A little more Lotta challenge

I've just finished up the Echo challenge as well as the March UFO one.
I made a table runner with my Echo charms and
bordered it with Echo yardage.

It's quilted in straight lines and it coordinates with my sewing machine cover.

I may use it on the sewing table, or the dining table.
It looks great both places.

A well-dressed sewing machine for my March challenge

So that nine-patch of circles minus one became what I originally intended:
a cover for my Juki sewing machine.

It took a little engineering, but it fits.
Here's the back where I made room for the thread stand
by removing one block, as shown in the previous post.
I used Kona Espresso for the backing and the binding, and
some off-white Kona for the background.
Thanks for the March challenge that pushed me to finish this!

Two challenges in one

I'm combining my solid and Lotta fabric challenge from August
with the March challenge of repurposing a UFO.
I cut the package of charms into circles and got this far last summer
but then stalled about what to do next.

I found the answer by unpicking one of the circle blocks.
Stay tuned for what happens next.
I'm liking where it's going, but I'm not quite ready to show you yet.

Here's What Materialized

A mini for me ...
I cut up my least favorite block & used it in the corners.




And another mini for AAQI ...

March Challenge

Today I had some time to play with four blocks made
a few years ago when I was learning how to paper piece.
I've always liked them.
Maybe a mini quilt with wide colorful borders?


Maybe a table runner with a narrow border using a competing graphic?



Maybe the start of a large quilt?



Maybe I need to play some more!
