It looks like we have 6 Bingo players so far. I have updated the Bingo post at the top with links to your Bingo cards.
If you haven’t joined in the fun yet, there’s still plenty of time! I will update the post at the top as we get more players.

I’ve been telling myself the past week to sit and write down my 1st quarter goals. Instead - I’m finishing stuff that I plan to write down.

I’ve signed up to make scrapy quilt blocks for a group that makes quilts for Project Linus and Journey Home. They want 13 inch square a scrapy blocks (they trim them to 12.5). Each block needs to be one basic color. You can pick up bags of scraps but I jumped at the chance to clear out some of my own. Since I do fabric collages, I keep trays of small scraps so I can rummage through them for just the right color! But they really need to just go away.
13 blocks so far and it’s amazing how little a dent it makes.
Working on reds right now…
And blues…

Thought folks here might like today’s video from the Quilted Forest. Making quilted covers for composition notebooks. I can see making some really scrappy fun ones.

Those scrappy blocks are wonderful, I radically like the reds. But you’re right, it’s amazing how small a dent in a scrap pile that making lots of blocks like that, makes.
Shocking grammar in that previous sentence, but it’s been a very long day and I’m in bed and to tired to figure it out.

Thank you! Ada took a good nap today, so I managed to pin baste it, and even got about 1/3 of it quilted. This one is really moving along.

So far, we have one BOM for the year. That leaves us with 11 months to fill, so please, feel free to make suggestions (plus, if you nominate a block, you’ll be primed to mark that prompt off on your Bingo card should it get called!).
Here are a few sites with various blocks to look through:
