Starbound Finished from Podunk Pretties

Starbound is bound! I can't wait to get her washed and on the bed. This quilt was a great way to use up some bigger scraps of fabric.

The quilting is entirely ruler work. The outer border didn’t turn out as planned, so I added a bit more quilting than I thought was necessary. Since the outer border ended up over quilted, I left the red inner border unquilted to balance it out and keep it softer since it’s bed sized and will be used. Seems logical to me, though it might just be laziness. Haha!

This Weeks Progress ~ Scraps And Binding from Podunk Pretties

This week was a slow one for quilting, but I still made it into the sewing room every day, even if only for a few minutes. While sorting through the tiny scraps bin, I realized there were even more scraps tucked away in the “Sweets” tin, where I keep random triangles to turn into half square triangles. As you can see, they multiply like rabbits....it’s time to let them go!

There were three HST's in the tin, so they’ll be added to the hoard of HST's.

My scrap HST system is bursting at the seams ...

One Quilt Off The Frame....Next In Line from Podunk Pretties

Starbound is off the frame, and now the only thing left is to hand stitch the binding to the back.

Before diving into the soul soothing handwork, I need to tackle the fabric scraps from this quilt. The large blue and floral piece will be placed in the scrap backing stash, and the batting scrap will be saved for franken-batting. The small pieces on the left-hand side of the picture will be cut into usable sizes for the fabric scrap saver system.

Just 20 minutes of slicing and dicing, and TADA! Taking care of scraps as they appear is so ...

Starbound Quilting And Tiny Scrap Sort Progress from Podunk Pretties

Hello Quilty Friends! Just a quick update on my quilting progress since our last chat. A little over half of the Starbound quilt is finished, and since it’s entirely ruler work, it’s taking a bit more time. I’m hoping to have it off the frame by Thursday evening. You can find more details on this quilt and pattern by clicking here.

I spent a couple of days bouncing between quilting and sorting tiny scraps. I dumped them all onto the cutting table, thinking I’d cut them as I sorted....bad idea. There are way more one ...

Starbound Quilt Top from Podunk Pretties

I started making this quilt from a picture I saved on Pinterest. The picture had no information. Finding quilt pattern names is almost impossible these days due to algorithms that are supposed to make things easier. I think it has made things worse. I'm pretty sure he who pays the most gets pushed to the top of the search. Using all the key words I could think of I searched Google, DuckDuckGo, Pinterest, Bing, Instagram, and Facebook. I even did a reverse image search. Thankfully my aging brain can still work things out with a little time. I knew ...
