It seemed like I would have endless amounts of time for quilting this week, but the majority of my time in the sewing room was spent making face masks. Since the theater where I work is closed down, management wanted to find some kind of work we could do at home. I was so glad when they arranged for us to make these masks--a great way to take advantage of our skills and do something really helpful.
This lovely rainbow collection, perfect for today's Rainbow Scrap Challenge post, all came from my fabric stash. I finished 24 of these and have about 20 more cut out.
This is the first dozen made with the fabric supplied from work. I found out that it is possible to cut pieces for 96 masks from a 10-yard bolt of fabric, and I have finished 84 of them.
I did find some time to work on one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge projects. This is my teal and turquoise Scrappy Bear Paw block, made from 2.5" squares for a block that finishes at 14".
I am linking up with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge on Saturday and with Oh Scrap! at Quilting is more fun than Housework on Sunday. I hope you are all staying well and getting lots of quilting done!

I love the low volume background on your bear paw! It goes so well with the teal paws. Of course, I'm really on a teal kick right now, so the whole block appeals. :)
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your rainbow of face masks and that gorgeous TEAL block for the RSC!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that Big Bear Paw--nice work
ReplyDeleteBeautiful masks..it makes you feel good to be doing something when we all feel so out of control with the virus isolating us like this...

ReplyDeleteYour rainbow masks are the loveliest I've seen yet, Julie, and I'm just captivated by your scrappy bear paw blocks.
