Moira: Bits and Pieces

Made some progress on making blocks for my snail quilt.

Orphan block shells on these three, top two are dark purple and dark green moda marbles for the shells.










Strip sets leftover from something made the block for the topmost snail in this pic.

And most of the fabrics in the shell of the bottom snail are the final leftovers from a raffle quilt that I made years ago from blocks made by group members of an internet quilting group that I've been a part of for about 22 yrs now.   We used to get together in person once a year.   And the year that these were from the GT was in Sacramento CA.   The gal who won was a good friend and always a blast to be with.   She passed away maybe 10 yrs ago and is still missed.   Good memories in this block.

Made some ornaments for the gal whose commission I've been working on over the last couple of months.  These balls filled with denim strips and bits that were too small to be used for anything other than thrown in the trash.

 6 tree ornaments were made from denim scraps too small to use for a stocking.  Trunks are little pieces from one of the seams on the overalls.
