I did an inventory in my sewing room this week, and
discovered I have seventeen different sets of quilt blocks that are ready for
sashing and/or borders. Seventeen. That doesn’t count the tops that are ready to be
quilted or the quilts that are waiting to be bound. It’s just blocks. Some are
in plastic bins and some are in cardboard boxes. Some are in zipper bags and
some in paper grocery sacks. Seventeen is just too many, so I set to work on
clearing the backlog. I made the first of these red, cream and blue blocks in
November 2022. I didn’t follow a pattern. I was just using up leftover scraps
from other projects. If I stitch these blocks together without sashing,
add a 2” blue stop border and a 4” red outer border, it would make an excellent
donation to Quilts of Valor. One down, sixteen to go.
