January......

Almost the end of the month already.....  

At the club I go to if there is 5 Tuesdays in the month the last one is a de-stash day and people can take in things they no longer need.  So far I have never sold but I have often found a few bits of fabric I don't really need! 


Another scrap quilt started this weekend..... this only uses small amounts of colour fabric so ideal for those smaller scraps in the basket.  They are little buttons - the blocks are 4" as is and will be alternated with plain white blocks in between.  I have some white 'sheeting' I purchased yonks ago so I will use that - lovely and soft.  I will do as many blocks as I can in each colour (I would like 96 at the end of the year)  RSC colour was dark/bright blues but there are a few ring-ins there....


I did this months quilting on my Quilt Along - also using Scraps.  On Williams Street is hosting this and I am combining it with RSC.


The other blue one is my house which was the first idea.... one house each month...


I hope I can keep up with the 3 of them.

Finishes this month included last years RSC fish quilt.....


3 little draw string bags....


And a long waiting to be quilted Charming Stars quilt......


... and a little basket was made.... also from scraps....


Thank you January..... 

Righto, Gotto Go... need to collect up some coins and small notes for tomorrow's de-stash... coffee first of course....

Congrats on the finishes! All pretties! Your button blocks look like fun and would be a great RSC quilt.

Three great RSC blocks Fiona, love the cute buttons.
Well done with your finishes for January.
I’ve just filled a bag with things I no longer NEED, wish we had a destash day.
We just pop them on the table at Patch and whatever is still there in two weeks is donated to the Op shop.
Have a nice day tomorrow.

It looks like a busy month Fiona. I love those buttons blocks....I started making some once, but you know me, I didn't get very far with them! Love the quilting On Williams St too. Awesome work.
