Yesterdays block had more 1/2" HST units, and it took me a good part of the morning to get that block made.  However, she promised that it was going to be the last one for awhile.  After I got it completed, I had to get busy with a few other things, and didn't have time to write my post.  So here is yesterdays block.

Today's block was an easy one, and I had it finished in a few minutes.  We used an extra HST unit from an earlier block, and sewed it to create another unit.  We only needed one unit for today, and were told the other one would be used at a later time.

I am still working on prepping fabric for my Stash Busters 2019 quilt, and have selected all of my 72 fabrics I want to use for that quilt.  I still need more neutrals, and I haven't decided if I will buy more fabric to have a different neutral for each block, or reuse some of what I have.  I have been able to stick to my no fabric buying so far this year, but I also said that if I need it for a project I'm currently working on I can buy what I need to finish that project. So buying more neutrals wouldn't be breaking that promise, since I am working on that quilt, and my neutral stash is almost non existent as it is.   I will probably start picking up a few extra FQs of neutrals as I can, instead of trying to get them all at one time, so I can spread the cost over a number of months. I have to keep reminding myself that this is a year long challenge, and even though some people have already made enough blocks to make a quilt top, I am not trying to win any prizes for getting it done as quickly as I can.  And I have plenty of other projects to work on, until I can get more neutrals into my stash. So once I finish prepping what I can, I will get some blocks sewn, but then I will be getting back to my other projects that need attention.

I have made a few more Sawtooth Stars for  my Stars for A New Day quilt, and I need to get busy on those pinwheel blocks, for the next border.  And in the next day or two I want to work on the next Wall Hanging for March for our front door... so lots to do beside working on the Stash Busters quilt.


Until next time... Happy Crafting!!!
