I have been busy working on my Sawtooth Flurry blocks.  Monday had me at four blocks finished.  As you can see there's more.  I asked the question of Quiltville's Open Studio on FB and have learned that a layout has not been designed for this block yet.  With my orphans in the same color scheme, there are four different arrangements, something will surface.  I tried the four patch units and as sashing and they are certainly not a go.  Way too busy!

So I'll keep on making the rest of the 12" finished blocks for now.  My next thought is to split or maybe even third the 3 1/2" vertical red string strips as sashing.  They will appear like a solid red.  Might be to harsh...we'll see.

Have a terrific week =^.^=

Sunday Stash Report, July 7, 2019

Klover is done now except for the label.  That will come when I have enough which is four ready to print.  Klover shows real well.  I had thought the binding would look better at an angle, but frankly I like that it is straight with the rest of the look of the project.

Sawtooth Flutter is a 2019 UFO.  One of Bonnie Hunter's designs.  I have the question out on the Quiltville's Open Studio to learn if anyone knows of a layout designed using the block pattern.  So far the answer is no :(!

Used this week:  0 yards

Used YTD:  80 yards

Purchased this week:  0 yards

Purchased YTD:  39.5 yards

Net used in 2019:  40.5 yards

Nothing changes the numbers this week.  I've been binding and working in a block here and there.  Hope your week is wonderful =^.^=

Time now to get a new project started!  Just love this time, seeing a new beginning to what has such promise of a great finish =^.^=.  This project doesn't have to be hurriedly assembled like the last two.  If you hadn't guessed this is a design from Bonnie Hunter.  It is called Sawtooth Flutter or block #1468 from Quiltmaker's 100 Blocks, Volume 15, Summer 2017.

I plan to use all these orphan units in the project.  I don't know of any layout that Bonnie has shared to date.  I will be creating my own unless I can find something she's already created.  The orphans come from several of her project and parts of it even from a swap that I coordinated years ago.  There are 12 blocks already kitted up in the baggies shown at the back of the photo.  Just a few more neutral squares and rectangles along with the center red squares yet to cut; everything to sew these busy blocks together is at the ready.

Now that I have all 2018 UFOs done...it is time to tackle 2019.  Hope you have a happy Patriotic Week.
