It's April already! I know that means spring elsewhere round the world but here we're headed into Autumn. Not that the weather has remembered. It's still been quite warm and sunny! No, not complaining. At least my washing dries on the line! (When I remember to hang it out....)
So time to reflect back on the month that was March and what I
finished made! Still a few UFO's happening but that's okay - they are still progressing! Ooh I feel quite productive this time round. Got quite a bit done and even made some 'big' finishes. By that I mean I finished lap sized quilts. Which okay is not mammoth in terms of quilty finishes, but it's better than just the placemats and blocks that were my other finishes!
Ready for some mosaic magic? Yep, me too.
This time I remembered to add some links so if you're curious about a project you can pop back and see the relevant blog post :)

I also found a fun way to use up those teeny tiny scraps of favourite fabrics that you can't bear to part with. It's okay, you can admit it, you're among friends here. There are some fabrics that even the tiniest scrap can't go in the bin, just in case you can use it! Well look! I found a way to do that!
Cute little scrappy cards! Didn't even need anything extra other than a bit of cardboard! Oh and I used a glue stick to keep the pieces in place. It made me feel very thrifty to use these up and I think these little cards make a nice touch to add with my quilty gifts. Plus, hello FMQ practice! I later went back and drew in a few finishing touches (lady bug and a butterfly if you're wondering!) but forgot to take a photo before I posted these off.
So that was my March. No wonder I'm tired. What a lot of sewing. But what a lot of fun! Now onto April's projects and there are plenty of those already lined up!

You got a lot done last month! Happy April 1st!!! I've written my post just need to publish it =D
ReplyDeleteGosh, what a productive month! And you could never guess from the pics what a naughty quilt that Diamonds in Squares was - looks all demure and pretty now.
ReplyDeleteLots of big finishes in there, bet you are glad to have beaten that Diamond in Squares into submission!
ReplyDeleteLove your little cards too, at last a use for all the tiny triangles of fabric I have been hanging on to just in case!
Hi! I came over from Lily's. You have been super-productive! I love all your creations. One day I hope to be able to quilt like that. :)
ReplyDeletewow that was a productive month for you -- I can't but like the green quilt most ...
ReplyDeleteThat’s quite some production and all so beautiful! Thanks for your visit to my blog!

ReplyDeleteI love the owl quilt and the hands block and I'm looking forward to seeing what you get up to next!
Stopping by via Lily's Quilts. I'm impressed by your incredibly productive month - I especially love that Owl quilt and the handprints. And, yes, I am always looking for ways to use the teeniest scraps of fabrics I love.
ReplyDeleteHiya! I've come from the small blog meet. I love your diamond's in squares quilt - but can I tell you a secret....I like the back best! I think it could be a quilt top in it's own right. Love that you've called it a her, naughty girl not fixing her wonky lines!
ReplyDeleteOh Kristy...your mosiac is awesome. Such a productive month for you...and I have loved every post. So many pretty quilts with great patterns.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are so productive even with little ones under foot. You are simply amazing!
