Every week I sew as many blocks I can for this mystery from Bonnie Hunter. This was a fun one, and I've never done flying geese easier. Bonnie's measurement is perfect. Here you can see the two first parts together, as long as I've come. Waiting for tomorrow.
Every year in November there's a mystery quilt from Bonnie Hunter, running until the end of January. Clue 1 was released a week ago, and of course I had to try. Every week I make some of the blocks, and then I decide how big I can make the quilt when all the clues are released. As we've got plenty of lupines here where I live, I'm quite familiar with the colours. And as always I make it scrappy.
Here are my first blocks, and the pile I made the first week. Now on to the next clue from yesterday. Visit Bonnie's blog to find all about the mystery. It's so fun, and you learn so much.
I've been making these blocks every week for months now. It's a challenge from @repreoquiltlover, and you can still jump in. This week I counted 250 small blocks, and as that was my goal, I now have to find out how to join them. Actually it's supposed to be a neutral in-between block, but I love them together like on the picture. The problem is that the finished quilt will be too small. Have to think about it for a while.
The theme this month from Art Journal Journey, and a challenge for me. I made a new page for my journal, but I have two pages left before I can show you my little scrappy book.
Years ago, before La Passion 1 and 2, I started this little hexagon quilt. The hexies are 1/4", so really small as you may see. I decided to keep on sewing as long as that green fabric came to an end. And that will be soon now. The red and blue fabrics are all scraps. I've used this project as a work to bring with me on travels. It just needed a small pouch. Here you can see a single flower, the size of the hexies, the almost finished top and the little pouch I bring with me wherever I go.

The theme from Art Journal Journey this month is to make our own background for a journal page. I'm just now making art journals for children, or quiet books if you like. And I'm making backgrounds with old fabrics and scraps. So it's also a recycling project. Here are some of my quilted backgrounds.

Almost every week the last months I've made some small blocks for this project. It's a challenge from @reprequiltlover, the blocks are 2 1/2", and they will finish 2" in a quilt. But first i need many more of them. By now I have about 180, and I will need at least 250.

I've planned to finish this quilt for years. But now I'm the nearest I've been. The piecing is done, and all the blocks are together. Now it will need some white and blue borders. Hopefully I can do it and deliver it for longarm quilting before this year comes to an end.
I've seen these rolls on Instagram and blogs from different quilters these last months. So I had to try it myself, and now I'm totally hooked. This i my first one, and it's a great way to use all those tiniest scraps. If you visit my Instagram you can watch a video of it all.

Scrappy meets thrift is a challenge from @reproquiltlover. I've planned to make 250 blocks for this challenge. Today I could count the first hundred. The blocks are 2 1/2", and will finish as 2" in a quilt. They're really addictive to sew. I just managed to put all hundred in a pile and take a photo before it overturned.
