Charms from the 90’s Finish 3

Back in April, I cut and sewed these tumbler blocks from charm square swaps with other quilters (a thing of the 90’s).

The plan is to use up all of those 90’s squares. I think they have finally collected the appropriate amount of dust.

They stayed on the design wall until after vacation.

Long after, but not too long.

I sewed these up into another sweet little table topper.

The quilting is super simple.

Just machine stitching along the seams.

And now I have another little project hanging out in the gift box until it is needed.

That is so much better than a stack of uncut squares collecting dust.

A lot of dust.

Have fun and carry on!

One of These Does Not Belong

I am pretty sure that you can tell which of the piecing does not belong.

I had a whole lotta cutting left to do for the Bonnie Hunter Silk Path project.

And as long as I was cutting anyway, I might as well make more of those 1990’s charms into half-square triangles. There are only 20 blocks so they will be a small project.

All of that cutting for Silk Path gave me plenty more piecing to do.

One of these days, I will have a flimsy.

A big one.

In the meantime, this project is moving forward.

Have fun and carry on!

Silk Path

I decided to move the Silk Path project forward, as long as I am in the mood to move things along, even if it is only a small movement.

I searched my own blog, and found that Bonnie Hunter’s Silk Path pattern was my choice for Karen Brown’s Declutter Challenge January 2025.

So, in fine tradition, I started it a year ago, and I am moving it forward a year later.

I left off with these two bags of strip piecing; very happy to be using up scrap stash.

Now I have 61 scrappy blocks.

True to Bonnie Hunter style, there is a lot more piecing to do.

I like what I see.

Have fun and carry on!
