Social Sewing Project Progress

I haven't been able to make it to social sewing much lately, but I did go on Wednesday. I have a project that I only work on at social sewing, so it's moving along very slowly. That's okay, it's a donation quilt with no deadline. 

It's a very simple design of Mary's Triangle blocks alternated with plain blocks and set on point. It took months to make all the blocks. While away from social sewing I laid out all the blocks on my design wall and clipped them in rows to sew together. 

On Wednesday I got 7 of the rows sewn. I think this is half of the quilt, or close to it. It will be a baby or wheelchair size when finished, about 44 inches square. 


All of the fabrics are scraps from my stash. Did it diminish the overcrowded scrap drawers any??? Low volumes yes, colors no. 

And now that I see the photo, I see there's one block turned sideways. I'll have to fix that. 


Linking up with Finished or Not Friday at Alycia Quilts 6/5. Definitely not finished, but progress! 
And Design Wall Monday at Small Quilts and Doll Quilts 6/8.

  1. Good progress for sure! I hope the chance of the block rotation doesn't take too long to fix - will you wait to do that at the next social sew?

  2. Ah, I see the rogue block. I haven’t made any Mary’s triangles in a long time. What size are yours?

  4. Very fun quilt. It does seem that the harder we try to empty the scrap drawers, the faster they refill!

  5. Such a fun quilt! Great way of using never ending scraps. I think we all have that 'problem'!

  6. I miss going to my small sewing group. They meet twice a month but since I babysit at their meeting times it's rare I get to go at all.
