Stash Report and Stitching Time 1/15/2023

There has been plenty of quilting going on here this week, both free-motion quilting and some piecing. The main focus continues to be finishing my entry for the guild's Ruby Challenge. In order to test out some of the quilting designs that I was considering, I made two placemats with some of the same fabrics as the quilt. The top one is completely quilted and bound, and the lower one still needs more quilting before it gets a binding.

I discovered that it was very difficult to see my bright red quilting thread on the lighter red fabrics, especially the one around the outside edges of the first placemat. It's very hard to get a good photo of the quilting.

I used 1 yard of fabric for the two placemats, plus another 1-1/8 yard for the collection of blue blocks shared in yesterday's post for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

I've also been trying to get going on my projects for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.
