Just for fun, I fused petal shapes to each block.
And I machine embroidered each petal (or teardrop, or honey drop) to its background.
Cute!
Now, the bane of my current existence…how to finish this thing.
Narrow black sashing? Black with white polka dots? Medium blue sashing?
Dark blue narrow sashing?
Various white prints?
How about no sashing? Or that light grey bee print?
I give up.
This project is not done marinating.
Have fun and carry on!

I have spent a couple of pleasant rainy afternoons cutting, cutting, and cutting some more.
I cut lots of tumbler pieces from another stack of those ’90s charm squares.
I cut from all of the blues that I had left, so this project is going to be random scrappy.
I don’t know how many I have, so I don’t know what size, or even what it is, that I am making.
Placemats? Crib quilt?
I also cut out stacks of 15″ squares to be sewn into a backing for the Silk Path flimsy.
Why 15″, you ask?
That is the size of my largest square ruler.
As long as I was sorting through the neutral fabric chunks to cut large squares, I also cut remnants into useable sizes of strips and squares. You will have to trust me on this since I didn’t take a photo of these.
I feel so accomplished and organized!
I have a trip coming up soon, so the sewing will commence at a future date, but these projects will be ready when I am.
Have fun and carry on!

Remember this photo?
As long as I was cutting for Silk Path, I cut enough of the those charm squares from the 90’s to make 20 half-square triangles (HRTs).
I’ve had these 20 HRTs on the design board and arranged every which way.
After sewing, I realized that I had used this star in the previous 90s charm square quilt. I guess I like it! Ha, ha!
This little quilt is about 19″ square.
Fun to bust out a quick little project and use up these oldie, but goodie charm squares!
This finished project is headed for the gift box.
Have fun and carry on!
