<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Remember when you are making blocks for <b><a href="http://thebarefootheart.com/70273-2/" target="_blank">The 70273 Project</a> </b>they need to be specific sizes as listed below & must be accompanied by a completed <a href="http://thebarefootheart.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/ProvenanceForm21Oct16.pdf" target="_blank"><b>Provenance form</b></a>.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The red crosses can be machine pieced, appliqued, embroidered, made with ribbons, buttons whatever you choose. Make one, make lots as plenty more are needed to reach the goal of 70,273, one block to represent each disabled person who lost their life!</span></div>

Three doctors were to read each medical file, and when two of them made a red X on the page, the disabled person’s fate was sealed. Most were murdered within 1-2 hours."</span></span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This English paper pieced top of 1.5"hexagons was finally completed back in January last year & sat there waiting for quilting ideas.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">so last month I decided to have a go at some simple zig zag quilting on my Singer 1929 treadle machine....</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh59kpzpj5Vcx_9eelZ7BtXHg3F_9bo7Dr-PlzhDhQjahBMZHJZlNdSDy17-vcx0b3hlwZtRDCgcqzOYNXMnPr5djo4v4PoRT3w_LBYxpDhT-XHF-5gdBUg9uBtTiViaV4BWT1h/s1600/IMG_2131.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh59kpzpj5Vcx_9eelZ7BtXHg3F_9bo7Dr-PlzhDhQjahBMZHJZlNdSDy17-vcx0b3hlwZtRDCgcqzOYNXMnPr5djo4v4PoRT3w_LBYxpDhT-XHF-5gdBUg9uBtTiViaV4BWT1h/s320/IMG_2131.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">which wasn't always easy as extra weight had been added to the quilt layers!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Cp-5akAat2ARCaI9RHBcngnww-FwTtmkGF5X-A7UMRrBybRvGD4LqnGDpMzA6f-hMX8bWNZRKcX-SL-rOQjqB8K6CT0HBIul4244gL-v1DyKoOg-64TyAumuRuk-ulPi98V4/s1600/IMG_2124.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Cp-5akAat2ARCaI9RHBcngnww-FwTtmkGF5X-A7UMRrBybRvGD4LqnGDpMzA6f-hMX8bWNZRKcX-SL-rOQjqB8K6CT0HBIul4244gL-v1DyKoOg-64TyAumuRuk-ulPi98V4/s320/IMG_2124.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>

You can see the original blog post <a href="http://artescapes.blogspot.com/2012/09/boxes-baskets.html" target="_blank">here</a></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Gradually over the next few years a few more blocks were made here & there as the mood struck until eventually at last in 2014 all the blocks were finally done</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPMaTmX88bCJ7M7dXe4llBHLx6Po0rieDIAtPIkHJeRwan1pmB6XCwQnPAElWkPYw-T-nwbB4HF5t1mBJAY8F6HO8JgbLmbIkQGD_-aYMCFeFoG6gN5usjRPgA2_q4f9u8oWXA/s1600/IMG_0814.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="268" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPMaTmX88bCJ7M7dXe4llBHLx6Po0rieDIAtPIkHJeRwan1pmB6XCwQnPAElWkPYw-T-nwbB4HF5t1mBJAY8F6HO8JgbLmbIkQGD_-aYMCFeFoG6gN5usjRPgA2_q4f9u8oWXA/s320/IMG_0814.JPG" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then they just sat there,with the backing fabric squares also cut out all ready waiting to be quilted. I planned to construct this using the Quilt As You Go method with some plain royal blue sashing</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then last month they were pulled out again, simply quilted with straight lines on my trusty Singer treadle & all assembled into a completed & quilted top</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This last weekend the binding was attached & I made the most of a beautiful day in the garden to finish hand stitching the binding down & ta dah......we have a completed quilt, finally!</span></div>

