Straight from the dryer in its crinklie goodness is Hit the Spot.
Three must be the lucky number, because that’s how many times I starting quilting it and then spent some time with the seam ripper.
I finally settled on this little square as a starting point and went round and round without worrying about straight lines so much.
The whole quilt is made with leftovers. Some strip piecing and past binding discards,
and blocks made as samples for a past bee.
The background all pulled from my neutral scrap bin. I probably should have gone with darker thread. I had no clue how much the quilting would sink into the flannel bits. Hit the Spot has linen, Kona, flannel and regular print quilting cottons. I learned a bit about quilting with such a variety of different textured fabrics…no consistent stitch length. I’m not winning any shows for sure.
It’s now up as a sample for my Improvisational Quilting Class come March.

I started my Destash finally. There are the Boys Squares (see this post) available again and you don’t have to bid! I have a few sets so let me know if I need to relist. Things have been moving out already without me even mentioning it here. I’ll continue through the week.
