Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 14

Posted on July 6, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

I’m losing track, getting off track, and getting confused about what week we’re on!!! I didn’t get this posted last week, and had no plans to post this on Monday since it was a holiday, but I sure thought I’d at least have it posted yesterday — better late than never, right? I’m struggling to […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 12

Posted on June 20, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

We’re twelve weeks in, folks! Have you been doing lots of sewing on your Mad Dash blocks? I made several more over the weekend, but it’s time to have myself a cutting party to cut out some more. I’m almost done with one type/color of my blocks, and well along with some of the others. […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 10

Posted on June 6, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

Week 10 already? I can’t understand how that happens. I feel like Rip van Winkle! I need to start sewing faster. My stockpile isn’t large enough to suit me, so I haven’t begun my assembly yet. But in spite of that, I’m here today with a couple of hopefully helpful tips for Section Two. This […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 9

Posted on June 1, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

I skipped a Monday check-in on purpose this week, because it was a holiday, and I made full use of it! And I have no other excuse for why I’m just now posting this on late Wednesday. I don’t have my Section One pieced yet. And it’s almost time for Section Two. Good thing this […]

Are you ready to start a real section??? This is exciting! We’re starting in the upper left corner and working our way across the rows of sections, so Section One is the upper left corner of our quilt, and we’re gonna get going! Here’s my original pink/gray Section One: Here’s my orange/low-volume version’s Section One: […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 7

Posted on May 16, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

The weeks are flying by! And here it is still Monday, and I have the weekly post ready! I might slowly be coming out of the recent fog I’ve been in. Heaven knows, there’s plenty I need to get done — I just haven’t been motivated to do much of it. Since I have to […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 6

Posted on May 12, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

Another check-in week — how’s it going? If I get any later with the check-in posts, I might as well just skip them — my mojo is flagging, and I’ve been extra slow this week. I blame the heat. So much for that long spring I was talking about — we went from cold (40s […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 5

Posted on May 4, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

Here it is Wednesday again, and I haven’t taken the time to check in with a Mad Dash update. I didn’t get much more sewing done on my blocks this past week. I had a couple urgent deadlines, some errands to run, and spent one day nursing a migraine. I think our stormy weather got […]

Mad Dash Sew Along, Week 4

Posted on April 25, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

Today I’m gonna talk about making some of the partial blocks — the easiest ones — the ones I’m calling 1/3-2/3 blocks. I called them this for lack of anything better to call them, and because they are all either 1/3 or 2/3 of a whole block; when sewn into the quilt, they will meet […]

Mad Dash Sew-Along, Week 3

Posted on April 20, 2022 by prairiemoonquilts in Mad Dash

I know I was supposed to post this on Monday, but it’s been a crazy week here. Evidently, it’s deadline season, and I only just realized it! I think it’s because time gets away from me, and I always think I have more than is actually available. Or maybe it’s because I’m so slow these […]
