Today's post is about random quilting projects that aren't large enough to merit their own post.
Year ago I discovered Thangles and pieced a LOT of 2" finished HST's. I made a crib quilt with part of them then the rest have resided in a box for years.
Since the Stonefield blocks have been removed, the HST blocks were arranged and rearranged on the display wall several times.
This is the final arrangement, the squares will probably hang on the wall for months until I start sewing the squares together. There are 20 blocks horizontally and vertically which is 400 squares. I'll piece them in 4 sections, 100 squares to a section.
There are still a LOT of blocks in the box so there will probably be another crib quilt someday.
There was a bag of blue strips leftover from the pineapple quilt I pieced in 2024. What do you do with leftover 1.5" blue strips? You start piecing log cabin blocks, 144 of them.
The individual blocks are all pieced, bagged and stored away until this winter, then they will be sewn together. There are still a lot of strips left, I think they'll be sewn into 9-patches. You can never have too many 3" finished blue & white 9 patches on hand.
I pieced potato chip blocks for the latest block drive for Many Hands, Many Hearts. All the details are available on that blog post.
I pieced 16 of the yellow/purple blocks . . .
And 31 orange/blue blocks.
And pillowcases have been pieced. One set was a surprise gift for a friend, which have been gifted but I forgot to take a picture. The red and black pillowcase was a graduation gift for a great-nephew, of course in school colors. I used a pillowcase kit from Calico Point for this pillowcase. They will give you a free pattern if you need one or, like me, you can't locate the pattern you already have!

How do you get the HSTs to stick to the design wall for a long period? I need to get my potato chip blocks in the mail....
The design wall is flannel, the HST's just stick on there but you have to be careful to not have any air movement on them. I mailed my potato chip blocks right away, if I would have put them off, I would have forgotten about them. Have a good week!
