On the left is my Strippy Slab Star made with small pieces from my crumb bag in the center & strips from the bin for the points. That’s the last of my 8 designated RSC2025 projects so I’m caught up! While the string bin was out I made 15 string blocks at 6.5″ that will go in a donation pile for later.
This month’s blocks for the Frightful Fun! FPP BOM are potion bottles, so I got the blocks of small bottles done & now I need to make the large bottles, then on to July.
Finished the binding last night on my quilt group project from last year using the Wholehearted pattern by A Bright Corner. I used part of the Albion FQ bundle by Amy Smart that I was gifted by the hubby last year for Mother’s Day & it turned out to be a perfect choice!
This is my WIP completion for the month. I have several of these Rainbow I-Spy kits cut & ready for webbing. I’ve made five of these for donation in the past, but these kits have been sitting around for at least five years & need to be sewn up & donated. So I got busy & it’s ready to send to Many Hands and Many Hearts with my block drive contribution. I use Amy Smart’s tutorial if you are interested. They are cute, use fun novelty prints, & could be done in several limited palettes rather than the rainbow.
I have a goal to get 12 WIPs to flimsy stage this year, & I’m calling a project a WIP that was started before 2025 with some cutting done.

Wow! Lots of progress on many different projects. Love the potion blocks. Congrats on finishing the Wholehearted quilt. That’s a cool one. I always love an I Spy quilt. I should kit a few like yours for donation. Quick and easy. But the best part is, of course, the orange star and the string blocks. Fifteen blocks are a lot of strings. Well done. ;^)
I love your Rainbow I Spy design! That’s a really fun idea. What size are you cutting the squares?
3.5″ squares. I linked to the tutorial.
Love those string blocks!!! Wholehearted is a wonderful Mother’s Day gift!!! Thanks for sharing the link to Amy’s tutorial!
You have so many wonderful projects going, Sue. Naturally, I love the strings!! But the Rainbow I-Spy is absolutely adorable. Have a Happy 4th of July.
You inspired my strings. I’m going to try to make some each month (or every other month) & just save them until I can put them together for donations.