I have fallen way behind in making may daily circles as too many other projects are distracting me.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm still trying to avoid as little waste as possible by using the circle cut outs to make more circle blocks as in the next 2 below</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> <span style="text-align: center;">So to date I have 86 units/blocks or if you count the number of individual circles appliqued 138.............</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; text-align: center;">I think I'll stick with the latter number, it certainly sounds better :)</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm also joining the blocks as I go & here they are all together so far, this isn't the final layout as it looks a bit messy, still needs a bit of tweaking as more blocks are added.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first 6 days worth of 4.5" blocks</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Realizing I would end up with lots of neutral circle cut outs, I thought, what if I add these to the mix too? (I hate wasting fabric)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So this 4.5" x 8.5" block was born</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Then I thought what if I throw in some bigger circles using up bits of made fabric from scraps a la <a href="http://www.15minutesplay.com/2011/01/how-to-15-minute-fabric.html" target="_blank">Victoria Findlay Wolfe 15 minutes play time</a>?</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">No waste here either as I can get a 4.5" background for a smaller circle block from the cutout</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Having started sewing circles on 5th November I'm now up to day 27. I'm counting each background piece of fabric (whether it contains one circle or three) as one day's work, so without further ado, here they are to date:</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's quite a nice process coming in from work each day & dipping into the Kaffe scraps to choose that evening's fabric for my daily circle & quite a relaxing bit of mindless stitching after a stressful day.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Throughout 2014 I was following Temecula Quilt Co's posts <a href="http://temeculaquiltco.blogspot.com/search/label/Fussy%20Cut%20Friday" target="_blank">Fussy Cut Fridays</a> & just loved the variety of stars being produced. Being a huge fan of EPP I finally succumbed in September & started making stars from my stash of Civil War reproduction fabrics.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also loved the setting they used & decided to follow the same pattern for joining my stars together. You only need two shapes for this pattern, 2inch 60 degree diamonds & 4inch hexagons. (measurements taken on the side of the shape)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's a few of my favorites so far:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So far all the stars are different & I've now exhausted my own repro stash, so, in order to have more variety I have purchased the odd 1800 remnant bag or two from <a href="http://www.homesteadhearth.com/shop/An-Online-Blowout/Remnant-Bags/p/Grab-Bag-of-assorted-fabrics.htm" target="_blank">Homestead Hearth</a>. These bags are such good value & full of decent size scraps in a great mixture of fabrics which are perfect for making these stars.</span><br />

The fabric provided is more than enough to produce each block so there is extra for oops moments or even to make a second block.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The nearly finished top - looking at this picture it needs another narrow border of the black to contain the stars on the edge. My "Inspired by Grand Illusion" is quite different from the Bonnie original which using the suggested colours looks fabulous, just google Grand Illusion mystery quilt & check out all the lovely photos.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, unintentionally, I have already started 2 new projects this year & revisited a UFO. I'm hoping to concentrate on existing WIP (works in progress) & in order to take stock I've created another <a href="http://artescapes.blogspot.com/p/wworks-in-progress.html" target="_blank">page</a> which also helps remind me I need to finish some of the older projects before starting more new ones.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having said that, I find I am more productive by having so much variety to work with as I never get bored & they will all get finished in the end!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">How many WIP's do you currently have and are there ones that will remain UFO's? What do you do with them if you really don't like them anymore? Would love to hear your views on this:)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Having experimented with a few sizes, I finally chose to cut phone book paper to 3.5" wide x 10.5" long for my strip piecing. Once trimmed & paper removed I added 1.25" </span><span style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">black strips to each side & cut the points with my Companion angle ruler. Neutral triangles were cut with the same ruler from 3.25" strips & added to each side, the block was then trimmed down to 7.5" square.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here it is in all it's glory, this quilt finished at single bed/generous lap size, which was big enough for my first big hand quilting project.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here we have a possible layout of how I'm planning on joining these together "Quilt as You Go" method to make one large quilt. As I've mentioned before these little quilts are very good practice for improving my machine piecing and hand quilting. Odd orphan and play blocks are being used as fillers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hopefully it won't be so long before my next post, in the meantime, keep on stitching :)</span><br />
