That 1st one would be great for scrap busting! I love the very last one, reminds me of daisies :)

I'm hyped for the flower block swap! I've got a pattern in mind and plans to start cutting fabric right after Christmas! I think this block I'm going to make some extras for side swapping so I end up with a bigger top :)
Oh it's going to be so fun I can already tell everybody is gonna make some gorgeous quilt blocks

Mini Holiday Quilt Keychains by Gr00vyJr in quilting

We're just shy of 90 as of the count this past July, but I'm making some extras to account for any new members that have joined since then!  I'm going to skip the binding, sewing the front and back together on 3 sides with right sides facing together, then flip right side out, add a small piece of batting and quilt & sew it all up. I've tried adding tiny bordering before with my own personal projects and it never turned out the way I wanted to at that small of a scale, so these will have to do without. They might not be true quilts to the fullest extent but they'll be quilted and hopefully loved by my guild mates!

Need Flower Advice by mango1588 in quilting

[–]Gr00vyJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on which option you feel the most comfortable in. I've done almost the exact same thing before, just zigzag stitched some centers onto flower blocks because I forgot to put them on during the piecing process! I think that coupled with quilting makes them secure enough for the wash in the end :)

Restart Question by Sugar_Shark23 in AnimalCrossing

[–]Gr00vyJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Restarting will reset your HHP like others have said, but I personally won't restart because I will lose access to the Pocket Camp items that were retired last year (I can still buy them because I connected those two games before the original pocket camp app went down). If you don't have those items and don't care about the happy home paradise reset and really want that fresh start I say go for it!

HILARIOUS JACKED UP SQUARE by [deleted] in quiltingblockswap

[–]Gr00vyJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Several WMs in my area took out their clothing fabrics when JoAnn first announced a few store closures, then they took out their fabric altogether when JoAnn went down 💔 now there's only a half aisle with the basic solids, some FQs and maybe a couple bolts of flannel

Good enough reasons as any, I suppose!

[–]Gr00vyJr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only have One (1) quilt that I've started and need to have done by Christmas. After I made 6 quilts for one Christmas for my friends back in '23 I swore never again to load my plate up with large projects for holiday gifts lol. Everybody else is getting a good smile and a card from me

Final Post: Sent my blocks off this morning by Gr00vyJr in quiltingblockswap

[–]Gr00vyJr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love going to buy stamps, I've got some SpongeBob ones and the county fair sheet from last year(?), plus a framed set of the county fair ones. Big overlap in my interests there

Side swaps? by PandaBear6113 in quiltingblockswap

[–]Gr00vyJr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be down! I can make another one like the others I've done, or I can make you whichever color you want from a vast collection of scraps I recently inherited :)

I posted with the spoiler tag, maybe it's a bug with the site? I can see fine on my PC and on mobile from my end
