TGIFF - Scrappy Colour Flow

Welcome to the first Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday (TGIFF) of September.  TGIFF is the opportunity to share your finishes from this week.  You can find out who is hosting each week by heading over to the TGIFF blog.

At Sewtopia Ann Arbor 2026, we had a Scrappy Colour Flow class with Allie @ Exhausted Octopus.  We were to bring a variety of 5-inch and 2.5-inch squares in two to three colour families.  Or we could purchase a charm pack from Allie.  Due to time constraints, I purchased a charm pack.


The class description was:  "Allie will guide you through the art of seeing fabric through the lens of color and value and how to bring seemingly mismatched fabrics together into a beautiful, cohesive flow across a quilt."


Quilting was simple -- a quick all over stipple for the finish!


This was a fun class, and I'm happy with my little baby quilt.


It's time for you to link up your finishes from this week.  Please also visit a few of the link ups to get some inspiration and to share some quilty love with other makers.  

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

WIP Wednesday - Paperdrop Quilt

I pieced a quilt top!

I bought the Paperdrop quilt pattern by Latifah Saafir back in 2022 at Sewtopia Palm Springs.  I was intrigued by the HuRTy ruler.

Here is my version of Paperdrop.  I made the smallest size -- 48 x 48 inches.


Perfect HRTs (or as perfect as my sewing gets). 😊


I used Kona:  Marmalade, School Bus, Purple, Wisteria, Fern, Pear, and White.



Now that my broken pinky toe is more or less healed, I'm looking forward to getting back to sewing.
