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.

The challenge this month from Art Journal Journey is People. And I made these two friends having a nice time together, with inspiration from photoes on Pinterest. This is a page for my slow growing art journal.
The micromini challenge is ending, and I managed to make nine miniquilts during the month. Here are the last six. And here you can see the first three.
Thank you Lesley for your challenges every month of May.

Some weeks ago I started a challenge from @reproquiltlover to make small economy blocks. Every week I've made some new blocks, always using fabric from my scrap bin. This week I met some quilting friends, and even if we talked a lot and had a great time, I managed to make some new blocks. There is also a picture of the 36 blocks I've made earlier for this project.

May is the month of miniquilts. And Lesley is the queen of minis and is hosting the challenge also this year. I can not resist the temptation of making some minis. These are for the first ten days of the month, two doll house cushions and a mini selvage quilt. Hope to make more during May. You can join in whenever you like this month.

And butterflies have wings, so I'm taking part in the challenge on Art Journal Journey this month. This is a page for my art journal. Soon I have enough pages to make a book.

This week Taryn on @reproquiltlover tempted me with these mini blocks. And I had to start immediately. It's a fun sew-along called "scrappymeetsthriftchallenge", and you could certainly jump in if you like. My first blocks were done yesterday. Now I'm preparing for many more of them the next weeks to come. Hopefully I can use many of my precut scraps. And to get the blocks perfect, I foundation piece them.

This little wall hanging was finished a couple of weeks ago, just in time for an exhibition in Trondheim. It is hand sewn and hand quilted with embroidery stitches.
