrocks so I switched out the appliqué. It’s been a long time since I made anything to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

Community Quilt

March, 2026

While I was sorting out my 2.5″ bin of scraps I decided it was time to use some of them up. I also had the plain squares in my stash so it didn’t cost me anything (except what I’d already spent). I worked on this on Thursdays when I sewed with Gail.

I did a cross on each of the 16-Patches and my signature star on the plain blocks. I often donate the top to the Guild so someone else can sandwich and quilt it but since it was a simple one I did it myself.

This is one of the smaller projects in my Little Handfuls of Scraps pattern book. I finished the top at the Guild’s January retreat but waited until I had a batch of tops sandwiched before I started quilting. And the quilting was quick and easy – just a straight line down the middle of the flying geese.
