Stash Report and Stitching Time 6/1/2025

The changes to my stash report for the last week were small, but I did manage to use a little fabric. Our guild had a speaker from a local quilt shop recently, and she told us about a mystery quilt program that they were offering. Yesterday was the one-day "Starlight Mini Mystery," and I followed their clues to piece this little quilt top.

21.5" square

The mystery quilt instructions called for 6 fat quarters, but in reality didn't use anywhere near that much. I'm calling it 5/8 yard used. That's a tiny dent in the bin of patriotic fabrics. I'm thinking about adding some borders to bring it up to a more useful size, maybe a baby quilt. Stay tuned...

Kate's 15 Minutes to Stitch Challenge at Life in Pieces has us tracking how many days each week we get in at least 15 minutes of quilting time. I spent some time quilting every day last week, and I even did some garment sewing. I made a blouse for my mother, copying one she already has that fits her well. It felt good to flex my patternmaking skills again.
