Spring Happenings

 I'm well along on my Instagram sew-a-long with Taryn (Repro Quilt Lover) called "Scrappy Meets Thrift Challenge". Lots of little square in a square blocks made from tiny scrids of fabrics grabbed from one of my many scrap drawers and baskets. The scraps never seem to end! 

 
 

I'm making mine in the potholder method (surprise 😉) and having lots of fun choosing the cheater fabrics (of which I have many) for the backs of each block. I used this marvelous Mary Koval Lancaster blue print for the sashing and binding. The thread count is super high so it makes for a nice crisp edge. 


 

I've also finished my first block in Barbara Brackman's "Liberty Birds" sew-a-long on her Civil War Quilts blog. With only one block per month, I feel like I might even be able to keep up with this one! 
 
Bluebirds are beginning to nest here in Maine. 

Happy Spring!
