Pink & Purple
The quilt that is this Month’s UFO project is my pink and purple quilt. I honestly don’t remember where the pattern is from. This was made with a lot of scraps of purples from a online swap many years ago. This top is at last 10 years old. My goal for this month is to get it sandwiched, quilted, and bound. Related Images:

I had a mini jelly roll (Robert Kauffman calls them Rollie Pollies) from a Sew Sampler box a few months ago. I also had bought a yard of fabric for binding when I got it as I do with most of the fabric I like and plan to keep so I at least…

Strawberry Jam
The June 2019 Fat Quarter Shop’s Sew Sampler had a cute charm pack of fabric from Corey Yoder and a two bonus patterns from the book Sunday Best Quilts by Corey Yoder and Sherri L. McConnell. Instead of a pillow, I decided to make a small wall hanging. For the setting triangles and border For one of the pillows, I saw that there was going to be leftover strips, so I did some math and figured I could get 4 of the same sized strips from one charm square. I also figured that I could make 56 blocks with the strips. This setting only needed 50. I like pieced backs…
