Eight. 7 ate my time.

OK.
It MAY not Happen.
Today I want to work on Project 7 a little longer.
Yesterday I ironed all 56 blocks.  It took a long time. 

Today I plan to
get them into a quilt top.
I believe I will use 54 of them, 9 rows of 6 blocks.

I MAY
Sandwich them with batting and backing

I am so excited.

Garage Sale Seven

Day 7 of It May Happen

I bought this stack (and another like it) at a garage sale.
For next-to-nothing.
Tied together with black thread.

It had this little note pinned to the back of the stack:
"56 pcs. For Twin (or with other stack, it will make a Double or Larger)"

You can see in the above picture that the center 8-pointed stars are HAND-PIECED to the Yellow Squares and then HAND-PIECED to the blue-print diamonds.


As I ironed them in preparing to work on them, this MAY 7th,
I am confident they were all HAND-PIECED by the same person.
At some later point someone sewed the corner squares on with a machine.

These corner squares are all prints with red and white - that read.... pinkish.
The OTHER stack of 56 squares have pink corners. 
I believe I will make 2 twin-sized quilts from the 2 piles.

While the stacks of blocks are my MAY 7 BEFORE pictures...

Here is a picture ALONG THE WAY:

(This one is going to be so fun!)

Six

What day is it, MAY I ask?
I believe the answer is six...

This is a quilt top from a batik challenge - December 2015.
I plan to layer it on this sixth day - in order to quilt it here at home.

Cinco de Mayo

Project 5 - It May Happen

Before picture:

May the Fourth

Fourth Project.       It MAY happen.

I got a pile of shirts from my friend.

And a handful of other friends are going to help me make a quilt from these.

We have made quilts like this before.

In SIZE LARGE

and in SIZE MEDIUM

... which contained POCKETS.

The smaller blocks all contain the pockets from a variety of shirts.

MAY the Fourth's job is - packaging up the blocks to go.

And these blocks are mine to make.

They will be half-sized blocks for the top and bottom of the middle column.

AFTER pictures MAY follow for Projects 1.  2.  3. and 4.

I MAY make a full Cathedral Window Quilt in the future.

But for now I have a test block that I MAY make into a pillow.

For May 2

May 3

BEFORE Picture  - of Disappearing 4-Patch Quilt.  

I MAY have finished this quilt top 5 years ago?

From 4-Patch leftovers from my Mom.

I MAY quilt it for May 3.

It May Happen

It has been a LONG TIME since I have posted anything.

This May I am setting a Goal.
It MAY be an unrealistic Goal.

I want to work on a different project each day in May.
And MAYBE aim to finish one stage each day.

I MAY post a BEFORE the day begins picture
and an AFTER I have worked picture.

May 1.
Project: Cover for a portable Pulpit and a Carrying Bag for the shelves.

Here is the AFTER picture for May 1.  The photo shows the progress on the Carrying Bag.

Here is a photo of the Finished Cover.

Finalized pictures MAY follow.
