A Challenge over at Cat Patches to start something new each month is something I'm trying again this year. Last year I didn't get many entries, but this year it's on my monthly check sheet! I'll see how well I can do.
Monday, my sister called me and asked if I had any quilts that were 41 x 42 for her to use as window coverings to block out the light. I have a quilt that is done that I can send and it's a bit longer, but she said that would work. Last night I cut strings for another. I was going to do a different kind of block, but, I ended up doing my favorite "go to" block when I'm in a hurry. So far I have the center piece done for this quilt now--just need to sew it together, add a border or two and then quilt it.

It looks like I'm going to have to devote a day or two to some quilting!
This is a top from New Years Day Sewing:
And Saturday I started a Rainbow Challenge to use up scraps. I finished the center of the top yesterday. I have some pale pink Kona that I think I'll use as a border.
Then I have the one thing that I finished and originally thought was my only NewFO for January.
With all the snow and the horrible air quality here in Utah, I've stayed in and sewed quite a bit. The air has cleared and I think I'll do some badly needed grocery shopping this afternoon.

A lot of great projects. That first string quilt window cover will look like stained glass with light shining through it!
You started a lot of great projects this month. They are all beautiful.

What pretty projects. I love the colors in your top image.
I love the colours in your new quilt.
I am visiting from Richard and Tanya Quilts blog and love your string quilts. I have plans to do one for a pro bono quilt challenge using our challenge fabric. I've been very busy finishing my first crazy shortcut quilt for a client. Shipped it yesterday, so ready for something new.
Your top from New Year's Day is lovely! Love the color!
You really have a lot of great projects for January. I always love your string quilts, but the purple one is really cute.
