WIP Wednesday 9.10.2025

I'm getting back into sewing mode!

I finished sewing the first VA quilt for my friend Bernice. She says 'they' are very strict and the quilts are to be 48 x 48.


Instead of giving Bernice back a few leftover squares, I went into my stash to make another VA lap quilt. I had left the 2 patches pieced and had to iron them.


I then sewed the 2's into 4's.


I tried to keep a little better organization to the scraps and sewed this one into a flimsy.


I did play a few rounds of 'bobbin chicken' and LOST. I also played 'batting chicken' and LOST. There will be NO buying of lottery tickets today! :)

    The strong diagonals really stand out. And how satisfying to use up all the squares.

    The tops look great. And what a great way to move out squares or even odd pieces of fabric. I hate when I lose the bobbin races. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. I hope your wins out pace the losses!

    the top looks great and she will really be pleased with your work! Bummer about being short a bit! I save odd cut-off strips for just such a reason! lol

    Simple but striking! The VA will love these and the veterans will adore them. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss. https://www.inquiringquilter.com/questions/2025/09/10/wednesday-wait-loss-449
