Hello from Salt Lake City! It's been fun to get away to Sewtopia for this weekend, and I will be sure to give a recap on Tuesday. Prior to leaving, I was digging through my sewing room and found my stash of abandoned blocks. Most of these blocks were created with the 2017 Quilter's Planner Weekly Blocks, but I only made the first 22. I found another 3 blocks that were abandoned to come up with my 25 blocks.
I'm not quite sure what to do with the blocks, but I'm thinking maybe I should make them into a picnic quilt or something that I can just use or donate. All of the blocks are 12.5" so the finished quilt would be 60"x60". What do you do with your abandoned blocks?
As an update for my Autumn Mandala, I finished the piece right as my plane was landing into Salt Lake City! This is one of my all-time favorites from Cozy Blue Handmade, you can pick up a kit here.
I also heard back from Curated Quilts about my mini, and it didn't make the cut. Boo. Read about the mini here. Overall it was a pretty fun experience, so I'm hoping to do more small challenges in the future!
I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend, and if you ever get a chance to go to a sewing retreat make sure you go! I'll be posting photos of Sewtopia on my Instagram and Facebook Page this weekend!
