Midweek Chain Report

 It's a flimsy!
Interlocking Chains
70 x 84

 I started making these blocks in 2016 as a Rainbow Scrap Challenge project. Yellow, brown, orange...
 ...red and blue.   

I made it my goal to try to get some UFOs with chains in them to flimsy stage in April. I had to make 12 more blocks this month to add to the previously made 18. And now it's a flimsy. Wooohooo! 


 In other chain news I did make a few more Carolina Chain blocks.  I have only about 1/3 of the dark and light chains necessary to start top assembly. Since I only started this last year to use 2 inch scraps left after making my Fractured Rainbow quilt I'm going to set it aside for this month until I get the older chain quilts to flimsy stage. 
 I've moved forward some on Jack's Chain. I have another "row" to add to this section and then I'll add it to the bigger section and take a measurement. I'm aiming for a large quilt but not sure how many more block and connector rows I need before I can call this a flimsy.  With all the Y seams this is very slow going and I want to get one other chain quilt to flimsy stage so I can totally devote time to getting Jack's Chain to flimsy stage. I'm hoping that happens this month. Time will tell. 
I've joined 5 of 15 rows of Trail Mix. Hopefully this will be a flimsy next week although I have been spending a lot of time in the garden and not so much time sewing lately. A few rainy days are in the forecast this week so we shall see what happens.  I think this trail/chain will look like a patch through the woods in autumn.

Midweek Chain Report

 I picked the theme CHAINS for April to move some UFOs forward and am reporting on progress each Wednesday in order to keep myself accountable. 

I made four more INTERLOCKING CHAIN blocks.  Only four more to go and I will have 30 blocks and be ready for top assembly. 
 I finished 42 Nine Patches for TRAIL MIX.  This quilt requires five different sets of blocks and this is the final set so I can now start assembling a top.  

I made 18 more dark chain blocks for a total of 50 and 28 more light chain blocks for a total of 60.

No work was done this week on JACK'S CHAIN.
