Red shoo-fly blocks done!

Twenty six red shoo-fly blocks are done, need a hundred and eleven of them.
Next is the basket of tiny four patch blocks, will get to them over the weekend. It is very cold here, so lap quilting may be warmer to do than piecing blocks by machine.
The quilting in the ditch on Vintage moments continue, the basting stitches is coming out. Each evening the cat is waiting for it to arrive on the footstool, once it is on there she follows pretty quick and makes herself comfortable on it, do not say it needs to be moves.
The leftover pink fabrics, need to make binding with it for the Mystery quilt top, which was finished this past week. Quilting will happen later on this year.
The finished top, over the quilt frame, 86 by 99 inches. It is a big quilt. It will be gifted, once it is complete.
The squares that was cut before was too big, so they needed to be cut smaller. We needed to add some more colours and some green. They are all cut and will be sorted into a layout, before the secret project for spring can begin. Linking to RSC22 at Superscrappy.blogspot.com

  6. Since a Shop fly pie is basically a Butte tart , without raisins, you obviously need a butter tart to celebrate.
