Weeks 15 and 16 of Fifteen Minutes to Stitch

 I posted week 14 results late, which made me lose track of time in posting things.  This means you get to see two weeks of progress. 

15 Minutes to Stitch Week 15

This week, I finished editing the Dozen Quilts in a Dozen Weeks video. I have posted it here in case you want to watch it. There is a large variety of fun projects and you get to see their relative sizes. 

Also I had posted earlier a YouTube video about the Quilt National Show if you want to see that. I didn't notice until linking it here that the thumbnail picture is crooked. I have fixed it, so hopefully it will appear straight to you. 

I continued the relaxed pace that I started in Week 14. Cleaning the sewing room and sewing some more Sawtooth Stars and Lupine and Laughter blocks.

I have been very particular with the colors in the Green Sawtooth Stars. I started with a bluish green and was trying to work my way down to the yellow greens, but I don't have a lot of fabrics in the solid green. My older fabrics don't seem to be as clear as the newer ones.  I don't know why this quilt is being so particular, because in the past, I would say that if it is in my green fabrics box, it will work. I had plans to take care with the directional blocks, but as you can see in my haste to get them together, I didn't place them right, and I am not changing them. As you can see in the bottom row, color placement changes the look of the block. I'm not sure I like them, but for now, I am going to say that it is going to add to the quirkiness of the quilt without breaking any rules.

15 Minutes to Stitch Week 16

This week, I didn't do any sewing, though I did clean a little.  Mostly, I was focused on other tasks around the house.  Just doing a spring refresh around the house and spending time with family.

I Made a Dozen Quilts in a Dozen Weeks

As we were nearing the end of the first quarter at the beginning of last week, I was thinking about how many quilts I had made already an because it was a good number, I made a bigger push to finish even more quilts. I have recorded a show and tell video and am in the process of editing it now. II will publish it on my Quilt and Color YouTube channel when it is finished in a day or two.

I've shown you a lot of finishes here throughout the year, but I haven't shown you all the finishes yet. I will post them here since I always publish my finishes here, but I want to get the video out first.

I finished all four Dresden Plate quilts. 

15 Minutes to Stitch Week 14

After the big rush, I wanted to take a break from quilting, so I didn't quilt on April 1.  Then I remembered that I also want to quilt every day.  With my rules for the 15 Minutes to Quilt challenge, I am allowed to make up the time as long as it is within the same week. So I made up the time, and will say that I have quilted every day. 

The first part of the week was in a finishing frenzy, and the second half of the week was more relaxed, working on a much needed cleaning of the space, and making more sawtooth stars.

• 15 minute days / March = 31 / 31 days
• 15 minute days / April = 4 / 4
• 15 minute days / 2026 = 94 / 94 days
• Success rate = 100%
